Drainage Pumps

Hi,

wondering if anybody has any experince of these?

I'm going to get my bathroom redone soon. I want to have a shower over the bath, but the way the bathroom is makes it a bit difficult. Firstly, the window extends to about a foot over the end of the bath where the taps are, which makes putting a shower at that end a bit difficult - I can't see a shower screen that would work and if I put a curtain up it will cover the taps/shower controls. I've thought about just installing the bath the other way round (with the taps against a wall), which would be great, except I live in an upstairs flat and the drainage is rubbish - the kitcchen and bthroom all feed into the same waste drain - the kitchen waste passes the bath on its way down, if that makes sense. There's about a 6 fall on my bath now before it gets to the vertical pipe (which is in a bedroom and boxed in)and it takes forever to drain - if I move the drain in the bath another 6 foot or so, it's never going to run away.

I have an electric shower over the bath at the opposite end now, but I'd really like to run the shower straight from my hot water system.

Any ideas?

Make sure you make the sump easily accessible, you will be clearing hair from it often. Plenty of experience on Narrow boats of this.

Good point - I hadn't thought of this - thanks

I've got no experience of those pumps (where do you put them?) but I've got a similar issue with an ensuite shower draining into the main waste pipe at the other end of the house, it drops about 5cm over a 10m horizontal run! So I'd be very interested to know a solution too.
