Hi guy,
I have a steam/shower room of an ebay special variety (don't have a go, I have it now!) and it has 4 flexible pipes to connect to the water:
One hot and one cold that supply the shower/bath etc.
Two pipes that lead UNMARKED to what looks like a 'T' connector on the inlet to the steam generator.
My problem is this, the instructions just say 'connect the 4 water inlet pipes' BUT, I started to wonder why a steam generator which needs a litte bit of water needs 2 supplied and why these supplies are in a T piece, so ?I tested and when I blew through the one steam generator inlet pipe, air comes out the other. Essentially, it's just like the steam generator inlet pipes have been connected by a T piece which in turn is connected to the inlet - which is what it looks like visually.
If I connect this up, surely it will create a possible cross flow of hot and cold water in my plumbing? I don't get at all why they have the T piece and require two inlets. ALSO, there is no indication, at all, of which should be hot and which should be cold. On the steam generator it's self, all it says is 'water inlet' that the T piece is screwed into and in turn both flexi supply pipes are connected to.
So - has anyone any constructive comments? I'm currently inclined to block one of the pipes and connect the other to the hot water only. This shuld feed the steam generator and avoid cross contaminating the water. What bugs me is why it was setup this way out the box - surely I'm missing something?
Greg.
