Hi I'm looking for some advice regarding our Bristan 1901 shower. It has been fine for a few years but now runs cool, running the cold tap in the bathroom improves things. (the sink and shower share a feed at the point of entry into the bathroom). A plumber has looked at it and replaced a couple of parts to no avail. He has now spent lots of time with the manufacturers trying to work out what the problem is. He tells me that this model of shower should be fitted with non=return valves.
My questions are 1. does this sounds sensible/ is this true for this shower/
2. Does it matter where those valves are. He says he needs to chase the pipes out as they run up the wall behind the tiles. Could they not be fitted further away from the shower. For example, where they come out of the floor behind the sink pedistal or under the bath before they go into the wall.
Many thanks
Matt
