I don't think so, as the SF's were designed to not suck aerated water (very hot water plus microbubbles) into shower pumps.

 

The dip pipe solution is kosher, as it's mains pressurised water so any air that accumulates just gets pulled through in normal use, plus modern G3 installations all avoid / prevent the extremely high water temps that cause these microbubbles.

Thank's for the lesson, every day is a school day for me @Nickfromwales I looked at that and wanted to ask! I had my doubts.. but we live and learn.

 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Nick in terms that I can get my head around.

 

Ta from me for a great explanation!

The one I’ve done most recently, I installed a ‘guest’ switch to bring on the immersion for times of duress,

We have a timer and override switch on the immersion, switched off completely right now. I guess this is the same thing in essence.

Yup, just if I give it a fancy name I can get some extra beer dollars..................(only kidding). This can be a Shelly or wifi controlled doo-dah, or the 20a switch mounted in a more convenient place, basically.
