Folks,
My father is looking at installing a power shower (NewTeam NT
1500-XT). This beasty does not have a separate pump - apparently one is included in the control unit that you attach to the wall. You simply connect hot and cold feeds, wire it up, and away you go.
The manufacturer's brochure says that the bottom of the header tank must be 1m above the top of the maximum height of the shower head. This seems a little excessive given that in most houses the tank sits in the loft about 20cm above where the shower head is likely to be.
Does this seem correct? Is it likely to work with a separation of less than the recommended 1m?
(Before you flame me with 'RTFM' type comments, I'm sure you've all experienced situations where manufacturers are just trying to cover their backs by being over-cautious).
Cheers,
Matt
