If you unscrew/undo the rose on the shower(the part that the water actually comes out of), there may be a rubbery bit with holes in that you can rinse under a tap. As you bend the rubber the limescale sort of cracks and falls off. If not at least you can poke through the holes in the rose and...
Very helpful thanks.
The airing cupboard is across on the other side of the landing to the bathroom, adjoining bedroom, so no problems like that.
So presume wall socket ok. 3 pin plugs would make it easy to replace pumps if necessary. But will install fused spur if thought best practice...
Hi Everyone,
I have plumbed a power shower pump into my airing cupboard :D and now intend wiring it up. It has been suggested to me that I take a spur from a nearby socket to a switched, wall mounted socket and use a 13 amp fused plug. :lol:
However, another source :( has said that I...
I plumbed it in without the fitting and the pump works fine without it, :D switching on when I turn the water on and off correspondingly. Unless someone put in 2 flowswitches it's not that. On the circuit board is a reed switch, a resistor and a transistor. :?:
1. put the other kid in first and then the one that likes to soak a bit will run out and save you a lot of money.
2. The feed pipes should come directly from the tank (hot and cold)
3. Does your hot tank take hot water directly from the boiler or indirectly through an internal coil from the...
If it is a flowswitch, where do the wires go? presumably one from the live and the other to the pump but how is it arranged? Is there a special connection box to arrange this? :?:
I have a curious fitting on one of the outlet pipes of my power shower. It has no brand name, makers name or any kind of identifying features on it except a flow direction. It is a 15mm plastic tube through which the water flows and inside the tube there is a tiny metal torpedo shaped object...
I just tile straight on to the old tiles or the plaster.
Put the new tray on to a piece of 3/4inch marine ply and bed it in with a weak mix of cement, say 2 or 3 to one :wink:
Please see forum rule 17
Hi.
I'm just about to install a pump for a power shower. I've bought a York flange which together with the 3/4 inch to 22mm compression adaptor cost about £40. You drain the hot tank, then unscrew the fitting in the top. The York flange fits in it's place and then the original fitting goes...
Many thanks for those points, ChrisR :) At least it seems it will work without too much bother. Loo and handbasins cold are already on mains so won't be affected. Might take risk :!: of someone turning hot handbasin on mid shower. It'll save a huge amount of dismantling and new pipework etc...
I'd like to connect a power pump to the entire pipework of 2 bathrooms. I propose to cut into the bathroom's hot supply and blank off their feed, then replace that feed with a supply from a flange in the hot tank through the pump to the bathroom.pipes. Similar for cold. Is this possible? If so...
I could be wrong but I think you can put one in yourself as long as you comply with the rules and have it checked before using it by either the council or a suitably qualified electrician. Wwhoever it is issues you with a certificate.
I phoned up my council and explained that I intend to put...
