What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

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

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.

2 Thermostatic showers back-to-back (in a empty spa building I must say).

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

 

[Ben-gee]

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.

 

[king of pipes]

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.

Started a bathroom upgrade this week new owner hates the assisted bathroom look and it's fixtures and fittings so a full strip and new tiling is taking place, updating everything . Kop

 

[Scott_D]

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

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Looks good Scott you do the prep eg hardie ? And Mira shower ?
