Problems with hot water pressure in the new fitted bathroom suite

Gazella77

Thanks a lot,

I've check the contractors and I'll try to contact the one nearest me.

I appreciate all your help, thank you very, very much.

Hi Bob

Ha Ha ! Named that system in one. Well done.

I thought I'd start simple then work up from there.

:eek: Those look awful. I was thinking an alternative might be something along the same lines like an Elson Maxistore http://www.elsy-gibbons.co.uk/elson/elson.nsf
(at least they come boxed in !)

Just for completion on the discussion, I suspect the shower enclosure hasn't got any information on the expected pressures but they are probably aimed at the European market where a lot of stuff is pressurised (I guess) and it's only us in the UK who still have a significant housing stock with vented systems.
Plus, you get what you pay for. Have a look at this, marvel at the quality, faint at the price.

We have a shower enclosure similar to the op,s. We bought it in France for silly cheap money to be installed in our house in France where the water has a very good pressure. We also have a Megaflo system installed.
My husband is a gas engineer/plumber, and this shower/enclosure is really nice but he said it would not be any good in UK due to pressure, unless you drastically updated our system at vast expense.
I think the people selling these on ebay and elsewhere should advise about the installation problems, but I suppose they are making a living selling the items and possibly the buyers should be aware before purchasing.
