Thanks for the info. So, is she out of options? Is her only option a proper power shower? :(

Excuse the stupid question, but what do you mean by a better performance? What my friend needs is more power to get through the dog hair for rinsing soap away. Would a larger wattage help with that do you think?

Thanks guys! I've checked this one is 8.5kw. I'm not sure how increasing the rating kw will increase the pressure though?

Hi all My mate owns a dog grooming salon (not a good start I know!) She's got an electric shower (Creda aquablue) plumbed into the mains for washing the dogs. The problem is that the pressure isn't really good enough to wash the big dogs with thick hair. Is there any way of improving...

I'm off out in a mo, so I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks very much seco! :D

Thanks seco. I don't think there are any isolation taps/valves. I thought of trying to switch them off and on but couldn't find any. He's just simply taken the old mixer off and put the new one on. Could I loosen the nut that's showing just enough to let the air out, like bleeding a...

We had it fitted last week. I didn't want to say anything bad about plumbers, but we've been trying to ring the guy who did it but he's not answering his phone... :roll: I'm reasonably handy so I was thinking it might be easier if there was something I could do.

There's no pump. I've checked all the other hots and colds around the house and they're fine.

HI everyone! I've got a mixer shower (like a horizontal bar). No matter what I do with the temperature control I only get hot water coming through, and that's pretty slow on its own. Someone suggested I turn off the water to see if that makes a difference, but it didn't - so I think the...

I think I've got airlock in my mixer shower. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? (I'm only getting hot water coming through.) :( Thanks.

I'm not sure this wall is actually plasterboard, it just looks like what I'd call plasterboard. It is a bit odd because of the card behind it. As suggested, I tried knocking some copper pipe up through the cardboard, but there was a plastic bracket there which was hiding an electrical cable...

Believe me Tony, I know plumbers are skilled workers. There's more to plumbing than joining pipes together like lego. I think their reputation is going up anyway, since they're able to charge decent prices for sticking their heads down other people's toilets!

Thanks for your advice. I'll have another go tomorrow. :D

Are you saying I can't fit a shower to a plasterboard wall? It's tiled, so I'm sure it should be strong enough. Do you know how to run the pipes behind the plasterboard, when it's got dozens of sheets of cardboard running across?

I'm a DIY'er so please be gentle with me. Plasterboard question... 1) I thought I was going to fit my mixer shower today. I took the hot and cold pipes from the sink and intended to run them under the shower tray and up behind the plasterboard wall. When I put a hole in the plasterboard...
