Stuart Turner Showermate Standard Twin Shower Pump – 1.5 bar (Positive Head)
If your shower or bath is suffering from low flow, the Showermate Standard 1.5 bar Twin offers a great balance between boost and cost. It’s a regenerative pump for positive head / gravity-fed systems, improving both hot & cold supplies to deliver stable pressure & flow.
Why this pump stands out
- 1.5 bar boost – perfect where 2.0 bar is over-kill, or you have low-flow gravity supply.
- Positive head only – works if there’s already some natural flow present (≥ ~1 L/min).
- 15 mm anti-vibration hoses & feeds included for quieter performance.
- Continuously rated motor so it can run reliably under regular usage.
- Quiet operation (~57 dB) – built-in design reduces vibration and noise.
- 3-year manufacturer’s warranty included (T&Cs apply).
Key features
- Pump type: Regenerative / Peripheral; heads: Twin
- Flow switch sensitivity: ~0.8 L/min to start
- Application: Positive head only (open-vented / gravity-fed systems)
- Connections: 4 × 15 mm anti-vibration flexi hoses (with isolating valves on inlets)
- Typical uses: Boost one shower, or several outlets within one bathroom

Is this pump right for you?
Choose this pump if you already have a natural flow at the outlet(s) (gravity tank feeding) and want a cost-efficient pressure boost. If outlets only trickle or nothing flows without a pump, then a Universal (negative head) model would be more appropriate.
Need help choosing or fitting?
We install and set up shower pumps across Ireland. We’ll assess whether a positive-head model works for your setup or if you need something different.

What’s in the box
- Showermate Standard 1.5 bar Twin shower pump
- 4 × 15 mm anti-vibration flexi hoses (with isolators on inlets)
- Fittings & documentation
Installation notes
- Mount on a solid base, close to the hot water cylinder/cold feed where possible.
- Use full-bore isolation valves; keep suction runs short and pipework straight.
- Ensure the pump is wired by a qualified electrician, meeting local safety standards.
- If outlets do not run unaided, consider a Universal (negative head) model instead.
Need a different option?
For very low incoming flow to multiple outlets, or whole-house pressure boosting, ask about Monsoon pump models or a break-tank booster system for more power and stability.
