mixer & combi boiler

[igorbab]

Can you put any mixer shower with a combi or does it have to be compatible with the boiler?
Also, does this include the the bar type mixer showers too, and does it make a difference if its not thermostatic?.
Can I tee off the existing hot and cold bath tap feeds?

Finally, can you have a mixer if you have not got a combi and could you put the immersion on then have a shower ?????

Any mixer will go fine with any combi, just make sure it can handle mains pressure.

No need for that. Any tap suitable for mains pressure will hold at any mains pressure. If the mains is excessively high, there will be a pressure reducer on the incoming.

So in fact NOT any, but one that matches available pressure.
