mixer shower

Hi, I have a Douglas James shower pod with a concealed mixer shower. This appears to be a Triton Elina shower, but not 100% confirmed. As with some older posts in the forum, the control lever has come off and I can't get it back on. Spare parts are no longer available either from Triton or, as...

Hi all! I'm looking to open a commercial fitness space in London which will have 2 shower rooms (one shower in each room). Currently there's only toilets and sinks so would be creating showers from nothing. I'm being told electric will be easier and cheaper to install. But every electric...

Hi all, We've had this older Bristan shower tap from the previous owner. I unfortunately can't find the exact model, but it looks something like a Bristan Artisan. The closest matching image online I found is here (also attaching image below), with the difference that we don't have the red...

If you have a mixer shower with gravity fed hot and cold mains, can you get a pump to pressurise the hot? I have been told that doing this is not good plumbing practice but I do not fully understand why? Can someone explain? Is it possible if you use a negative head/universal pump?

Hi all, I'm a DIY'er so please forgive my lack of experience. I'll keep it short. About to install a mixer shower. Pipes are in, walls are tiled. The shower kit we bought came with a couple of those elbow adapters like the ones below. However, the smaller diameter part only seems to want to...

Hi I have a glow worm combo boiler. If I run the hot tap the boiler and pipes make a racket, all sorts of banging noises. If I run the bathroom sink hot tap sometimes it starts the hot bath tap.

Hi everyone I’m hoping you can help me solve an issue with my water tank in the loft. I think it’s the cold water tank as it’s the larger of two and I have a hot water cylinder on the 1st floor. I recently had a new bathroom with a mixer shower (previously no shower only bath) which was...

Hiya.. I want to remove my old electric shower and replace it with a bath mixer tap with shower head. a) Will it have enough pressure? b) Can I fit it to a riser rail and have the shower at the right height for a normal standing shower? I'm assuming no because from all the pictures I've...

Hi, I bought a mixer shower (Mira Atom ERD) as it says it works with all water pressures only find out after reading the instructions that it's not suitable for gravity hot/mains cold. I'd like to avoid running a new pipe from the cold water tank - do i need to fit a pressure equalising valve...
