    • @AaronM4275
      @AaronM4275 3 года назад +2

      There's isn't enough pressure in the system for the hot and cold so the pump increases the pressure giving the shower more power when in use 👍

    • @SmartPipePlumbing
      @SmartPipePlumbing  3 года назад +2

      Thanks for the support, the water pressure is really poor due to it been on a gravity fed system. So we use a pump to boost the pressure.
