How much is the distance between the shower head and the Cold water storage tank? I assume that you have used cold mains pressure do you know how much pressure there is on the cold? What pressure pump did you buy?

Hans Grohe generally need quiet high pressures just to work and that a rain style shower head and you probably need 3.0bar rain heads cover larger diameters therefore you do not get high pressure but you do use a large quantity of water. With the valve you will get a min spec for pressure...

As the other posters say you will not get a good shower from gravity feed especially the way shower valves are manufactured nowadays, I would either pump it or use a power shower like these little cheapies http://www.tapstore.com/acatalog/New_Team_power_showers.html Bristan do make a shower...

If you have the two sinks and the bath on the same waste pipe you could get glugging at one of the sinks when letting out the bath water, if its easy enough then seperate them. P.s I do not know where you can buy green waste pipe from you should maybe use Grey :)

I see what you mean, Who has the waste going out at that angle, the over flow pipe on a standard bath overflow is not that generous in length, so they have connivently double kinked the copper pipes down from the mixer, and what flexi cons recommend being bent like they have in the image pre the...

I have been emailed the details on this before I think it is a good idea, but just do not think there will be many retail sales. I will get my web guys to see if there are lots of people searching for a simlar device if there is the demand I will sell it. It all helps to feed the kids fish...

Norcon, I have not heard of the Nova flow either I will look into that one. Secco, I do not think that £123.00 is too expensive for the Aqua check either I will get one of the buyers to look into getting some in to stock.

seco, They do look good a lot more to them that the sure stop, Do you know how much they are as no one is marketing them online, I might put them on one of my websites for sale if they are reasonably priced. I like the if the water is not used in 24hrs it will shut down feature, and the fact...

Well done mate spot on, I can tell you have not pickled your brain as much as me :)

I fitted a device that is a switch operated by air that turns the water on and off I think it was called water stop but cannot remember the exact name, that worked well bit like a light switch to operate the main stopcock. Easy to use and consumer freindly.

http://www.tapstore.com/acatalog/copy_of__SL3_Exposed_Shower_Valve.html The valve in the link the inlets can be turned to come down the wall up the wall or from the back, all bar shower valves can be surface mounted As Secco says, you do need a surface mounting kit which comprises of 2 chrome...

I assume as you say your plumber offered you the option of fitting a tank that you have a combination boiler for your hot water supplies is that correct?

You are gravity fed both sides of the valve therefore you should have the same flow/pressure give or take a tad hot and cold, removing the non return valves will not suddenly give you cold flow if you are getting hot you should have cold. if any thing you will get a slightly better cold flow as...

Who ever told you the opposite was a tw*t :lol: Some salamander pumps are noisy likewise some techflow pumps are noisy you see its down to two things mainly pipe size 15mm pumps are noisy and regenerative pumps are noisy. Standard Stuart Turner shower pumps are all regenerative and...

If yo have access to the pipe work behind then it should not be a problem, at present there is a standard import (italian/Chinese) manual valve that most manufacturers are using which has 60 - 65mm between two female 1/2" bsp connections facing right and left also there is the 150mm centers...

No you can not compare those shower valves, the one on ebay is making big claims saying it is okay for combi boilers but no plumber worth his salt would fit a manual valve on a combi system. I would not get one from b&q as they are now not main brands as they now import. You have to fit a...

I had hade a look at Met uk web site 26 week course nearly 7 grand including the tools, it seem a bit of a sales company to me. To have good training you need experience the best way is to work and train to put people on a couple of days work with a plumber or heating engineer and give them a...

If the shower valve is a manual use a pump with a centrifugal impellor and a bypass loop fitted http://www.tapstore.com/acatalog/QT80BP_Whole_House_Pump_2_30bar.html that is the quietest on the market. You can use screwfix one if it is a thermostatic shower valve but they are not designed for...
