My 35 yr old boiler is about to bite the dust, and I've been advised to fit a combi (Intergas Xtreme 36).
I have a cold water pressure if 14l/m, and I currently get 13l/m on the hot tap in the bathroom basis.
I have a direct cold water mains supply with noh hot or cold tanks. I have a mixer shower, and a further electric en suite, which I want to swap for a mixer. I'd rarely use 2 at a time, so I'm fine if I can only get the pressure I want on the shower when being used on its own.
What are my options? I understand the combi will supply between 14 - 20 l/m. I'm presuming this is only above 14 when using the mini storage tank in the combi (presume it has one?).
Will I be able to get what I want as is, or could I fit a pump to boost the mains pressure? Would this then take the boiler rate up to 20l/m?
I'm being quoted about £3k for the total install.
Ideas appreciated
