Hello all,
In need of some expertise....
I'm installing an upstairs bathroom in my small 2 bed house and would like to know if it's possible to install a thermostatic shower. There is easy access to hot and cold water pipes running under floorboards from a downstairs sink.
I have a potterton flamingo boiler downstairs, a hot water cylinder upstairs and two open cold water tanks in the loft (one large, one small)
The hot water cylinder is 3m away in an airing cupboard in same room as proposed bathroom and thus at same level of proposed shower. (will be putting up a partition wall to make bathroom)
My query is about the pressure of the hot water supplying the shower.
Will pressure for the hot water supply be sufficient as my tanks are in the loft?..or is the pressure dictated by the position of the hot water tank itself and therefore too weak?
If the pressure is too weak is the only alternative an electric shower?
(would like to avoid extra electrical work if possible)
Thanks in advance,
Graham.
