I have a mixer tap with a shower head coming off of it. The cold tap is supplied directly from the mains and the hot tap is fed from a cylinder boiler (which is fed from a tank in the loft).
The cold tap is very powerful but the hot very weak. This means that there is hardly any flow when using the shower head. I understand that I will need a single impeller shower pump to boost the hot tap - but which type do I need and how powerful should it be?

the hot water pump should have an out put equal or greater than your cold water pressure,
IE, if the cold water is comming in at 60 lb,s then the pump should be rated at 70 to 80 lbs output.
plus you should put a check valve in the hot water line [after the pump,] also, to keep the cold water from entering the hot water side.
