Hello All

Having just tested my new thermostatic shower out the body jets dont
appear to be very good in the flow department. Im thinking its the way
I've plumbed them in as the last one in the pipe run has particularly
bad flow, the first is acceptable. I have just daisy chained them T'ing
off a pipe run (15mm) which I was told should be OK!

What is the best way to plumb these in to see that all jets get equal
flow or there abouts. I have a thermostatic mixer shower which is
powered by a 3 bar monsoon pump.


TIA
Cheers

It sounds to me like a flow problem, I've 8 (2 x 4) jets running off
8mm piping with no problems with a 3 bar pump. Is the thermostatic
shower valve/ diverter valve in front causing a pressure drop?

In what way do you mean, do I notice a significant drop in pressure
when the diverter is turned to body jets? No I dont appear to. Do you
suspect something wrong with the diverter??

I just went to the time and trouble to redo all my connections to the
body jets but instead of using flexible connectors which looked quite
small bore I piped up to it, this didn't make much difference though
and water continues to piddle out of the last jet in the loop. I also
swapped body jets over just to eliminate that.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

You should probably make an appointment with a urologist...
