Tanked up...
The manufacturer recommends a minimum of 1.5 bar water pressure to experience the full potential of this unit. If you are unsure of how pressurised your water is or how to calculate the bar, use the following formula;
Measure the vertical distance in metres between the bottom of the cold water storage tank and the water outlet (your tap or shower). This figure is the water pressure in a measurement known as 'head' (m). Divide the head by ten (10) to calculate the bar.
Your plumbing purification!
Here's a bit of helpful info to assist you in selecting your shower; your hot water will be at high pressure if you have one of the following;
1). A pressurised system, where mains cold water directly supplies all cold taps and also travels direct to the hot water cylinder, keeping it at high pressure.
2). A combination boiler, which is fed by the mains and heats hot water as you use it.
3). A gravity fed system with a pump added to increase water pressure to more than 1.0 bar.
If you have an unpumped gravity-fed system, where the cold water tank is less than 10 metres above the tap, you should use a low pressure tap or shower. You could add a pump to your system to boost the pressure, which will increase your choice of tap/shower considerably.
Single lever 'mixer' taps require high water pressure, while two separate taps and taps with two handles to control the water flow can function with low pressure.
