Hi all. My electric shower has recently broken (water squirts out of the unit and the heater cuts out) and I have been advised that I need a replacement (the shower was old and is obsolete now, I think i.e. Triton T60). However, I read on the Plumbworld website that electric showers cannot be run off of combination boilers. Then, on contacting various plumbers, I have been told that this is wrong i.e. that if I had an electric installed without problems previously, then I must be able to have one again. However, the combination boiler I now have was installed just prior to the shower breaking - which has added to my concern that Plumbworld may indeed be correct in stating that electric showers cannot run with combi-boilers. Can someone please clarify for me? I don't want to buy a shower only to find that it is unsuitable for my system. John.
