StuartTurner

Stuart Turner manufacture shower pumps, booster sets and pressurisation units used to improve water flow and pressure in domestic and commercial systems. They're commonly paired with cold water storage tanks, cylinders or rainwater harvesting systems where mains pressure alone isn't sufficient. Models range from single shower boost pumps to whole-house booster sets for multiple outlets.

Sizing depends on the number of outlets you need to run simultaneously, the pipe run length, and whether the system is gravity-fed or pressurised. As a rule of thumb, a single shower needs a smaller bar-rated pump than a whole-house booster feeding several bathrooms at once. If you're unsure, check your existing flow rate and head of water, or speak to our technical team before ordering.

Yes, many Stuart Turner pumps are suitable for non-potable applications such as boosting water from a rainwater harvesting tank to WCs or outdoor taps. You'll need a model designed for that duty cycle rather than a bathroom shower pump, as harvesting systems often run more frequently and against variable head. Always keep non-potable pumped supplies clearly separated from mains-fed potable pipework to satisfy Water Regulations.

While competent DIY installation is possible for straightforward shower pump swaps, we'd always recommend a qualified plumber or pump installer, particularly for booster sets tied into mains supply or pressurised systems. Incorrect installation can affect warranty cover and, in some cases, breach Water Regulations if backflow protection isn't fitted correctly. Electrical connections should always be carried out by a competent person in line with Part P.

A positive head pump is designed for installations where the water source (such as a cold water storage tank) sits above the pump, giving it a gravity-fed start. A negative head pump is built to draw water up from below the pump, such as from a tank at a lower level or ground floor cylinder. Fitting the wrong type can cause poor performance or premature failure, so check your tank and pump layout before ordering.

Most Stuart Turner pumps are stocked items and typically dispatch within a few working days, though larger booster sets or made-to-order units can take longer. We'll confirm an estimated delivery window at checkout or by email once your order is placed. If you need a pump urgently for an ongoing installation, contact us before ordering to check current stock levels.
