shower

I’m replacing my faulty old mains fed electric shower (Mira Sport Max 10.8kW) and am considering going for a pumped, gravity fed electric shower (such as the Mira Elite SE Dual Pumped Electric Shower 9.8kW). The mains pressure sometimes drops enough for the low-flow cut-out to operate or the...

Hi all, I'm remodeling the shower plumbing for SWMBO. She does not want tile work (or stone) or any changes to the bath / shower side. Tearing out the wall opposite the valve side is fine. I saw a very cool looking valve / trim that seems to meet all the needs. I'm looking into a 3-outlet...

I have installed 2 brand new shower heads on the same shower and both leaked, which leads me to believe something else is going on. It leaks out of the the shower head holes, not any connections. Any suggestions on what might be the problem? I just recently installed a new Delta 1400...

How do you remove this cartridge? I am looking for a nut or a pin and I am having no such looking trying to remove this. Maybe this one has a special trick to release it? I am thinking about replacing this to see if the leak will stop. Any other suggestions?

Hi. I live in an old building and need to replace the shower cartridge. I need help identifying the type if possible. The standard ones at home depot don't match. Thanks so much for any help!

Hello, I recently was asked to help an elderly friend install handrails in their bathroom. I ran into a problem with the last rail in the standing tile shower, see pictures. I found what I thought was a stud running up the wall and found metal behind the tile that I had trouble drilling...

Hi My daughter has a Grohe mixer shower (see photos) and however I try to mix it to warm / hot it only just manages slightly warm or cold. I don't know how old it is as it was already fitted when they moved in. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem. Other showers are fine so I think...

So, I have a shower that was done by the old homeowner and the drain doesn’t look like it’s done correctly. We notice water damage occurring on our laminate floor in our dining room which is located on the other side of the wall of the shower/bathroom. We also noticed a bit of moisture when we...

Hi everyone, I’m putting together some shower lines with Sharkbite PEXb, and I keep finding mixed messages on bends. The bend in the attached photo runs from the valve to the wand drop ear. It’s wider than the 90° bend support (shown in the photo), but I’m curious on others thoughts. Would this...

A month ago we replaced the pressure tank & pressure switch as the bladder was busted. see previous post below to get info on the pump if needed. https://www.plumbingforums.com/threads/questions-about-my-well-pump.20049/#post-155643 After changing the pressure tank for the most part things...

A friend had a new shower fitted along with a pump but they find it too powerful for them as the person that uses it is in his 80's and it actually hurts him what with his skin being very thin. Its a Aqualisa ipx4 and I wondered if anyone can tell me if the flow rate could be reduced?

We are selling our home and need to install the trim for our shower. I called and sought local help, no one seems to know. We renovated the shower a year ago but didn't keep the trim or think to replace the value. I don't want to have to remove and replace the tile. Does anyone have any idea...

I've read what I could about this topic and have made a number of changes but still have the problem. I am renovating a house and one of the showers I ran 1/2" PEX from the valve to the shower head. When I turned on the tub faucet it would drip quite a lot from the shower head. I never...

Greetings. We’re looking to install a glass shower enclosure in a corner in a guest bath in a California. The existing space we have to work with is ‘very’ tight in all directions (see attached plan). When I Google the minimum allowed size, most of the home improvement websites cite 30” x 30”...

Hi everyone, I am having a serious issue with my newly remodeled guest house shower. See attached pic. Every day that I check by turning on the shower, sewer smell comes out from the new shower drain. It also happens when I flush the toilet first, before turning on the shower. The smell...

Hi, I have my bathroom done up last year. The builder forgot to put the waterproof cap on the shower, now it is getting rusty inside. I wonder if anyone know where to buy this cap? I am not even sure what it is called? Thanks Read more: Shower waterproof cap

The screw from my shower handle fell off. I don’t know what brand it is. My tenant sent some pictures. Any idea what screw I can use?

Hi there! My wife and I recently bought our first detached home! We bought a Moen Trim Kit for our upstairs bathroom, however, when the plumber we hired to install it (among many other things) came to do the work, he said he could not install it because he has never seen this valve before...

I'm hoping someone can identify this cast iron canister connected to the drain line of a stand-up shower in a house built in the 1940's, it's about 5.5 inches (14cm) tall, has a removable top and has no markings that I can see. I wouldn't bother, but the drain began leaking and I need to know...

I'm trying to do something nice for my dad and update his shower fixtures. I know it's a Moen kit that is currently on it and I know I have to stick with Moen. But I've never really messed with anything like this before. My question is, how do I determine which model I need to get? I have...
