| 1437271 | 2017-07-18 04:07:00 | You can't use a shower with steam still in it? seems a bit weird of you, a soon as you turn it on steam will be back anyway. The logic of the concept is by trapping the moisture in the shower which is lined with waterproof surfaces and has a drain in it you prevent it from mixing into the air in your house thereby reducing how much moisture is in your house in general. You could also just shut the bathroom door and open a window I suppose. Has the added benefit of not fogging up the mirror too. Mould shouldn't really be an issue inside a shower, unless you never clean it and even if it is it should be much easier to clean up than on say the ceiling. |

| 1437273 | 2017-07-18 06:15:00 | Could probably do without a fan but there are other steam makers in a bathroom. Basin, toilet etcGosh. That was TMI. :eek: I was looking at getting one when my bathroom was reno'd, but was advised it was better to have a decent extractor fan above the shower instead. Plumber reckoned he saw more leaks with shower domes as the trapped hot moist air caused a higher air pressure which encouraged water to travel behind joins etc which wouldn't have occurred otherwise. |

Our first house had no permits for a heap of things, including fireplace. The buyer bought it anyway. |

| 1437276 | 2017-08-04 04:52:00 | Finally got my shower replaced -- not happy at all with the type of workmanship, one of my worst experience in my life. Got my old shower mixer replaced as well and found that the shower water pressure is so low that it's not even half of my old shower mixer. Phoned the installer (he supplied all the stuff) and he told me that ALL NEW shower mixers have a pressure restricter to regulate the water pressure. Anyone here with experience in plumbing care to share his/her experience and knowledge? Cheers. |

| 1437277 | 2017-08-04 05:00:00 | Not a plumber, but I remember my mixer came with one and the plumber removed it because he said that was for mains pressure hot water systems and mine is a low pressure hot water cylinder. Was just a Nylon thingamabob inside one of the hose fittings and removable. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1437278 | 2017-08-04 05:53:00 | Mine is mains pressure system hot water, the pressure should be good. It was pretty before. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1437279 | 2017-08-04 07:49:00 | The pressure reducer is probably a plastic disc in the hose end, easily removed if it is. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1437280 | 2017-08-04 09:38:00 | I have removed the hose, checked both ends of the hose but found nothing there, probably they put it at the outlet of the mixer. This shower guy is very arrogant, (if I am 30 years younger, I won't let him off so easily.) keep on saying that his mixer is OK and refused to get his plumber to come and take a look at it. I am really very pi$%$% off. I may have to spend another $100+ to get another plumber to come and check. I haven't come across anyone like him. Is it OK to mentioned the company's name here? |
