...of what?

The amount of air movement. Ducting and room sealing will affect this. The fan flow rate is a factor also

I regularly install inline fans in replacement of ceiling fans. I'm unclear if the intention is for all of this to apply to upgrades or only more major installations. Most fans include a low and a high power mode and the function will be affected by the installation method.

I was speaking to an airflow rep the other day and he claimed their fans are tested with 2m of straight duct but thought others didn't.

Just remember not to swallow.

I'm sure there will be something in the Water Act that prohibits that, and if not there should be.

At the very least, recirculating shower water can't be a good thing.

I suspect this is only for new builds, extensions etc. I can't see it being applied to replacements or upgrades in existing buildings.

It's not shower water it's condensed water from the shower extract steam.

Would condensed luke-warm water from shower steam be a good place to incubate legionnella bacteria?

 

[DPG]

Let's face it, the vent should be to the outside.

I assume there will be a fee involved in notification?
