showers

A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water at different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice.

    Pumped shower and overflow problem

    I was called to a house that reported the hot water header tank was over flowing, so I expected a passing float valve and visited. The valve operated correctly and the problem was more involved. They have 3 showers running from a Salamander 3 bar pump. The pump and installation seem fine and a...

    Using Showers

    In my younger days I sometimes encountered half clad females with wet hair who where," just having a shower before you turn off the water". As I grew older these encounters became less frequent. Now they don't happen at all. Does this mean people are taking fewer showers.

    Water cylinder

    Planning to install an unvented water cylinder to supply 5 showers in a club.
