Hi
I have a 3 bedroom house which has just had a loft conversion which has added two more bedrooms and a shower room. I have installed a Triton T80Z Electric Shower (9.5kW). The house has gas central heating throughout and runs off a Vaillant VCW 242E combi boiler. I do not have an storage cylinders nor any gravity feed water tanks.
The problem I am having is that the electric shower is not functioning properly due to the lack of cold water pressure from the mains. Triton have been to inspect the shower and confirms it is a water pressure issue not a faultly shower.
Can anyone advise what options I have please to get this fixed?
1. Contact Thames Water to increase pressure and/or replace water pipes coming into the property? If so, what is this likely to cost?
2. Can I add any type of pump to help feed the shower with sufficient pressure considering I do not have any water storage or gravity feed tanks?
3. Possibility of changing the boiler? If so, which make / model?
Any other options? Appreciate your comments and view/
Regards
Nads
