I recently posted asking for advice on the poorflow from my bath/shower taps. The shower head is only half a metre under the cold water tank giving a bar of .05 Aiden kindly answered suggesting I install an impeller pump.The plumber I contacted said a power shower would not work well, with our water system. Our water is a 25 gallon cold water tank in the attic which is supplied by gravity from a 100 gallon catchment well a power shower would be too fierce for the flow.He also did not reccomend a power shower over a roll top bath because a shower curtain is insufficient to prevent the water splashing on to the floor.
He also adviced changing the taps because they cause problems ( you have to get the water the right heat then pull up a button to divert to the shower).He suggested replacing them with thermostatic taps. I searched the internet last night to get imformation on these taps and found they need a higher flow than our flow to work correctly.
Does anyone else have a similar water set up? If so have they a solution for me.
I know this is not strictly Period property but the house is listed and the water system could be called " period "
