Hi all. Hopefully someone knowledgeable can help me.
I have a condensation boiler, for a 4 bedroom house. The hotwater tank (about 3.5ft tall) is on the first floor and I have a large header tank on the top floor. I have a water pump for a "power shower" for my en-suite shower room. I have no idea how it is plumbed in, but connected to a electronic thermostatic control. That works just fine. I think we can about 15-20 minutes of shower with a full tank of hot water.
The shower in the main bathroom however is next to useless. The water pressure for the hot water is non-existent, and the water is either very hot or very cold. So I thought I should get an electric shower for that room because if I add another pump for that shower there will not be enough water to go round when both shower are in use.
I have had bad experience with electric shower, with very poor water flow. I have been looking at various "electric power shower" where there is a built-in pump. I am not sure which I should get however. Should I get one with main cold feed only (non-pump), header tank cold feed only or hot and cold feed one? The ones I have see are all under £300 mark, which I guess is ok. I have no wiring at present so I will need to arrange for an electrician to do that part, therefore power output isn't an issue.
Thanks.
Adrian
