Pumps with a metal casing may cost up to double the price of a similar pump without the casing. For instance, the price of a Â½-horsepower stainless steel or brass core pedestal pumps can run between $280 and $500.
A shower pump is an electric pump that is used to maintain a steady flow and pressure of water in a shower. The pump works best on stored water as compared to water that comes directly from the mains. With a shower pump, the fear of water suddenly stopping when you are taking a shower is eliminated.
Either the pump can be built in with the mixer unit of the shower and is fitted to the shower wall, a pump is installed between the mixer and the shower head or the pump is fitted between the water tank and the mixer. The final option is by far the most versatile and can be used with a number of different shower types.
