Shower drain plumbing design
Any comments ?

I believe this will have two benefits, allow me to eliminate the Pump Guard (Whale advertises that a pump guard is not needed in a shower application, the pump can deal directly with the soap & hair), and I hope it's so much better than the Jabsco that it pulls more of the water out of the boat before it looses suction. 2. Either eliminate Pump Guard entirely (to get a better vacumm). If people don't recommend I do that, then maybe I will turn it so that the water inlet is on top and exit is on bottom, such that I eliminate it contributing to the water flow back into the shower. 3. Shorten up the lines. They seem longer than then need to be, for example eliminate the two feet of line running along the floor before rising up to form the loop. Hoping shorter length may have less opportunity to store water that can return to shower. This change I am most aprehensive about ... as the that two length of hose might be providing a positive benefit, being that it is at or below the level of the drain and might be helping to increase the capacity of the drain. 4. Or, instead of shortening the lines, I might first create a ramp up, then loop down per Pete C.s suggestion. Any thoughts ? |
