Thermostatic power showers

Posted by Lesley Austin, on
We have recently had our heating system replaced with a combi system. We have a triton thermostatic power shower in the bathroom, can this still be used?

if the shower is the type that has a pump built in the unit then you can not use it ,the pressure from the mains will blow the seals in the internal pump. if it is a shower valve with an external pump then your boiler installer should have removed this when he did his installation , then you can use the shower , did your installer not advise you on this when he sold you the boiler . Hope this helps Graham

Hi Lesley If you have thermostatic power shower which works on hot and cold water supply I am affraid that you can not use and connect to hot water outlet from combi boiler as they work on gravity systems only where water pressure do not exceed 0,5 bar. I would recomend to post a job on main website because some of a job needs to be seen before any advice is given.

I would strongly recomend to post a job on Rated People home page then 3 companies will get in touch then you would be able to choose the right person as you would receive an e mail with a link to tradesman account where you would see a pictures and you will read revious from previous customers. I hope this will help Best regards Rafal
