WPB vs Shower Pumps: The Smarter Choice for Better Water Pressure

WPB vs Shower Pumps: The Smarter Choice for Better Water Pressure

When it comes to improving water pressure in the home, most people immediately think of a shower pump. But while shower pumps can help in certain situations, they only solve part of the problem. That’s where our Water Pressure Booster (WPB) system steps in.

Unlike a shower pump, the WPB boosts pressure and flow across the entire property—not just a single bathroom—delivering a reliable, future-proof solution for modern households and installers alike.


Why Customers Choose WPB Over a Shower Pump

Whole-house solution – Enjoy strong, consistent pressure at every tap, shower, and appliance—not just the shower.

Future-proof design – Perfect for modern, water-hungry fixtures like rainfall showers, smart toilets, and multiple bathrooms.

Quiet & efficient – Runs with less noise than most shower pumps, and costs around £20 a year to operate.

Built-in reliability – Protected against running dry, avoiding one of the most common causes of shower pump failure.

Constant performance – Maintains up to 4.5 bar and 125 LPM, even when multiple outlets are in use.

Safety & compliance as standard – The WPB includes a Cat 5 AB air gap, protecting the mains supply and keeping your water safe.


Why Installers Prefer WPB Over a Shower Pump

Simpler installation – A plug-and-play system that avoids cutting into multiple feeds.

No separate tank required – Removes the need for loft tanks or extra pipework.

All-in-one design – Compact footprint, neat installation, and fewer call-backs.

Regulation-ready – Already meets Cat 5 requirements, so no extra kit or upselling needed.

Versatile application – Suitable for both domestic and light commercial jobs, meaning one product fits many scenarios.

Better business opportunity – Stronger margins than shower pumps and a chance to open a bigger conversation with customers who want more than “just another shower pump.”


The Bottom Line

Shower pumps can be a quick fix for a single bathroom, but they don’t address the bigger picture. The WPB is designed to deliver whole-house performance, long-term reliability, and easy installation, making it a smarter investment for both homeowners and installers.
