My installer has just about fitted my new combi-boiler and my HWC and
cold water tank are a thing of the past. The whole house is now on mains
water pressure.
This means that my tank pressure fed power shower is redundant and I
need to replace it with something. I was originally looking at mains
pressure thermostatic mixers but I was initially put off by the high
costs. I then started looking and electric showers but googling through
the archives it would seem that I would be very disappointed with the
flow rate compared to what I've been used to with my power shower.
A further complication is that I would have to fit a new consumer unit
as a 9.5kw shower requires a 40 amp fuse and my current consumer unit
only has a 30 amp fuse.
So its back to thinking about a thermostatic unit. Will a thermostatic
shower give me a similar flow rate to my power shower? Obviously the
11.4 L/minute output of the boiler will be the limiting factor.
