A positive head system requires the cold water storage tank to be positioned at least 600mm above the pump inlet.

The weight of water above the pump creates a positive pressure that triggers the pump to start automatically when a tap or shower is opened. Most traditional UK homes with a cold water tank in the loft have a positive head system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a single-ended and twin-ended pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single-ended pump boosts only one water supply — either hot or cold. A twin-ended pump boosts both hot and cold simultaneously, which is essential for thermostatic shower valves that require balanced pressure on both inlets. The ORA 2.0 is twin-ended and is the correct choice for most thermostatic showers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this pump for more than one shower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ORA 2.0 is rated for a single shower outlet.
