I am going to replace my shower cabin with a bath. The shower is supplied water by a 2.5 bar pump. My ? Is, can I use the pump to supply water to the bath taps. Thanks

can I use the pump to supply water to the bath taps.

yes you can. Your biggest problem will be rerouting the trap and drainage. What material are you working with? Will this be a standard bathtub? Is the shower vented? Can you give me more details? Back to you, Tom

Tom, thanks for your speedy response. There was a bath previously in this bathroom, however, the water pipes supplying it are now boxed in behind a tile wall. Hence the question. My main concerns were, (1) I assume the bath taps would dispense water at a faster rate than a shower head, (2) The hot water is supplied from a 140 litre tank, (3) the cold water would be supplied from a header tank in the loft. So my the reason for my question was, would the system cope.
Thanks

I love pan [/QUOTE]If you say the drainage doesn't have to be changed. Then we can concentrate on the tub and shower valve

(1) I assume the bath taps would dispense water at a faster rate than a shower head,

. If your concern about volume both valve . Put out the same volume.

(2) The hot water is supplied from a 140 litre tank

what's your concern? Are you worried you're going to run out of hot water? You tank should handle all your demands.

(3) the cold water would be supplied from a header tank in the loft. So my the reason for my question was, would the system cope.

if, as you say[QUOTEThe shower is supplied water by a 2.5 bar pump.][/QUOTE] then they should be no problem about pressure. Does this answer your questions? Back to you, Tom
