They won't work very well on low pressure/ gravity fed supplies You need a Rinnai combi doodah with a radiator in an airing cupboard and a fast recovery cylinder. Fit a remote mixing thermostat and a sprinkling of Part P with a dual gas cock for the best results. I have one of these in my library extension that I constructed in a lock up garage entirely with my own hands using nothing more than a Wickes SDS drill and a junior hacksaw. |

Probably based on spec for mainland Europe where they have direct feed and no storage tanks=high pressure So what does that mean for here? If it can take high pressure, then it'll be ok with crappy tank pressure? Insufficient flow. I was near Lidl on Monday morning and went in to have a look. The taps are good quality, smart, made in Italy and with a 5 year guarantee. They are not the same as Screwfix. They sold them for buttons. A young nephew of mine is to redo his new old house soon so I bought a bunch of the stuff: 3 basin mixers, bath mixer and two thermostatic shower mixers and hoses etc, I paid about £75. Normally that could not get you two of the basin mixers. I figured it was about 1/4 of the price you would normally pay. The shower mixers were good quality and only £15. A similar sort in Screwfix, which I'm sure would be of less quality, would be £60. There is a service number on the info leaflet, so no throw away items. Mixers come with ceramic discs. All were high pressure, with some requiring a minimum of 0.5 bar. I spoke to a few people about to buy them when I pointed out to them they are high pressure only and only a dribble will come out if used on their tanks. I'm sure many will be returned when they all find out. Most of the stock was sold win the first 2 hours. The nephew is doing his bathroom up in about a year. His old basins have two taps. I suggested that the basin monobloc tap be fitted to one ot the taps holes and a blanking plate fitted in the other. The pop up waste can still be used as the rods stretch enough, and it can be used with the one hole basin in the future. I will be fitting his new taps at the weekend. So, thanks for the Lidl tip. |
