I've googled and checked the FAQ but not found anything specific to
this
problem.

I would like fit a decent shower in my bathroom as part of a
shower/bath
combination. Its a small flat with basic plumbing, 1 cold water tank
and
1 hot water cylinder heated by an electric immersion heater, taps are
gravity fed (except the kitchen cold mains tap).

The problem is that the shower head height is less than 10cm below the
water level in the cold water tank and also heating the water is an
issue.

From googling it seems I would need a negative head pump like a ST
monsoon to deal with the head height. But what about heating the
water?

What's wrong with the immersion heater for heating the water?

There nothing wrong with it, except I was kinda thinking along the lines
of something that you could have an 'instant' shower with.

How about doing what all people do in flats and fit a combi.


I've just looked up about electric combi boilers, it seems this is what
I would need, assuming it pumps out hot water at a decent rate.

What kW would be needed for an acceptable shower and for running a bath?
(won't be used for heating as there are electric rads here).
I've seen some boilers on discountedheating.co.uk from 2kW to 12kW.

Can anyone recommend any decent plumbers in high wycombe?
