Can I run an electric & combi boiler shower at the same

[RuthBanton16]

I am having a shower room built in my house. I already have an electric shower but need another one. Should I have another electric or run one off my combi boiler? I NEED both showers to work well at the same time!!
Sorry but it's urgent I need to make a decision ASAP!!

Thanks guys for all your helpful advice I'm going for a combi - but which one?????!!!!! I've got a Biasi boiler. Water pressure is pretty good, but will have correct reading hopefully tomorrow.

It depends on your cold water mains flow and pressure. Is it good? A combi shower and an electric shower can usually be served from the cold mains with problems. The combi gives a far better shower

yer id definately put a mixer shower in off the combi boiler hot and cold if the pressure seems fine as these are by far the better option.

Go for the mixer off the combi. The Mira Excel is an excellent choice.

You will also have to bear in mind the current draw on your electric supply with 2 electric showers.

2 x 8.5/9.5Kw showers will be drawing approx 80 Amps out of the 100amps that your domestic supply can adequately handle. Don't have 2 showers going when your oven and kettle are on
