We are in the process of redoing our bathroom and I have to replace the weedy electric shower with something that has enough ooomph to wake me up in the morning and get me clean after my mountain biking!!!
I have searched this forum and can't seem to find an answer to my problem so hope someone can help.
We currently have a combi boiler for the heating system but the shower, as mentioned, is electric.
The combi does a great job of heating the house but it does not seem to produce much flow from the hot taps - especially the bath takes which ages to fill up. Therefore I was concerned about my plans to run the shower from the same boiler due to the hot water flow rate.
My question bascially is:
- is there potentially a problem with our combi and should it provide good flow to the hot tap (boiler downstairs at the back of the house and tap upstairs at the front of the house).
- will an electric shower come close, or exceed, a good combi shower
- apart from fitting a pump and tank, are there any other options to maximising shower pressure?
Hope someone can help!
