We are planning to install a new bathroom from scratch.
We are doing away with a bath & having a walk in shower. Our present shower in located in the bath and runs directly off a combi boiler.
We are looking at switching to an electric shower. I realise this will cost more to run plus the cost of the shower unit but this leaves us with an alternative in the event of a boiler breakdown which would leave us with no hot water in the house. Also the hot water supplied will be instant rather than the current usual combi delay ------ not a problem for me but seems to be for my wife!
Our water pressure is on the low side and if there is another demand (Washing machine/dishwater etc) it can be very very low.
My question is --------- Can we install a power electric shower without having to have a separate reserve tank in the loft? If so are these products generally reliable?
Thanks
