inline extractor fan

[davebwithane]

Hello

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SLTD160T.html

We bought the fan above and had it installed by a third party. The room we bought it for is approx 2m x 2m x 2m. It is installed in our loft and the duct stretches over a maximum of 3.5 metres. Our bathroom has quite a powerful shower which is connected to a pump for performance purposes. When we are finished in the shower the walls of the bathroom are completely soaked with water and it feels like the fan is not doing it's job. We were not expecting the walls to be wet at all, which is the reason we bought such a powerful extractor fan. Any ideas on how we could improve the situation please ?

Thanks for any help provided
Dave

Could be a blocked/crushed ducting, or unsuitable siting of the extract vent. Extractors are really an electricians department though, this is a plumbing forum

Sounds like you may have a problem with the installation, I'd call whoever did it back. I have a similar sized en-suite with a drencher head running on a 2.5 bar pump. We have a 21 l/sec Icon Airflow fitted ducted 1m to an outside wall. It works perfectly, no wet walls & no trace of steam in the room within a couple of minutes;
