Looking for a new shower FULL installation
new plumbing, wiring or drainage etc ?
First of all let's look at what water system you have so we can recommend the best shower that works for you.
Identify the type of boiler you have in place and choose the options compatible listed below each boiler type.
Primary Boilers
The boiler usually have just 2 large pipes exiting from the top of the boiler or sometimes from the bottom - Usually a circulating pump and control valves attached to these pipes.
You have a large Vented hot water cylinder + cold water tank above, Usually blue or green cylinder.
If you have a boiler and stored hot water cylinder with a cold storage water tank above (Primary Boiler) then choose one of the options that is compatible with this type of boiler
Fortec type cylinder
- There may be a separate gas boiler
- Usually heated by electric only
- Water tank built in above hot water cylinder
- Cylinder may have blue, green or beige foam insulation
-
May have large red insulted jacket
This type of hot water cylinder is usually found in high and low rise flats Or you have very low mains cold water pressure.
Low water pressure
We use a quick test to establish water pressure... enough for an electric shower, Put your thumb over the spout on your bathroom basin tap and open fully, If you can stop the flow then you surely have low water pressure and would not expect to fit an electric shower - If you get soaking wet then you are in ! There are other options besides electric, get in touch for advise.
Still not sure what system you have ?
