We are looking to renovate one of our bathrooms and I'm not quite sure what shower options are available to us given the current setup...
We have a gas system boiler in the loft with what is (I think) called a Priority Domestic Hot Water system. The boiler heats a vented tank which is gravity fed from a cold water tank in the loft. The main bathroom has a shower fed from a hefty pump in the loft (that makes a right racket and I need to find ways of quietening it down, but that's another issue entirely)
The bathroom we are looking to replace has an awful 1980s-style beige plastic electric shower. Presumably this is fed only from the cold water feed and was done this way so that if someone used all the hot water it was still possible to get a hot shower. It sucks as a shower though, there's flow but we both really love a powerful shower and this isn't it.
So, all-knowing denizens, what are my options? We definitely do not want another ugly electric shower box on the wall in the new bathroom, so that's out. I've looked at the Triton ENVi system but I am slightly unsure if it'll flow enough. I could take another feed from the cylinder and install another pump and make the new shower a power shower as well but gut feel says this is a bad idea and we'll frequently be out of hot water when we need it.
