Hello,
We've inherited an olde style one lever thermostatic shower in our house which has a knightsbridge 24kw combi boiler.
Our shower does not get very warm, and you only get hot water out of the taps at a low flow rate.
We were told by a boiler man that our boiler isn't up to the job and to get a hot shower, we need to block off the cold or buy a new boiler.
We have blocked off the cold by fitting a valve and reduced the hot flow, so our shower is hot now, but the temperature isn't adjustable.
We're wondering - would fitting a new shower unit help at all? Is a thermostatic one the best one to use in this situation? If so, which is the best? What we really need is something that will allow us to increase cold flow to control the temperature.
Or should we give up and just fit an electric shower?
Thanks all for your help.
Anne
