Just a bit of background before I begin: I’m currently having an extension built with an additional bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Due to the extra capacity required from the heating system I’m removing the hot water tank and installing a Worcester 42CDI Condensing Combi boiler.
I have a couple of questions (bearing in mind I’m not very knowledgeable about plumbing and heating!!!)
1. I’m looking at showers and am going to go for a head and valve. When looking around (and I know you get what you pay!) I see there is a massive difference in price between shower valves. I have picked a manual one (what’s manual?) with built in divertor at £129 that’s reduced from £199 so figure this is decent quality, would that be correct? Also, what’s the divertor for? I see there are some for as much as £499 or so, why is this?
2. For the above boiler, is it likely that the pressure will be good enough without a shower pump?
3. Is the Worcester 42CDIa good boiler to go for, for a 4 bed detached property with 3 bathrooms, bearing in mind that it’s likely that only 1 bathroom will be in use at any one time.
Any info would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance
