  • Replace Electric Power Shower with Immersion

    We are looking at an apartment that has one bathtub run on immersion heat and the other on electric power shower. We would like to only have immersion in use, and want to know, if there is already an immersion installed in the flat, with hot water already running to the tap in the bathroom in question, how much would it cost to replace the electric power shower with a line to the hot water immersion?

    Loft Header Tank

    Hi, My small loft header tank in the loft is overflowing when the hot water/heating is switched on. It’s fine when the heating/water are off, but starts up again when it comes on again. It started with a few drips a few weeks ago to a slow flow now, which lasts for about 10-15 minutes when the heating/water initially comes on and then stops dripping again. Any ideas?

    Mixer tap before electric shower

    We have a cylinder that can run on electric but also gets heated when the oil burner heats the house. However, our shower is electric that means we heat up the water for the shower even if the cylinder is full of hot water. Could a set-up work where a thermostatic mixer tap would get cold and hot water, mix it to say 40C (if there is hot water in the cylinder) and this would feed the electric shower? If the water that come in is warm enough already, it would not need to heat it (or just a little) if it come in cold, since there is no hot water in the cylinder, it would just work as an electric shower and heat the water. I could fit the mixer tap in the hot press right the opposite side of the wall to the shower.
