Re: OT: Shower Pumps

["Jeremy Aston" <jeremyaston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

Dunno the complete ins and outs of the details - I leave that to my
father in law who is a plumber - but we have always had a shower pump
in our houses and really have appreciated it.  I was simply going to
recommend taking a look at your local Plumb Centre as prices tend to
be pretty competitive when compared to a bathroom centre or DIY
superstore.  My local one in Littlehampton got to know us really well
during our extension work and ending up doing all sorts of discounts,
deals and favours.

Cheers
