Hi
I am about to have a new bath with shower over the top installed. We don't have a shower cubicle or space for one.
We are going for a slide rail/ handset- style shower only for various reasons.
The valve I will be fitting is a Crosswater Waldorf which is designed for systems starting at 0.2 bar. Hopefully this is a good choice.
This is my current cold water reading off the bath tap hand shower nozzle for pressure: (I got very similar readings from the garden hose tap)
Static: 1.7 bar
Dynamic: 1.0 bar (Measured with the sink tap running - hopefully I did this right)
Flow rate: 10-12 litres/ min (10 or a touch more at showering temp, 12 at cold).
All fed from a Valiant Ecotec24 Combi - this is a ground floor maisonette.
The one thing I can't decide on is a shower head. Obviously the pressure is 'OK' but not amazing by any stretch.
I was looking at the Grohe Raindance range, but I am a bit worried they all recommend min. 1 bar they might give a bit of a rubbish shower. Someone in a bathroom shop suggested the Crosswater Wisp which is supposed to give excellent flow at 0.2 bar, but it is only a 100mm head, and given we don't have a rainfall shower, I am worried it might be a bit rubbish as a daily shower?
Any advice most welcome!
Cheers
