Does anyone know if there's a way
to run two showers (with thermostatic mixer valves) at the same time
off the one combi boiler I'll be putting in,


Hi Ellen,
We successfully run two showers at the same time from one combi. It's an
oil-fired Trianco unit.
Basically the flow rate reduces when both showers are in use, but they are
still perfectly usable.

As one of the other posters said, even when used like this the flow is still
comparable or better than many electric showers I've used.

One of the showers has a thermostatic mixer (the kids use this one), while
the other has a manual temperature/flow control. If you're using the
thermostatic one the only thing you notice is that the flow slows down a
bit. When using the non-thermostatic one you need to turn it a bit hotter
than normal to compensate.
They're both in use most mornings as eneryone tries to get freshened up and
out of the house at the same time!
