Shower plumbing advice please
Hi, bought a jacuzzi shower bath of ebay. Has an L-shaped shower panel
which has a thermostatic shower and extra body jets. I have three questions about plumbing it in to a bathroom I'm building between two bedrooms please. 1. It came with a large 3-bar shower pump but I would like to avoid using this if possible because of wasted water and pump noise. I have 2.5m from the top of the cold cistern to the shower head and about 4m to the bottom of the hot tank- not plumbed in yet so can't measure actual pressure - will this be enough (I'm not too concerned if body jets, which can be turned off, don't work properly)? 2. Also, there are two inlets to the shower thermostatic valve - hot and cold. These go to the body jets and shower head. There is an additional hot flexible pipe from the thermostatic valve. Does this go to the bath mixer tap (it's the only place I can see to connect it and it is not mentioned in the instructions)? 3. Would it be ok to run a hot supply directly to the bath mixer tap (in case I need to use the pump for the shower). Thank you |
