OK I think i've made a decision :ROFLMAO: finally!! bascically whilst the stored water tank would be the easiest to install and give me the best shower I just don't think it's feasible for the way the building will be used. I wouldn't want to leave it on all the time as it might not be used for...

@Johntheo5 The new electric supply has been put in SPECIFICALLY so that I can have an instant hot water heater or electric shower put in and not have to worry about KW sizes. Sorry if I haven't got the terminology right but it is a big fat cable, there is no worry on that side, it must be...

erm yes? I think! I asked the builder and he said 20mm...the whole reason for putting it in was to allow me to put in a decent instant hot water boiler, run heaters etc.. so it was meant to be a decent size ?

20mm cable (y)

Hi! how do you find the flow rate for the shower? and do you think it would work with a double headed shower? THanks!

Hi @benwatkins - I've currently got a post on the go regarding this exact same thing!! I had actually seen your original post when researching but obviously hadn't followed it to the end as I've only just seen this update. So this is exactly what I want to do in my outbuilding - except feeding...

Not sure that would work! It's pretty big so to upgrade would mean a huge one! It only runs out if three of us have baths/showers in sequence so it needs time to refill inbetween. The whole point of putting a shower in the outbuilding is that if we do have guests they can actually shower...

thank you for your reply - I just don't understand how an electric heater doesn't just basically do the same thing as an electric shower? :unsure: sorry If I'm being stupid, but I know plenty of folk with 8kw showers which are great... so if I go for say a 10-12kw instant water heater why...

Sorry I meant 20mm cable At this stage I am not going to stop and leave things half finished. So something will be going in. but one can keep saying "it's only a couple of extra hundred" until forever - that's why most people are in debt!! I have set a strict budget now and out of that I need...

@muggles it is a 20A cable running to the building @Johntheo5 I forgot to say that at this stage unfortunately cost is a huge factor as I have run out of money! so as far as I can see a cylinder from main manufacturer is into about £300.... this is why I as hoping to just get away with the...

No - just a cylinder in the main house which is partly why I thought it would be a bonus to have instant water outside for those times when we run out of water in the house and have to wait for half an hour to have a shower! However I am realising that to get a decent shower I may just have to...

erm... I'm sorry I don't know - all i know is I've had the electric board out to upgrade my supply to my house as it is an old property it was only a 60A supply but has been upgraded to 100A. The electrician is then running a big cable underground direct from where the electric comes into the...

@Johntheo5 @CBW - ok - heater wise I was looking at something like this: Electric water heater or Water heater the only manual mixer showers I seem to be able to find are the type that attach to bath taps... can you send me a link to another type? I would ideally like to use the shower riser...

Hi - have an outbuilding going up in my garden, after some deliberation with how to get hot water etc it now has it's own dedicated electric circuit to avoid any issues with overloading the current ring.... so I thought my issues were resolved and I could just get an instant hot water boiler to...

Hmm, I hadn't thought of this .. the only issue is that as it is we have to wait half an hour inbetween showers for the tank to refill... was hoping that by having a sperate supply out there then it might mean we wouldn't have that issue anymore as could potentially use the new shower inbetween...
