    Hi

    I've been following your threads and wondered if you would be open to a suggestion.

    As you have a cylinder of hot water sitting in a cupboard you could use this for a pumped shower (Aqualisa Quartz.) You would need to extend the CWSC base to take another one and link them together to give 50g of stored water. Pros.No need to raise the CWSC, hot water provided by the (new) boiler and cylinder.No need for serious electrical work. Heating water with the boiler will be cheaper than an electric shower and it will have a better flow rate than electric. Cons. ?Cost?
