Hi everyone
The refurb in our en-suite is going well, we are currently looking at showers.
At the moment the house has an old Icos HE24 boiler downstairs, a hot water cylinder in the bathroom upstairs, two obscenely large black plastic water tanks in the loft (with a small expansion tank)
From the loft we have a cold water pipe running down from the cold water feed to the tank (T junction), that used to be attached to the old electric shower (some aldi special). But, "we" don't want an electric shower as the designs are all a bit naff.
Ripping up the floor, I see 2 x 21mm pipes coming from the water cylinder (same level - about 7 meters away). They are both capped at the shower control level.
I assume whoever put the replacement shower in capped those pipes and whacked in a leccy one (but we can't remember when or why)
At some point we will replace this boiler/water cylinder with a combi.
Based based the water cylinder is on the same level as the shower, I'm trying to work out whether "we" can look at ordinary showers, or carry on looking for a nice looking electric shower.
I have no idea what the bar pressure is, don't really want to go buying one for a single job
* "we" = the lady, the master, the boss, the mrs, the one we need to please!
