Default Could there be enough hot water pressure for a shower?

Hi thanks for answering,
It is round not square but does look Similar All I can see written on it is:
Harton Heating Appliances Ltd, Hatley Road, Thamesmead, Erith Kent.
I cannot see a model no anywhere on it.
The block of 4 flats were built in 1986, and as far as I have been told this
is original equipment..
I will try a hose on the hot tap to see the pressure at head height but
there does seem some pressure.

Hi all, I live in a ground floor all electric 1 bedroom flat.

I do have a bathroom with a short bath in it; if possible I would like to
have fitted a bath mixer tap with a shower hose fitting.

In the airing cupboard there is a cold water tank on top of an insulated
tank with an off peak immersion heater .

The top cold water tank is at the ceiling level.

The hot tank below is at the top 4'2" from the floor.

Could this have enough pressure to use a bath mixer tap with a shower hose
fitting?

Or is a separate electric shower unit the only way?

Hoping someone can advise me.

Mick.


Is your water heater a Pulsacoil type like this:

If it is then it supplies water at mains pressure and already has a
pump so will give you plenty of pressure for a shower.
