Hi Shevy,

Film start you been stalking me

No i have a vortex system all connected together which runs of the bottom drain and has the heating circuit on the same line. It is basically 4 vortex units connected together with the first vortex being static K1 and then the other 3 being fluidized K1 and in total about 350lts of K1.

Works a treat

Hi Shevy,

Blimey that all sounds confusing mate mine is nice and simple and easy to maintain as i don't have to do anything to the shower and have never touched it since its been turned on.

The vortex units work very well and all i have on this line is the heat exchanger for the heating and i clean and flush the vortex which is converted to static K1 frequently especially in the summer when feeding heavy i could do it twice a day.

Hi Shevy,

It depends on how many tiers you want and what flow you have on how much BHM you have in a shower.I run a 4 tier single Bakki Shower and have 80kg of BHM in it and that is about the most you can get in a 4 tier single but i only have that much as i have two 16,000lte pumps going over it so plenty of flow so no "stuff" can get stuck.
