Bathroom Fitting

Noise of pump in bathroom

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.30 PM

Water pressure in our bathroom was low so we got a pump fitted near the hot water tank. The pump is inside our bathroom in a cupboard. The noise from the pump so was high that we have unpluged the pump and not using it anymore. Is there a way to increase the water pressure in the shower without the noise? (What about power shower? Does that make noise too?)

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Is the pump noisey because it's vibrating the mounts? try some simple sound proofing (but allow enough room for the pump motor to cool) some pumps have rubber feet, others benefit from bubble wrap under them, try it it may be a simple solution before you spend money on a longer term solution.

a bit of sound proofing would be the first step then a better quality pump next if the sound proofing isnt up to the job

take it your shower from a tank CWST, what about converting your shower to mains pressure, You can also buy a shower with a pump in it but is a lil noisy, take it the problem with the pressure is for all the cold water or just the shower
