Trevi Boost Ventura Shower - Has anyone got one

[wolfboy]

Hi,

I have been researching showers, and I can across this Trevi Boost, which meant to be better than an electric or just tank pressure. (But no pump needed).
Anyone got any comments on how good or bad they are, + connection details.

Also I was a bit suprised at the cost of the pumps that go with the power showers.. £300!!! what's that all about? Is it possible to my a decent pump for less than that?

Did have to install a seperate hot feed from the hot tank. If so did you cut into the tank ot T off the existing pipe work?

I installed a Trevi Boost Ventura shower in my Lodge seven years ago because we had no headroom and I hate electric showers. The cold water draws the hot water through. As we had an AGA there was always an abundance of hot water but we didn't install a combi boiler as central heating was not necessary.
We had a slight problem last year when the water stopped running so I rang Trevi who emailed a PDF instruction leaflet which my neighbour read and fixed. He was not actually a plumber but very handy and I believe all it needed was - taking the cover off and given a good cleaning. It works perfectly now.
