My plumber friend informed me that the hot / cold water pressure didn't look enough to run a mixer style shower direct from the hot / cold supply.
We talked about options and arrived at.
1. Electric Shower (Would Rather Avoid this).
2. Lagged hot water tank in loft with electric immersion heater on a timer, then can have power shower or just more pressure (gravity fed prefered option).
3. New boiler (definately not this option)
Does anyone have any information on the cost/efficiency of immersion heaters? Is there any way I can heat (all or in part) the water for my shower from my existing system more efficiently? Perhaps using an electric immersion and the hot water from the boiler to top it up?
Any advice / experience greatly appreciated.
