Actual comparative tests under laboratory conditions confirm that Stuart Turner manufactures the quietest peripheral (regenerative) shower pump available.
EPDM/PTFE/Aluminium Oxide Seals
PTFE and Aluminium Oxide seal materials provide the most reliable sealing solution available, reducing risk of pump leakage and resulting water damage to the home while the use of PTFE (Teflon) also reduces the chances of the seal sticking when a pump is not used for periods of time.
Continuously Rated Motor
Continuously rated shower pumps effectively run until the user turns it off. This is particularly good in a family home where the shower needs to be used frequently throughout the morning or evening. A pump that isn’t continuously rated will turn itself off to allow the pump to cool, potentially causing issues with water pressure to the shower.
Twin pumps are designed using the highest standard of technology to boost your water pressure of both hot and cold water supply to a single shower, bath, shower mixer or mixer tap. Put a stop to low water pressure with this pump. It is perfect for transforming your unsatisfactory shower into a powerful and invigorating shower that you'll never want to leave.
Positive Head
A positive head shower pump is designed to be gravity fed, therefore it needs a 'head' of distance (at least a metre) between the pump and the bottom of the cold water cistern. The gravity feed 'kick-starts' the pump, pushing water straight through to your shower.
Dry Run Protection
Dry run protection is really important for the wellbeing of your shower pump. Bearings and other internal parts may get seriously damaged if there is a blockage or a drop in pressure causing the pump to run dry.
Flow Switch Sensitivity
An automatic flow switch is crucial to have the shower running when it needs to be. When flow exceeds 0.8 litres per minute the pump automatically starts, delivering that powerful flow that it’s there for.
Brass Construction
Built to perfection, this shower pump features durable and robust brass construction. This ensures that your shower pump is running as smoothly as possible, even after many years of use, making you a very happy customer indeed.
WRAS Approved for quality
If you’re buying any sort of water fitting or product then it’s important that its WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved. It’s the best way to work out if that particular product or part complies with the UK requirements for installation within the UK.
5-year guarantee
High-quality parts and precision engineering put these products together and we want you to be confident of that, so to put your mind at ease we cover you with a 5-year long guarantee.
Flexible hoses included
This shower pump comes complete with four flexible hoses, which are used to link your shower pump to both incoming and outgoing water pipes. These flexible hoses are anti-vibration which means the hoses are less prone to vibration from the pump, helping to reduce noise and prevent damage to the pump itself.

Quality
Every pump is manufactured from only the highest quality components and raw materials.
Each individual pump is fully tested before leaving the factory.
After looking at various pumps to replace a 30 year old used every day mira pump this one looked a decent replacement for what we wanted.
The build quality of this pump is good, having brass fittings seems like a good move for pump longevity. The pump came with flexible 22mm push hose fittings, useful but we did not need these. Maybe the pump is a little more expensive than some with plastic impeller housings but now the pump is fitted and hoping the pump will last several years the price is Ok.
The pump when in use is quite quiet, a lot quieter than our old pump, the noise level is very acceptable. I suspect that an antivibration mat would be a waste of time and money.
We used slightly longer flexible hose fittings than those supplied that maybe helped a bit to isolate noise due to pump vibration.
The power cable fitted was a bit too short for our installation and it was an easy job to replace the supplied cable with a longer one.
It does not take a lot of water flow for the pump to turn on which is good.
Water pressure for a single shower is a good compromise between enough pressure and not running the hot water out too quickly because we have a fairly small hot water tank.
We have had this pump for a couple of months now, given that we do not know longer term reliability, starting again would I buy this pump again yes I would.

I purchased an ST Monsoon 2 bar to replace a cheap pump that had failed after shortly over a year - I thought it would be fine as it was only having to work one shower but was wrong. Having been let down I went for this as a friend recommended Stuart Turner pumps as being very good quality. This is over-spec for what I need but I wanted to go for something that could handle the current set up but also any additions in the future.
It has been in for around 3 weeks and it is light years better than the other one. The noise is massively reduced, and I mean massively. All pumps make some noise but this is really quiet by comparison. The pressure is absolutely fine for what I need and produces a good strong shower.
If you are unsure about whether to get something like this or a cheaper alternative i would really recommend going with this. There is no substitute for quality and you will just end paying more in the end as I have done if you go for a cheap option.
Delivery from Plumbworld was great, lots of good communication and it arrived when they said it would in good condition.

This is the first water pump I have purchased on recommendation from my bathroom installer. I needed a pump to boost the power to my new showers.
First impressions were that the delivery service was exceptionally fast and the item was well packaged.
The quality of the product was excellent and once fitted worked as expected by my bathroom installer.
The price was very competitive which is a huge positive.
I have never had a water pump for boosting shower output in my house before so did not know what to expect in terms of noise. To be honest the pump does create a different noise in my airing cupboard which I hadnt anticipated.
Im sure the noise will blend into the background once I get used to it.
My new bathroom refurbishment is fantastic and without the water pump I can now appreciate that my existing water pressure would not have provided the showering experience I wanted.
I would definitely recommend Plumbworlds water pumps.

I purchased the Stuart Turner Monsoon 2 bar pump which was replacing a similar Watermill pump . I say similarbut the only similarity between the two pumps I can think of is that they both run off electricity! The new pump is in an absolutely different league.... Admittedly its over double the price of the old one but its so better quality which results in it being much quieter than the previous pump. You could hear throughout the house whenever someone used the shower before but now you dont hear a thing! I had to reroute a bit of pipework to fit the Monsoon as the (not so flexible but amazing quality) flexible hoses that come with it were a different length to my previous ones but all so worth it to get this pump installed.... The 2 bar pump runs a single shower and is plenty powerful enough....Plus a 5 year warranty! If you are thinking of getting a new pump stop umming and arring and buy a Monsoon..... You wont regret it.

I purchased a Stuart Turner 2.0 Bar Monsoon Pump 10 years ago. It was not until recently I had some issues with the water flow detector switch going intermittent that I had to replace it (some of this may have also been down to limescale but spares didn't seem to be available anymore). The motor itself was still going strong. The replacement choice was a no brainer really as the previous one was so reliable and Plumbworld had the best price. The new model is very similar with a different control board mounting but otherwise looks much the same. When its running the new model is much quieter. Here's hoping for another 10 years !. I would fully recommend this as 2.0 Bar gives loads of pressure.

A very straight forward ordering process followed by the quick delivery of a very well protected item made this a very good buying experience at a very competitive price.
The Stuart Turner Monsoon 46415, 2 Bar, twin impeller shower pump is a very substantial, well made item and has excellent performance giving a very satisfactory shower from a low pressure system.

Although not entirely ready to buy a new pump, I had my hand forced when mine broke. After searching online plumbworld got my attention with your amazing pumps, excellent quality and good value. After purchasing I had it installed and I'm very happy, it's so powerful and quiet, my last pump was 25years old and very noisy! Thank you Plumbworld.

I was looking to replace my old shower pump and read the reviews online for this model, it was slightly more expensive than my previous pump but the extra cost was well worth it. This pump is much quieter and more efficient than the old one and in my opinion is money well spent.

Brilliant pump compared to old one. We had a Salamander pump which was a lot more noisy than this Stuart Turner one. Plumber fitted it with no problem. Plumbworld ws the best price by far and ordering ver straightforward. I will certainly use them again.

Bought to replace a broken Salamander pump. The Turner pump is much quieter and yet feels much more powerful - a proper upgrade. As an aside, the delivery from Plumbworld was very, very prompt and at an excellent price - was very impressed.

My Monsoon shower pump arrived and is working well. The purchasing procedure was extremely easy and it arrived one day EARLIER than ordered. It is much quieter than my previous one that gave up with two leaks after 12 years.

Fitted this as a replacement for an excessively noisy Salamander pump (that had expired anyway)
Smaller, much quieter, all metal fittings and the same great power delivery. Well worth the £40 more. And delivered was swift!
