To pump or not to pump....
Help, please! I have aquired a Showermate single impeller pump which I intend fitting to the hot water feed to the kitchen sink. (We are in a bungalow, so the pressure to the hot tap is very poor). I have just read the blurb on the pump website and it says not recommended for use if:
"Supply of pumped hot water service to a common mixer valve where the cold supply is mains fed."
Can I get around this problem by fitting a non-return valve just after the pump and before the sink mixer tap? I'm presuming there's a danger of the cold pressure forcing it's way back down the hot feed/pump??
Any advice would be greatly received - thanks!

Hiya, welcome to the diy forums...

These questions you about your pump, have you asked the suppliers or the manufacturer yet?

Got a link to the manufacturers website and/or the pump itself?
