I want to fit a powerful shower instead of a bath. The existing pipewor
to the bath is in 15mm tube (CW is mains supply) and the DHW head i only about 1m (to planned shower head). Fitting a pumped power showe would be quite a big job as new 22mm tube would have to be run abou
15m through three rooms and a new electric supply (to pump) would b needed.I've heard that venturi showers can give a powerful jet and are cheape and easier to install. My problem is, even if I go through the loft, th HW pipe run will still be about 9m and the manufacturers recommend maximum run of 10m.
So what sort of performance could I expect from a venturi shower a this distance/HW head? Mains supply pressure is pretty good but I'v not measured it.
Also, in the loft, can I take a 22m supply to the shower from the H tank vent pipe (as low as possible). I understand that for a pumpe power shower that some form of flange is required but could I get awa without one for a venturi shower?
Anyone got a venturi shower or installed one that can comment?
Or would a proper pumped shower be a lot better considering the extr expense and installation difficulty? Thanks for any advice. DrSe
