Greetings, chaps!
I've recently moved and the house currently has a 10.5kw electric shower. I want to get rid of this (primarily because it has the wrong sized cable and incorrect rated mcb fitted) and replace it with a thermostatic mixer shower.
The one I'm looking at is the Aqualisa Midas 300. The house has a reasonably new (2009) Vaillant EcoTec Plus 831 combi boiler and I was just wondering whether or not it would be suitable in combination with the Midas 300. Flow from the hot and cold taps in the bathroom seems pretty similar (although I haven't checked it using any form of flow measurement) so I'm hoping it'll be fine but thought I'd check things out a bit before just diving in!
Also, the installation guide for the Midas range specifies that certain sized flow regulators should be fitted to the HW inlet relating to the kW rating of the boiler. Looking in the install guide for the Vaillant, it doesn't give a definite rating, just says maximum 31kW. I guess I'm to fit the regulator best suited to the boilers maximum DHW rating, yes?
Cheers, in advance, for any help/advice.
