I am planning a re-model of my loft conversion which currently contains two bedrooms to incorporate a new shower room as well. Would welcome some advice on the best plumbing options:
- There is one existing bathroom which is currently served by a 10.5kw Triton Electric Shower (already installed when I bought the house). I have a Worcester Greenstar 8000 Life 35kw combi boiler in place (installed 1 year ago, replacing a 21 year old combi) with a stated flow rate of 12.5ltr per minute. I believe the water pressure is good. Would this be sufficient to serve a Thermostatic mixer shower in the new attic shower room?
- In future I will be remodelling the main bathroom and may get rid of the electric shower if the boiler is up to running both showers? If not the electric shower can be kept in situ in the main bathroom with the thermo mixer in the attic
- The new shower room will be built directly over the existing bathroom. Hopefully it won't be too challenging to extend the hot and cold plumbing up. The existing cast iron soil pipe extends as far as the 1st floor bathroom, I assume this can be extended with PVC and some sort of joining kit to extend to the loft?
- There are radiators already in the attic which will need moving and an additional towel radiator for the bathroom installed. This will mean the boiler will be running 9 rads which I think should be ok?
Thanks
