I need to buy a negative head shower pump & I've gone from replacing the bath with a shower etc.

The shower I've bought is the following spec:

Temperature Control
Thermostatic

Plumbing System Compatibility
Low and high pressure

Inlet Connection
3/4" BSP

Water Entry Points
Rising, falling, back

Outlet Connection
Top 3/4" BSP

Minimum Running Pressure/Flow
0.1 Bar @ 8l/min

Maximum Running Pressure
5 Bar

Maximum Static Pressure
10 Bar

Open Outlet Flowrate @ 0.1 Bar
5.9l/min

Built-In Depth
65mm minimum

Flow Limiters Supplied
12l/min max flow


I want to have a good pressure but I dont want it to empty my hot water tank in 2 mins! I was thinking around 2 bar? Would that be Ok?

Cheers

3bar would be a powerful shower. 1.5bar a okay shower. So 2bar is a good place to be at.
