shower

[r.b]

JUst got a house whats the best shower to put in an electric or a really decent thermostatic shower?someone even said a power shower .There are pros and cons with both i know like if the boiler ever goes no hot water anwhere if you have a mixer.If electric yes you Could still have a warm shower.Someone else said there is less to go wrong on a decent thermostatic shower and i know myself electric ones pull switch might go or actual shower might go if i want to rent i will have to weigh all these options up to decide which to go for its a vaillaint combi condensing boiler thats in at the moment which way i decide to go i want a decent shower when i am renting it any advice please?

What's the pressure like?

I don't know what the pressure is like my electricians are coming on the 20th for a full re wire it needs it   .I have decided to get them to put a ten mm t and e anyway to a shower pull switch leave it disconnected out of the fusebox and then it's there if needed even as a backup.Im undecided personally I have always used electric ,im guessing electric ones are more instant heat rather than thermostatic are these more fiddling to get to the right temperature?

personally id go with one from the combi. far superior to electric

 

[Blue Duck]

me too.

is this what you need the 40a 3871 mcb for?

 

[r.b]

No that was a different job completely of needing the 3871.It has hot and cold pipes going in to an old mixer shower already

how many bathrooms you got?

 

[r.b]

The house I have bought has 1 bathroom

I prefer electric if you have the pressure. 

But, a decent thermostatic is superior if you have a good combi.

I have both...........in the same bathroom. Reason is the combi stopped working in the middle of winter for 3 days. Electric heaters and coats kept us warm, electric shower....enough said.
