New Geyser - Low Water Pressure

Hi Guys, I have a bit a problem. I recently bought a house. The house is approx 38 years old. We redid one bathroom and then realized that the warm water pressure is too low. On recommendation of the plumber we replaced the old 100kpa geyser with a Franke 150l 400kpa geyser . The geyser has three overflows (drain pan, security valve and pressure valve ). After installation, we had the problem that the pressure valve shot out (not only drip) water every time we opened warm and cold in the shower (or any other tap). The plumbers then said that the problem is the immensely high cold water pressure in the area. He said the cold water is pushing back the hot water and that causes the pressure valve to overflow. They then removed the pressure valve out of the ceiling and put it in the garden after the meter. The setup is now municipal tap, meter, my tap, pressure valve . Now the whole house is balanced on 400kpa (its a 400kpa pressure valve ), however when I want to water my garden its ...

Top 5 bathroom safety features

Image
Not many people take into consideration how dangerous the bathroom can be. Slippery tiles , hard objects and hot water can make a bathroom one of the most dangerous rooms in the home. Rubber-backed rugs and bath mats reduce the chances of slipping and also offer additional comfort . However, these need to be aired after bathing to prevent mildew or mould. So, when the time comes to renovate or improve your bathroom, consider adding features that make it safer and more accessible.    1. Install anti-slip flooring With most bathrooms being tiled from floor to ceiling, accidents are a common cause of bath injuries. When ceramic tiles get wet you can easily slip and lose your footing, especially when climbing out of a bath or shower. Rather than installing large glossy tiles in a bathroom, look for tiles that have a slightly textured surface - more grip than slip. If you have your heart set on gloss, opt for smaller tiles that have more grout lines, a...

Let the good times flow in the bathroom

We are a nation of shower lovers, but standing exposed in a stream of water, we expect a vibrant, effective, sensory experience. Matching your shower to the water system in your home, will ensure sensory pleasure over a damp squib. Gravity- fed mixer showers : Traditional mixer showers use the same water that feeds your kitchen, laundry and bathroom. With part of the water descending from the cold-storage tank and mixing with water from the hot-water storage, the weight of water will depend on where the loft tank is in relation to the shower head. Have your plumber determine if an extra pump will be needed to avoid a feeble spit from the ‘head’ of water: 0.5bar is the minimum for anything approaching an invigorating feed — 3-4m distance between shower head and tank should be enough. Shower pumps for gravity-fed, low pressure: To opt into the luxury of say a tower shower ( added directional jets from an upright column) demands pressure. Pumps deliver more water per minute through ...

It's form over function at K/BIS

BY ROBERT P. MADER OF CONTRACTOR'S STAFF You're not just washing your hands or a dish, you're living a lifestyle and plumbing manufacturers are happy to help. When the home builders met in Orlando, Fla., in January, their show was all about function (April, pg. 39) . The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show , on the contrary, is all about pizzazz.
