I have an outdoor electric hot tub that has stopped working and am converting the hot tub to natural gas. There is a 3/4 inch natural gas line run to the hot tub and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good natural gas hot tub heater. I have seen brands like Hayward, Minimax, Raypak and...

Thanks for the tips about the screws. I guess it is best to use lots of them and make sure the board is not moving anywhere. I am screwing into wood studs and am going to use mostly 18" porcelain tile. I am going to pick up my nobleseal ts and sealant next week but I can't start anything yet...

Thanks John. You are correct that Noble EXT is not approved for steam showers and I do like the idea of using super panel for the ceiling.

Thanks for asking Joe all the questions John. My GreenEboard has been sitting outside (not in the rain) for about 4 months and looks the same as it did the day I bought it. I like the fact that Joe has had his through rain, snow and car washes. I think I will go with your suggestion and order...

FYI - I just brought home the Moen S6320 rain shower head and installed it in my existing shower and it seems to work like a charm. Even better, when you remove the restrictor gasket.

Hi John - If I finish off my steam shower by using Noble Seal TS, would I just continue from where the liner stops on the top of the bench or would I have to bring it right down to the floor over top of the liner? Are there any other products that I would need to go along with the Nobleseal TS...

Does anyone have any thoughts about specific rain shower heads that stand out for performance? Thanks.

Thanks John. I will hold tight to hear back. I am in no extreme rush because I'm hoping to get started with the plumbing in a couple of weeks. I looked online and it appears that you can get Nobleseal TS from an american company toughtool.com which is distributed by a seattle company called...

Hi John. I will be curious what the brass at GreenEboard will have to say. Thanks for contacting them. I think I am starting to change my mind to using Nobleseal TS instead of going the hydroban route. If I use Nobleseal TS, it does the vapor barrier job and I don't have to use another vapor...

I just heard back from the green e board people and they say the following: "GreenEboard can be used in a steam room when properly installed with a product such as Hydroban." Have you heard or experienced differently, or do you just always use cement board and have not tried GreenEboard? I have...

I never really thought about sloping the bench but I guess it would be a good idea. Thanks a lot John. How far up the wall do you think the liner needs to go? and just on the wall where the bench is? That is a very nice sloped ceiling on that site you posted. I don't have very much room in...

Thanks for your feedback. I was told that the green e board is not affected by moisture so it should be fine to use in a steam shower. I just emailed the company to get their thoughts and will post their response. I will make sure there is a continuous thermal break and will be putting in a 6...

I will be sloping my ceiling and it is 8 feet high. There is one exterior wall on the side where the bench is with the pink insulation in the photo. The rain shower head and all 4 body sprays will be opposite the bench, with the handshower located just to the right. The two steam generator...

Thanks for the tip about the water/vapour flashing. I had not thought about that yet. Does it make sense that I will be using hardie tile backer, mesh tape in the corners, thinset in the seams and then a rubber compund rolled over everything? Am I missing anything? I am not planning on adding...

Thanks for the info. I am currently looking at the following lines: Kohler Purist Brizo Euro Delta Arzo Is there one that is recommended over another, or one that I should stay away from? I have not heard of Dornbracht before but they do look very nice. I will look into their prices. I do have...

I have a tankless hot water heater so losing hot water is not an issue. The 3/4 lines are pex. The drain is 3". Each fixture will most likely be 2.5 gpm. I haven't bought them yet but everything I have looked at has been 2.5 gpm. The one thing I am not sure about is whether I want to use a...

I am in the process of installing a shower which will have a rain showerhead, a hand shower unit, and 2 body sprays. I would like to be able to use the body sprays at the same time as the rain showerhead, and then be able to use all 3 components by themselves. I have 3/4 inch plumbing run from...
