    If its a combi then yes but thats boiler dependent not shower dependent. DHW always has priority with a combi.
    Which is what the OP intends fitting.
    LoL how long do you stay in the shower?

    Cheers
    About 2 to 3 times longer than most people.:D I've always liked long steamy showers.

    Indeed so but anyone reading your post in total isolation might get the wrong idea.

    Thanks for the replies I am still undecided.

    I have a Thermostatic running off my boiler and I personally think they give a better flow etc than any electric shower I have ever used.

    The plumber I have had around so far wasnt keen to fit an Thermostatic shower said I should have an electric one if renting out!

    It can be safer as no electricity involved and would mean less electrical work. Could just change the wired fuses to plug in MCBs..

    I can see the point about if the boiler goes out there is no hot water for the tenants...except boiled in the kettle.

    Any recommendations for electric and Thermostatic shower ?
