triton shower

[steviebabe]

had triton engineer out cos my new shower wasnt working properley .he said the pressure is not good enough,its working ok now but i want to know whats the worst thing that can happen .ie will it keep cutting out or just run slower

The low pressure safety cutout will cut in, ready for a cold shower half way through?

Think they need about 1.25Bar working pressure.

 

[steviebabe]

pressure coming into property is 1.4 is that too weak

 

[Gasguru]

Tee in a pressure gauge to the shower feed pipe - see what the pressure drops to when using the shower.

 

[steviebabe]

will do what showers would you reccomend for low pressure

 

[Gasguru]

Read the installation guides they will tell you the minimum working pressures at a particular flowrate.

Alternatively if you can fit a suitable cold tank, electric showers are available with a pump built in.

The higher the Kw rating the greater the working pressure needed as a general rule.

1.25 WP should just about be enough for a 9-10 Kw hopefully.
