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. -- Paul Giverin British Jet Engine Website http://www.britjet.co.uk |
