It is specifically designed for negative head installations, meaning the water level in the cold storage tank sits at or below the level of the shower outlet - a common situation in older Irish homes with a standard cold tank in the attic feeding a hot water cylinder. It is not compatible with combination boilers or unvented pressurised systems. Twin impeller regenerative design: The STN boosts both the hot and cold water feeds simultaneously using two separate impellers, delivering a balanced and consistent flow to the showerhead. The regenerative impeller design gives it a natural ability to handle air pockets in the pipework, which can otherwise cause pump noise or flow interruption with centrifugal types. At 3.0 bar and a maximum flow of 52 litres per minute, it is well suited to supplying a single power shower or multiple outlets around a bathroom. Brass construction and build quality: The pump housing and impellers are machined brass throughout, which provides greater durability and corrosion resistance compared to plastic-bodied alternatives. Silicon carbide shaft seals are fitted as standard to extend service life and reduce wear. Anti-vibration feet are incorporated into the base to minimise transmitted noise and movement during operation, keeping the rated noise level to 55 dB. Safety, approvals, and motor protection: The STN carries WRAS approval (UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme), confirming it meets full mechanical and water quality standards for use in systems supplying consumable water. The motor includes built-in thermal protection that stops it automatically in the event of overheating, protecting the pump from damage in the event of a dry run or restricted flow. The enclosure is rated IPX2, providing protection against dripping water. Shop the All Showers range from Heavins.ie, with delivery available across Ireland.
