Is this mixer shower suitable for low pressure systems?

I thought thermostatic gravity showers were only designed for one or t'other, but this one says Suitable for up to 8 bar water pressure

I would suggest a mira coda with ERD, surprising good even at 0.1br pressure

There's no saying the Aldi won't work but you would have to fit and check

It maybe suitable for 8bar, but will it work on low pressures?

And try taking it back for a refund/replacement if it goes faulty.

I've no idea. But there again, that's exactly what I was asking in the OP.

The lady, who runs an online company called Every Drop is Precious, sells showers which you can fit onto monobloc bath or basin taps (even kitchen or outdoor ones), but instead of the usual 'rubber' connections, which perish, they have metal adaptors.


She is very helpful with answering questions about pressure.
