Default Shower Help

I have a Combi Boiler Worcester 28CDI or something, currently I have a
Gravity Fed Power shower, the combi is split to heat the copper tank thing
every day.

Unfortunately due to some home maintance (the missus having a change around)
the tank has wither got to be moved into the roof space or be got rid of.

I have stripped the shower room, and was told that a Combi can not run a
Decent Mixer, upon looking at b&q, this is correct.

Now the crunch question, I can't stand Electric Showers as the flow rate is
not good enough to clean the missus, so will the combi flow rate be also
poor???. Should I go to the trouble of installing a tank and copper thingy
in the roof space and use a power shower, or go for the simple combi mixer
solution????

I will wait all night for your friendly advice

Many Thanks
Phil

no they can't - that myth started with a simple PHP script on a
website that jumbled up the letters The english language is too
varied for that to be successful - it relies on context and experience
in constructing sentences instead, plus there are too many words that
have entirely different meanings with only a single letter change.

combi mixer solution????


Don't fret, the combi will be fine. It will have around 2.4 times the flow
rate of the best electric showers. It won't run a huge multijet panel
shower, but will provide excellent performance on a standard mixer. If you
don't have frequent baths, and don't require multiple showers at the same
time, you have no need for the tank.

Christian.

We've got a Vokera Linea28 (90,000btu combi) running a Mira Excel
mixer and it does it v.nice indeed.

It's a balanced valve so when someone flushes the bog or turns a tap
on there's no change in flow or temperature - you just need to make
sure you have the correct valve installed in the mixer......low
pressure for gravity fed systems and high pressure for combis.

Many thanks.

The boiler I have is a 80,000 BTU so should be ok, about twice the power of
a electric one I hope?? This isn't being too optimistic is it???.

I am puzzled about the showers now, just looking at b&q ( www.diy.com ) I
was assuming the ones marked Combi compatible are the ones to look for???

Thanks again
Phil
