Shower have both feeds ? Hot and Cold ? Mine had just cold which I did take off the feed to bath taps, had to reduce from 22mm to 15mm along the way.

Title: Re: Fitting an electric shower Post by: suttonred on Friday, August 29, 2014, 18:29:38 Yeah ours is off the hot and cold pipes. Is it an enema kit though?

Used to have one of those rubber push on shower kits, ours used to fall off the hot tap and you'd get an ice cold blast of water. :( Title: Re: Fitting an electric shower Post by: Sippo on Friday, August 29, 2014, 18:39:17 Yeah ours is off the hot and cold pipes. Is it an enema kit though? I suppose it could be used at that. I remember my parents getting one many moons ago. It was definitely an 'upgrade' to getting your hair washed on a Sunday using a jug...

I could be wrong on that of course but well worth investigating further I'd suggest! |
