Flow rate for a shower with a pump
Hi all, can you answer this I hope simple question - I have a pre-installed
shower with a pump and shower bar.The shower when running loses presure after about 45 seconds and becomes a trickle. The pipe work is as follows 15mm flexi house to short 15mm copper then to a 22mm 1m pipe and finally to a 15mm going to the shower bar. Pump has now been changed and shower bar has now been replaced - any ideas?? -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/uk-diy...p-1227495-.htm |

Did changing the pump and bar make any difference? Model of shower pump, what sort of shower bar? Where do the hot and cold supplies come from. |

Flow rate for a shower with a pump
I'd have said the crucial thing is, can it draw the water in fast enough,
not shove it out fast enough. Normally the bottleneck is on the input side in my experience. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
