Hi
I recently moved to my new house. I am a fan of powerful shower and unfortunately I found a 8.5Kw electric shower which is not good at all.
Now I have some options and any help would be appreciated:
-replace it with a 10.5Kw if the wiring allows. It costs about £400 including the labor
-replace it with a 8.5Kw pumped electric shower, I dont know if they are good?
-connect it to the boiler. property has a combi boiler which is in the loft and so there is not tank. The cold water pressure is not very good. As the boiler is on the left it seems the piping can be done easier as the bathroom is on the top floor. I dont have any idea about the piping, re-tiling the bathroom and other costs. I assume it should be in the range of £700-£1000.
Also, I assume I should replace the shower with a thermostatic one. And I dont know if there is any way to improve the water pressure on a combi boiler?
However, I assume given the not very good cold water pressure, the combi option will be better than a high watt electric one?
thanks
