Is it possible to put an instant shower on a telephone shower? Educate me please.


No it is not possible but I can import for you a whole telephone shower with rail at a good price


Thanks Coloner. I have the telephone shower and was wondering if I can put an instant shower on it.


Yes you can. Just remove the telephone from the base where it connects to the mixer. Fix a regular metal pipe and do an instant shower stand that pours water into the tub. I have done it before.

while on bathroom matters, i have heared of a system called something like constant pressure for the taps/showers. You see my first floor bathrooms have very low pressure. I wish to have water gush out from them at higher pressure. any ideas..

@mmarto. Pressure control can be done using the diameter of the pipes. Get a good plumber who knows how to play with the diameters to create the pressure effect.

@ a4architect.com, thx. However plumbing was done kitambo before i took residency. The piping used is 3/4 inch. A mistake i must have made was to use the rectangular water tank instead of the cylindrical one. anyway i cannot change some of this now but was hoping to find a way of increasing pressure of my taps/shower.

@mmarto – What type of mixers do you have? If you have installed those lever type mixers, these require high pressure.. achieved by installing an on-line water pump.
Again on constant pressure – I think you meant balanced pressure - this just means pressure of water in cold and hot water lines must be equal, for proportionate mixing at the mixer…

@limanika, i meant constant pressure. The issue is not the mixers coz pressure is not much from the naked pipe. I think the rectangular tank is the problem. i saw an article in the DN to do with constant pressure gadget starting at 3K. The article was written by a person working for Davis & Shirtliff

@mmarto, an experienced plumber can change/alter pressure simply by replacing your entry/exit pipe sizes, not the whole plumbing works. With replacement at the exit of tank and entry of tap, this would do but only done by experienced professional plumbers who can play with the diameters to achieve this.
