showers

[brownieddie]

i want to install a shower, i have a combie boiler that is in the loft above the bathroom. Would it be easier to run a connection for the shower from the combie and run down, or should i install a tank up in the loft and use that for the cold feed. Any help will be appreciated.

Depends what type of shower you are fitting.
Personally I would go for a mixer shower that runs off your combi.
Gives approx 9 litres per min and is a lovely shower as opposed to a weedy electric one.
Only drawback is if your boiler goes down and then you are left with no shower.

Ok, if i fit a mixer do i run T of the combi or from the bath?

Keep the feed pipe as short as possible to avoid wasted hot water.
