The fitting manufacturers will have data sheets which will give the required distances.

Don't think I've ever changed the washer on a fluidmaster fill valve. Not worth the faff as the replacement valves are cheap. For future reference and hopefully won't be too frustrating given what you've been through, but these fill valves can be changed without draining the cistern. Turn water...

To stop people dying from cholera or a host of other water borne diseases.

The PRD is on the outlet. When you reduce the flow rate before the PRD as you do when turning down the flow control, there will be little or no change to the pressure acting on the PRD. A blocked or restrictive shower head is slowing the flow after all the internal components including the PRD...

Its just the disc seal that needs replacing. Can't imagine there is much of a demand for second hand shower heads however great the reviews are but go for it. Triton showers are ok but they are the cheaper end of the market and you get what you pay for. I fit lots in rented properties and really...

No need for washers. Use enough PTFE tape on the thread so that it is tight as it screws in. Stop when the tap is vertical just before it runs out of thread. If it screws in too easily, remove and add a few more turns of tape.

Honeywell quality isn't what it used to be but probably still better than the rest.

Possibly slightly mis-aligned. slacken off all the other joints in the vicinity then make sure the suspect joint is properly aligned and tighten that first. Firm hand tight should be enough. Tighten all other joints and test.

Replace the PRD. You can get one from Triton or showerdoc.com or other places. Throw the filter shower head in the bin. Make sure the original shower head is descaled and put it back on. Triton showers aren't great to be honest but its not their fault if you fit an aftermarket part that isn't...

But is the tap still upside down?

It won't be a left hand thread so should just screw back in. If it won't, just replace the tap. That ones upside down anyway. Looks like that tap has check valves incorporated so get one the same. Less than a tenner from Screwfix.

Think you're going to have to change the whole valve.

That valve not available but it looks like toiletspares.co.uk can supply a replacement with a 50mm push button. https://www.toiletspares.co.uk/replacement-rapide-flush-valve-with-round-button.html

Is that flexi pan connector set in the concrete slab? Major **** up. Got to come out really. You say "they" used the pan connector so at least its not your fault. Building control certainly won't be happy with it.

I think the PRD on Tritons come off the outlet so they only tend to drip when the shower is running and less will drip if the shower head is less restricted which the OP indicated happened when the original shower head was put back on.

On the ones I've seen, the holes in the shower head are very small and give the impression of good flow but its a smaller amount of water moving faster. I've also been to few where they have caused problems. Don't forget that the people selling these things are just buying stuff from AliBaba or...

If it was one of those shower heads with the little beads in the handle, they are very restrictive and will have broken the PRD diaphragm. Spares are available from showerdoc.com

The heat from the condenser must be going somewhere. If its not vented to outside, it must be going into a heat sink. They probably use mains water and dump the warmed water down the drain.

A close coupled toilet with a bottom outlet pan may be an option. Twyford Alcona I think is one but others may be available. Would need to check dimensions but a small amount of flexibility given by using offset pan connector.
