Although our bath is of a somewhat different extreme effort... we have to run the shower to fill the bath so it doesn't fill up too quickly, otherwise the tank drains too quickly and then fills up and doesn't stop...I'm sure you get the picture. Of course the other problem to having a bath in our house is the bath empties into drains in our conservatory, of which all to often seem to block up and thus cause a flood in the conservatory/utility room. Therefore I have decided it is just far too risky to have a bath in this house and just shower instead!Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.com
