Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction with a quick query?
We have got a largish (better part of 40 foot at a guess) eucalyptus to cut down in the coming few weeks. It's the second one at the house and I've done a bit of tree felling before so am not worried about that part of...
I can't tell you a flowrate but we have got a very similar set-up (with an older model Mira Excel and about the same head of water, both hot and cold through 22mm pipes) and it's, well, okay. Not brilliant but not really duff either. About the same as we used to get out of a 8kW electric...
I have recently moved house and have got a bathroom with bath but no shower, and a separate shower room.
To avoid queues and arguments, I am thinking about putting in a shower over the bath.
The feeds in the bathroom are gravity hot and (as far as I'm aware) mains water cold.
The...
We had same problem in our old house after having bathroom refitted.
We sold the house...
(Sorry, I know this isn't particularly helpful but shows that even with installations by "allegedly" professional people you can still end up with a poor result).
Success!
Changed the inlet filters and shower is vastly (and I mean vastly) improved.
Bit concerned that the isolation valves on both the hot and cold water feeds to the shower didn't isolate properly but at least I can get clean now.

Hose is not perished and has got a decent sized bore (well, 10mm or so, not 5-6mm like some I've seen in shops, as you say.)...
Many questions, answers in order:
shower pressure / flow is still dreadful when showerhead is reduced to tap height and pressure on the taps is fine
have taken off showerhead and no blockage (water flow out of hose still dreadful with head off)
not checked where shower is fed from...
I work in the energy industry, recently moved to a house off the gas grid and am on rom a long term price point of view I'd guess oil will be cheaper than LPG... With mains gas prices as they were 3 months ago, the first fill up on my oil tank (about 870 litres) was actually cheaper per kWh...
We had identical problem when we had our bathroom fitted and the man (can't bear to call him a plumber) fitted quarter turn ceramic disk taps to a gravity fed system with about 4 feet of head.
1930s taps = fine
2000s taps = useless flow on hot alone, excellent flow on cold (mains...
Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me with a query regarding my shower.
We moved into a 1970s house a couple of months ago. There is an upstairs shower room, with a Mira shower fed from the hot water cylinder. I\\\'m led to believe the shower dates back to the late 90s. The header tank in...
