With more than 100 years engineering experience, water boosting solutions provider Stuart Turner is paving the way with solutions for a range of applications. Stuart Turner’s shower pumps are designed to boost both hot and cold water on open vented systems, while its brass monsoon range can be installed into vented systems to pump supplies of both hot and cold water, boosting both equally. Monsoon universal pumps do not require a gravity flow of water to start and are ideal for pressurising the supply in applications where outlets are higher than the water source, such as a loft conversion. Customers can be assured that monsoon products are Wras approved and come with a five-year warranty with product registration required.
