Hi all,
A mate of mine recently asked if i'd upgrade his family bathroom. At present he has a mixer tap off his bath (tank fed) but he'd like a separate shower enclosure and a satisfying hot shower with decent pressure. I'm in favour of a shower enclosure with a 10kw electric shower. I notice as the market shifts towards digital remote electric showers, there are very good deals on the more traditional wall box electrics - specifically the Aqualisa Quartz which looks just the job.Have a nasty feeling he's willing to spend 300 quid extra not to have a box on the wall but my real question is: Can I change the head supplied with the shower for, say a 8" 'rain' style head? What might be the issues here? I understand I need a 45 or 50A circuit installed on the consumer unit, a 10mm2 cable and isolator pull switch fitted in zone 3 which is all straightforward enough.
Alternatively, are the digitals worth the enormous expense and do they all run off a mains spur, presumably up in the loft?
I thank you!
