Hi there,
I recently had some major renovations done at my house and I took the opportunity to upgrade a 9.5kw shower to a more powerful 10.5kw. We noticed the shower would often complain about low pressure - it turns out the mains pressure in our area is very low and the shower is not getting the required pressure at a specific flow rate. I was advised by a triton engineer that a 9.5kw Kito would have worked fine. The bathroom has been refurbished so I don't want to create extra holes in the tiles by installing a completely different shower, so my options are:
1) Buy a 9.5kw triton kito and maybe try to sell the 10.5kw with all of the new attachments I get with the new 9.5kw kito. May work out expensive if I can't sell the 10.5kw kito
2) Buy a 9.5kw heater can assembly and replace the 10.5kw one currently in the shower. Should be relatively cheap to do.
My question is regarding option 2 - is this possible? Should the electronics automatically adapt to the new heater can - I'm guessing the feedback control system that stabilises the water temperature shouldn't notice any difference - with the only difference being a lower flow rate for a given temperature.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
