My review of the Jetstream Venturi Shower

[chrishutt]

Interesting info. Are you saying that you're running it solely off the hot supply with the temp down rated to showering temperature, or are you still mixing cold in at the shower?

The installer said "just try it", so I didn't make any changes. Cold is still coming through the venturi nozzle, however it is now at a lower pressure, as the installer fitted a pressure reducing valve near the water meter (all cold taps in our house are on mains, so the whole system feels better balanced now). I think the amount of hot in the mix is now much greater than cold, however it is still possible to vary the showering temp by a certain amount, by using the control on the Jetstream.

Why no Venturi shower with a combi?

 

[Rog200455]

Says in the manufacturer's literature "not suitable for combi boiler systems" (they are designed for low pressure hot suply)

 

[Vinno]

Yes but why do the MI's say no combi's. Is it that the venturi would pull the water thru the combi too fast?

 

[Rog200455]

I did wonder about that, however we have had a few showers now and no shutdowns. Boiler can supply 12 l/min and I don't think we are exceeding that.

Wheres Softy or Agileus when you need them?

The Trevi Boost is still in their product range and is highly recommended. They work brilliantly and look a damn site better than the Newteam lump.
