Hi All The loft conversion continues, another problem. Tiled floor is down, shower tray in and now need a toilet. Prob is the guys that fitted the soil pipe have left it at 190mm center and most toilets are 180mm, any ideas? Thanks

But I thought the digital is better given my set up? Of course they are 3 times more expensive!

Thanks chaps thermostatic or digital thermostatic?

Hi all Some of you may recall my conundrum trying to install a 3rd electric shower. Well to cut a long story short, I can't. My feed runs off the combi and the mains tank via a pump. I think a standard mixer shower may struggle to maintain tempreture given the hot feeds multiple outlets and...

That's a really good point, thanks.

Hi all Loft conversion, though I allowed 80mm clearance on the roof insulation (drilled a 80mm hole on the underside, another 80mm above to meet regs) the electrician got a bit excited with a Alan key / drill and channelled more out. Should I leave as is or fill with a non combustable mineral...

Just turning a couple of taps on?

No probs, no hot water storage tank, we have a cold loft tank which feeds all the cold water in the house bar the kitchen (which runs off the mains), we have a combi that supplies all the hot water to the house (42kw WB). We have a pump that feeds the 2 electric showers from the tank. This is so...

It fed by mains cold and combi hot. The cold can run through a pump like the 2 electric showers but I think that will effect the balance between hot and cold.

Thanks All I spoke to UK Power Networks to explore the option of a 3 phase supply. Around £20k plus extra's to run the new cable from the main outside which would allow to run the whole of London on my supply! So it looks like a thermostatic shower is the best option. All the cold water runs...

Thanks All I spoke to UK Power Networks yesterday to explore the option of a 3 phase supply. £8-15k plus extra's to run the new cable from the main outside. Also will need a new consumer unit and it has to be situated outside (currently under the stairs like most).So all in your talking circa...

Sorry how does that work. Surely you'd need zone valves and predict when you want a shower? Thanks

Hi All Stuck this on the plumbing website as I thought there would be an answer. My system runs cold for all outlets from the tank, including 2 electric showers via a Salamander pump. This means if you are having a shower or using one of the other cold outlets there is no loss of pressure. The...

Thanks All Quite frankly i'm none the wiser. I can't run a thermostatic shower, tried putting the hot water on in the kitchen and the pressure is 'pants' upstairs. As above you are trying to feed hot water to 3 bathrooms and a cloak room on 15mm. No matter what pressure or Kw combi it will not...

Outlet is 22mm radiator and 15mm hot water, there is only so much 15mm can do. . .
