How easy for a novice to plum in a new shower?

[DIYdavestephens]

Hi,

For a bit of a DIY novice, how easy is it to plumb in one of these deva shower panels.

My current shower set up is a shower head connected to the bath taps by rubber connectors. Not ideal!

Is there anything I should know? What tools would I need to complete the job?

Cheers
Dave

I doubt you have enough pressure to run something like that on your current system; minimum pressure required is 1.5 Bar but 2 Bar or more would be nearer the mark; it requires a pumped system.

Also, it’s not the sort of shower to fit over a bath, even with double doors you will probably end up with water everywhere, something like that really needs a proper shower enclosure.

Easy to install.
No experience or specialist tools are involved.
Cut the rubber tube leading from your existing taps to your shower head and connect to the back of the Diva panel. This can be fitted above the bath using nails and double sided stickytape.

Sorry, a proper answer is beyond my ability, but your brave question did make me laugh.
