Help!! Weak hot water and want a good shower!
Reply with quote Thanks

I need help deciding which shower would be best to fit in my bathroom. We have weak hot water pressure and have always had a mixer shower which is linked to the bath taps. I have very good cold water pressure and a cold water tank in the loft. The hot water comes from a cylinder in the airing cupboard which I think is very old. It is a Hercal Coil Indirect cylinder - Double feed and capacity 93 litres if that helps. (It means nothing to me!!)

What is the easiest way to get a descent shower?? Do I install a pump in the airing cupboard and get a thermostatic (we have ripped the tiles off so tapping in pipes would be fine at the mo. OR Do I get an electric shower. Looking for the least hassel and least expensive route (don't mind spending on the shower fittings though!)

Electric shoer can be worse take your pick icon_smile.gif
