In a house?

 

My heart sinks when I find I have been signed in to a B&B with a triton shower.

 

Electric showers top out at 10kW, cost about £1.20/hour to run and feel like an incontinent rat pissing on you, switches seem to burn out regularly. A 24kW gas combi running a shower costs about the same and gives a good invigorating wash for 5 minutes.

Our water pressure at home isn't good enough for a combi and we have the gas off till winter but the 3kW immersion only needs to be on for 30 minutes and the water is hot enough to run a power shower for 5 minutes.

weve got mega presure, that so we had to put flow reducer in, it literly blew the shower oh the wall not good wen yr in it , think its a33kw combi,

If it's a Combi 33kw it should run a shower without any problems at all unless it has a lot of head to get to the shower, but with good pressure that shouldn't be a problem.

We had a pumped power shower and changed to a combi boiler, all we had to do was replace the control unit with a non pumped one and alter the pipework, we didn't expect it to be brilliant but it works nearly as good as the pumped system, and that is with a 30kw system.

You will need some sort of controller though to keep temp constant.

I have a normal gas boiler and a Stewart Turner 4.5bar shower pump . The only danger with it is if you linger a long time the cold tank wont fill in time !

Had one for years working off a combi boiler.
