Hi,
I am looking to fit a new shower and wanted some advice on whether certain types of shower were out of the question.
The property is a ground floor flat and currently has;
a) a boiler (above kitchen worksurface) and hot water tank at ground floor level- with hot water pipes run into the bathroom under the floor. b) a cold water header tank, which I think is mains fed - the tank is just above the ceiling and therefore what I assume to be gravity-fed ( the cold water enters the bathroom at ceiling level). c) an electric shower using the cold water feed from the ceiling.
I am looking at mixer or power showers, as a different option and suspect that I will have to pump the hotwater up from the ground level ( about 150cm partway up the wall) to get any sort of suitable pressure at the shower end (or am i wrong)?
I have been looking at the lovely aqualisa range of designer showers. Are they as good in practice as they are in design?
The pumped quartz range has a shoebox processor with built in pump (
So would it make more sense to place the shoe box under the bath and choose a shower with wall mounted controls and run feeds from the bath to the control box( e.g.
Any other thoughts on a suitable choices - i.e. should I just stick with a good old electric shower instead?
Ta very much to any reponses?!
