    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Unfortunately nowhere yet - been so busy. Been working on CCTV around the exterior and other bits and bobs that needed more attention. Also the actual cold water inlet piping could be very messy due to the location of the mixer for the current shower unit, without breaking down the walls and...

    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Just a quick update. Discovered why we were having issues with the flow sensor on the pump. Pump was fine. Odd discovery with the non return valve and the flexible pipe fitting used. The hot water was leaking slightly back into the inlet pipe. Noticed the inlet pipe was hot! Swapped out the...

    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Brilliant thanks for all the detailed information. I'll keep the pump set up as it is. I do believe there was some air in the piping the other day after changing a non return valve on the immersion heater tank on Friday though. Appears to be functioning better on the upper floor bathrooms now...

    Thanks for the replies. Do you think I'd get a better faster pressure if the pump was installed at ground level, where I've added the circle with the cross rather than under the tank? The bathroom is far, it goes down to the ground level first and then rises up.

    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Many thanks. I knew you'd be the man to ask. Greatly appreciated as always. Makes sense in regards to the possibility of water ingress into the box. Now a couple of doubts. The tank is not pressurised, it has a float valve. As the pump is directly under the tank there is not 2 metres between...

    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Sorry I know I'm digressing from electrical topics a little here (well it is an electrical pump but more to do with the plumbing and location for the flow sensor to work efficiently). The pump installed under the tank does not quite comply with the fitting instructions. The manual says an...

    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Many thanks for the offer. Very kind of you. I have my Dad in Wales who can arrange thatđź‘Ť Need to arrange it carefully maybe with some other items as I can only import 3 times a year with my residence card here (max 200 USD also). Very strict and all registered. Unless someone is travelling...

    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Looks like I might need to send over the brass compression fitting from the UK. Wish I had bought it with the shower while I was there now! Just not a fitting they have here because they don't sell these showers. So no fast install here for sure. Maybe by next year my wife will have water on...

    Could well be the case. Always end up with the wrong fittings here. There are 13,19,20 and 25mm fittings. The 13 is only 1 pound fifty. Worth a shot and exchange it if it looks like the wrong size.
