shower

Hi, I currently have a combi boiler which drops flow rate when a second tap is turned on. I'm also looking to add a second shower. The flow rate i have is 12 ltr per min and i cannot install a blue pipe because a i have a shared mains with the neighbour. I have a couple questions: If i place...

My shower (Triton Combi HP) is about 20 years old. Suddenly it has developed a fault - not enough hot water is coming through (hot water is fine in the rest of my flat). I can get the temp up using the rotary thingy, but if I go beyond the safety stop it gets colder again! Given its age, is it...

I have a power shower (Triton Opal) on which I have changed the shower head and hose previously. I can't remember the source or details about the replacement hose I used, but looking at it now I can see that it has an inbuilt blue plastic diaphragm type thing about an inch in from one end, which...

I have a gravity fed system which consists of a cold water storage tank in the loft and a hot water tank on the ground floor in an airing cupboard. The hot water pressure on the ground floor in the kitchen and toilet is decent, which is expected as the water has a longer drop from the loft. On...

We are currently planning and designing a new en-suite in our master bedroom. This is an entirely new room as there is no ensuite already. The ceiling along the back, longest wall is sloped with the lowest point being around 5ft. Is there any regulations regarding minimum height/headspace...

Hi there. hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction? How do I boost the water pressure of our house? We have our own private water supply from a spring and reservoir in our field. Although the water flows well, It isn’t quite enough pressure to supply an electric shower if you...

I am looking to replace a Power Shower at home. It's straight replacement with Power and cold water. The Power is a switch on the consumer unit. My issue is that I can't find an isolator for the cold water feed. The pipe comes out through a tile. The house is new and there are no exposed pipes...

Morning all, we’ve recently purchased a house in need of renovation, we’ve been looking at ideas for the shower room and came across this picture in a catalog, is it a good/bad idea to fully enclose a shower as seen in the picture (boxed in above the glass), if a good extractor fan is fitted...

I have a dripping shower which comes from.a mixer tap. I'm wondering what's easiest to replace the washers ? Or inner thingy ? Or replace the to whole tap, looks like they cost £50.

Hi I recently had a leak underneath my shower tray, the piece that covers the end (shower skirt?) was removed but has been damaged. This looks like something that has been cut to size, I've tried to find a skirt which would fit but can't find one off the shelf. The dimensions are 73x1x17cm Can...

We've just had our loft floor raised to cover new insulation. Since the installers finished we've had trouble with the shower. It became a bit temperamental having to be switched on and off a couple of times before it would work. Tonight it's totally failing to operate. When we switch on the...

Hi Folks, Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. I’ve got an Mira advance flex, I live in a very very hard water area. My shower is 2 years old with a Electrolytic filter that’s less then a year. I keep getting very weak flow at higher temperature and sometimes it cuts...

Hello - please forgive me if I've used the wrong terminology! I have attached three images which show the location of this leak/drip. The shower is connected to the wall as shown - the knob on the left is to turn the shower on and the knob on the right is to control the temperature. Where the...

I’ve used a couple of 90 degree wall plate elbows to fit a shower arm and hand shower into. My question is the shower arm needs backing off about 1/4 turn and the hand shower needs backing off 3/4 of a turn. Now I’m going to use loctite 55 but also wondered if it’s worth using some kind of fibre...

Probably the surge in water pressure is the trigger as other taps are turned on. If the sensitivity cannot be adjusted, I would suggest fitting PIR's in there stead.

Help required for some pensioners. We have extractor fans in each of our bathrooms which are triggered by flow switches on the cold water feed to the showers (one shower is electric so fed by cold water only, the other is a mixer with cold and hot feeds). These work correctly most of the time...

Hi there, any help appreciated! We've bought a Aqualisa Visage shower to replace our old one, however, have realised it's one without a pump! Can we just buy a shower pump and attach separately, and if so, does it need to go before or after the digital unit? We have a cylinder boiler in an...

Any tips on how to remove the retaining ring from my Burlington shower so I can clean the thermostatic cartridge? It has two notches. Thanks!

Hi. I recently noticed a drip down the side of my house. Not been here long so dont know if its an old problem. It seems the culprit is an external drainpipe (from the shower I think). There is a ring of what looks like moss which is sodden. As this has only just started to be an issue, I...
