Would the hot water supply significantly 'leak' through into the cold water (or visa versa) if I removed the inlet non-return valves in the new Hudson Reed shower? I suspect that if I could remove the non-return valves then the flow would be much better, no matter what other problems might...

Aaarrgh... Dear all, I thought things were ok but after the other shower downstairs is turned off and everything left for say 10mins, then I still don't get any flow either hot or cold through the new Hudson Reed (HR) shower valve upstairs (no shower head on). In detail; if I turn the pump...

I phoned Stuart Turner and they said there are none fitted to the positive pressure monsoon pump. So it looks like there are only the ones fitted to the mixer (1 hot, 1 cold). Trying again tonight with the new mixer turned to cold and with the other shower running, it then worked fine...

I've been asking around and have just had the suggestion from Hudson Reed was that there could be this kind of problem if there are 2 non-return valves, e.g. one on the pump and one in the shower valve (the Hudson Reed diagram clearly shows it). Apparently its quite easy to have it so that the...

There are isolator valves on the 22mm pipework for both hot and cold but they are upstream from the pump and therefore isolate the old and new shower supply. I'm hoping the rather nice and 'just finished' tiles don't have to be disturbed... Thanks again for your quick response, I will see...

Hi, Just checked that and it seems pretty good, though of course being downstairs it has a decent head. Just to be clear I tried it with pump off and only cold water on, with shower valve set to <20oC. I tried the new shower too with pump off and only cold water on, with shower valve set to...

Dear all, I've just had a new Hudson Reed (thermostatic, twin controls) shower installed with new tank, pipework and a 3bar stuart turner pump (twin). Its set up to power the other shower downstairs too. The problem is that the new shower sometimes doesn't have sufficient flow- through to...
