    yeah that's the step up i was thinking of going with (y) I'm just hopping it will provide a decent shower without it changing temp to much. Shame about the Legionella. I just have to risk it :)

    Exposed copper pipe shower?? old industrial tapes??

    Im sure the reg is for everywhere but doesn't the problem only arise when a hot water supply is very rarely used and left standing. What i mean is its isn't lightly to actually cause me a problem when using the shower daily

    Exposed copper pipe shower?? old industrial tapes??

    hmmmm it would be about 3 meter from the outlet. It might break some regs but will be used everyday so I hope it wouldn't be a problem? Isnt that to protect against legionella in like big buildings which have maybe a disabled toilet that very rarely get used?

    Digging a massive hole with a micro digger?

    I thought the same to be honest. Although i recon it probably does a fairly good job. Its 100% waterproof and the concrete should stop a lot of water and oxygen getting to it so if it does rust it will be very slow. It does the dmp shutting all in one go. I cant help but think there would be...

    Does it matter if grout lines are to thin?

    Thanks for the help. It was really easy to work so i might dremel the tighter ones out abit in the wet areas. Abit of a pain in the arse as theres under floor heating and tanking to worry about but should be doable.
