I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Agreed mate I supposed they are aimed at rental and landlord type properties may be ? add a stat job done may not meet boilier plus but loads out there that don't and who is going to police it nowadays a the best bud . Kop

You can’t meet boiler plus with the mechanical clock and room stat as far as I know.
So you need Weather comp.
Or an external programmer/stat and tell the user not to touch the built in timer as it must be permanently on.

I fitted an Independant c24 recently for a landord, I used a Salus wireless room stat as it was the cheapest available. Doesn’t comply but like you say, who’s going to check.

My first biggish job near completion since lockdown started stripping out Thursday and Friday last week , this shower room needed turning round quickly so went for multi panel to blend in with the existing tile that was installed 5 years ago and still looking good , the Victoria plumb shower and tray installed hadn't faired so well was leaking badly and looked shabby , I installed a Aqualisa Zuri smart shower with the processor box installed above in the loft connected to a Viessman 100 combi and Qualitex shower tray and wetroom glass, just the wiring, commissioning, lagging , and the clearing up to do today so 4.5 days which I think is reasonable cheers chaps keep safe .

Panels actually look decent. Which ones you use and how do you attach them?

Hi KOP, I was told by aqualisa that a flow limiter can damage the pump so could only go down to 10l/min (if I remember correctly) - what do you go down to and have you had any problems?
I too have wanted to hold the bugger back occasionally!

9 litres a minute bud I will contact Aqualisa and check ? after second thoughts I may adjust where I limited the flow to the incoming supplies that way theres no back pressure , the stainless steel grate is the problem luckily my brother is the production manager in a factory that produces sheet metal products so hes going to fabricate a new one with 40 more holes in then restriction can come out ??? cheers Kop

You’ll probably have a market for those grids! I find positioning the riser rail/fixed head makes a hell of a difference to waste removal - but of course this has to be run past customer, if it wasn’t for them this job would be easy.

Update chaps after talking to Aqualisa technical , I have adjusted the processor control unit to HP eco mode from combi mode this reduces the flow by 2 litres a minute and removed the flow limiter it is not guaranteed to work faultlessly and can fluctuate slightly on temperature but a 2 litres a minute saving is worth trying also getting a grate made with 40 extra holes so should help.

This is the tray I asked for advice on another thread. Went for SBR and flexible tile adhesive in the end.
