In my house I have a regular boiler (cold tank in loft and hot tank in airing cupboard). Back in 2019 I had my bathroom refurbished and as part of that I had a Stuart Turner Monsoon Universal 3.0 bar pump installed.

The two pipes on the right (coming out of the pump) are going up to the loft, across the loft and into my bathroom. It is doing a fantastic job of powering the shower and bath taps.

We are thinking of getting our two en-suites done. I assume the plumber would tee of these two pipes on the right and run new pipework for the two en-suite showers? Also I'm thinking well why not use the pump to power the whole house. On the left there is a Grundfos Alpha+ I assume if we used the Monsoon pump to pump the whole house it would replace the Grundfos?

Don't have a pump doing the whole house, you can't get a low flow rate without the annoying pump noise coming on everyone you turn anything on. Maybe your pump is well out if the way and not annoying

House we moved into had one, not a Stuart turner, I think it was a salamander pump. Loud and annoying and overheated probably due to restricted flow through 15mm pipes.

Swapped back to mavity for the house and a 2.4 bar Stuart turner for ensuite and another shower which was Tee'd to power both.
 
Yeah, don't try and dump 3 bar into the rest of your pipework.

We've got a 4.5 bar Stuart Turner pump for our shower & bath filler, it's excellent but it's not the quietest thing in the world. I wouldn't want it firing up each and every time someone turns on a tap or flushes the toilet.
