Without boring you with all the details I do not have a hot water boiler or hot water tank in my house and I don't intend to install either.
I have an electric shower in the bathroom (which needs replacing) and a boiling water tap in the kitchen. The only thing I am missing at the moment is hot water in the bathroom sink.
My original intention was to install a small in-line instant water heater under the sink to provide enough warm water for washing hands, shaving etc.
Then I thought as the shower needs replacing why not replace it with a bigger instant hot water heater and use it to supply both the shower and bathroom sink?
Is this a stupid idea or am I on to something?
The shower has it's own 40A CB in the consumer unit. There is space to install the heater in the wall behind the shower (and use the shower electric and water supply). I would have to install a mixer valve in the shower of course. And there probably wouldn't be enough flow to use the sink and shower at the same time which I'm not concerned about.
