when marking onto tiles for screw holes, if I don't have a chinagraph pencil, I usually put masking tape on the tiles and mark onto that.

When you think it will leak. It never leaks. But when you think it's good, ... There's a saying, a watched kettle never boils, well, a watched copper pipe never leaks. They leak 10 mins after you've left.

Old pipe = clean inside the new fitting twice as good and flux both sides. Yes you get a messy solder joint, but it will hold.

Why not use a system with remote control? It has to be simpler to install. Place the remote near the entrance to the shower and you won't get a shock of cold water down your arm each time you turn it on

Why is there directional arrows on the lever valves? Ok obviously you fit the valve with the arrow in the position of the flow of water but why?

@sdgelectronics 10 ай бұрын

It's to do with how the valve is assembled. The ball part of the valve is inserted into the side facing the incoming water supply.

Do you want to sell the low pressure unit ? Is it one from Bathroom brands with a part number of 100133 ? I fitted a Crosswater digital shower around 6 years ago and the pump is on the way out.

@dimitar4y 10 ай бұрын

He mentioned in an older video that this was filmed quite a while ago, he ran into this problem quite a bit time back, so he probably modified/sold the original unit long ago.

Am glad when I had our showers fitted that I had wireless controllers and just ran the pipe in from the ceiling. Doesn't look as nice but a lot less maintenance / replacement in the future. Next time I need to tell my wife that it's going to be all plastic panels both wall and ceiling 🤣
