Comments

ive got a combi boiler and a mira combiforce shower, the pressure is fine and it gets up to temp in no time. the shower head has different settings, some more powerful and some for saving water (but still powerful enough). it has a thermostatic control which works well in controlling the heat.0

Hi All,
Its safe to say that last August I bought the house from hell! The shower was wired by the previous people not me (and I now know its a miracle that my daughter and I are still alive). It'd be easier to list everything that's I haven't had to replace in the house than what I have!
The shower's already gone the journey - I had previously replaced the solinoid and a rubber pipe and the pump was going to be another £80 ontop of the £60 I've already spent.
Yesterday after posting this I spoke to my lovely next door neighbour. His son has his own bathroom fitting company. He came round, took one look at it and said what a waste of time/effort and money the electric shower was. He's told me where to go, what to ask for and he's coming next week to fit it and re-tile the shower cubicle. He's said that as there is a hot and cold water supply - I can get a simple thermostatic mixer shower - which will get rid of the need for any dodgy electricity circuits in the en-suite!!
I just want to say thank you to everyone - your advice has been invaluable and I'll be back with another catastorphe soon I'm sureNow Mrs! Still mum though....
