Advice on existing thermo power shower with new Combi Boiler

[Paul_Thomas]

We are just having a new Combi Boiler installed in our extension, we have an existing Showerforce Regal Thermostatic power shower.

Is there any way we can get the powershower to work with the Combi-boiler until I have the time and money to replace it?

(I was wondering about installing a couple of valves on the cold/hot supply to limit the flow. Or perhaps switching off the power to the shower
and allowing it to use the water pressure instead)

Here's the shower if that helps:-

you can't use a pumped shower off a combi

and the water pressure will prob rupture the seals if you connect it direct to the mains supply

Hi Kev

So even with a valve before the shower restricting the flow it wouldn't work?

 

[kevplumb]

no you can restrict the flow but the standing (not working) pressure will be the same

Ok, thanks.

Looks like I need to get a cheap thermostatic mixer shower then!
