A Vision of low cost retrofit plumbing solutions, water saving, and widespread low cost heat stores
WrightChoice micro-pumps include the number one UK pump, the ShowerPowerBooster. Trustpilot Our micropumps are designed to boost taps and showers in all systems including the incoming mains feed, Gravity Showers, Electric Showers, Combi Boilers, Unvented Systems, Radiators, and in homes with heat pumps. All this is possible because the pumps are designed to comfortably survive high pressures and temperatures plus the unique design of the product.
Micro-pumps can be used in applications far beyond just boosting showers, taps, radiators and possible applications include water and energy-saving systems which would revolutionise domestic decarbonisation. They offer solutions for homeowners, developers, energy assessors, and local authorities.

For energy transition to 100% renewables there is a need for affordable energy storage and to deliver that stored energy to replace fossil fuels. This website gives a detailed overview of the WrightChoice and WrightSolutions using patented technology to provide low cost heat stores and an affordable effective way of combining any heat store with any existing heating system.
The 2010 patented innovation gives the ability to replace 100% of the heat load from gas or oil with 100% stored energy provided that energy is stored.
Using my patented technology it is possible to provide low cost and effective heat stores in individual homes, hotels, and factories. Its versatility allows any existing heating system to be upgraded and improved with a particular focus on replacing fossil fuel boilers and improving the efficiency of Air Source Heat Pumps.
The patented Hot Water Tank Booster allows any manufacturer to build low cost simple heat stores.
Benefits To Customers
Storage of low cost off peak energy and surplus renewable energy at the flick of a switch.
Replacing up to 100% of gas for 8 months of the year.
Shift reliance on fossil fuels to surplus renewable electricity.
Benefits To The UK Government
Achieving grid balance without building more gas power stations or major upgrades to the National Grid.
Enabling Mass-Market Thermal Storage for Grid Flexibility
This is a fundamental advance in thermal storage efficiency that addresses a critical challenge in grid decarbonisation. By enabling practical, cost-effective residential heat storage at scale, this technology opens new possibilities for grid balancing and renewable energy integration. The combination of patented flow control technology and innovative manufacturing approaches creates a clear pathway to widespread adoption.
Technical Innovation
At the core of this opportunity is a science based approach to thermal stratification control. The technology maintains separation between stored and incoming water in hot water systems, significantly improving storage efficiency and enabling practical deployment at scale.
The innovation extends beyond the core technology to allow advances in tank design and manufacturing. Using rotational moulding techniques, large purpose-designed storage vessels for central heating can be produced at significantly lower cost than conventional alternatives. For potable hot water traditional copper and steel walled heat stores are proposed.
Market Application
This technology addresses the pressing need for residential heat storage solutions that work across the full spectrum of UK homes. It is equally effective for properties with combi boilers (70% of the market) and those with conventional heating systems, offering a clear path to mass-market deployment in the remaining 30% (including homes with air source heat pumps)
The system enables flexibility in heating load management, supporting the transition to a renewable-powered grid while reducing energy costs for consumers.
Development Status
Independent validation was completed at the University of East Anglia in 2025
– System efficiency and performance characteristics were proven.
– Integration requirements for different heating systems has been established
Partner Opportunity
We are seeking development partners with the capability to bring this technology to a mass market. The opportunity includes:
– Protected intellectual property with international potential
– Proven technical foundation
– Established manufacturing pathway
– Clear route to market validation
Next Steps
We wish have already established manufacturing capacity and sales through a licensing agreement.We are already selling direct to the public https://showerpowerbooster.co.uk/product/tank-flow-booster/
