You need a thermostatic shower specifically designed for

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I am getting rid of the header tank and
having the whole house running off the main when I get the boiler
fitted.


Also, take the pump out (have heard of cases where it was
left in, and explodes a few days later with the mains water
pressure).


Interesting. I've still got the instructions knocking about. I'll have
to check if it mentions anything about mains pressure.

is one on sale at Lidl next week for a very good price :-

Not enough detail. You would have to check what's written on
the box and/or the instructions with regards to suitability.

I bought a Gainsborough a few years ago, and that came in
3 types. IIRC, they were equal pressure inputs, high pressure
cold with low pressure hot, and combi/multipoint. Two of them
could easily be converted between by swapping a part, but the
third was completely different inside.

Thanks for the info Andrew, I'll have to look into it further.
