Hi Mark would like to get that done too, as sometime if we have showers at night the water is not very hot in the morning.
Does this guy speak English?

Its normal to have a shower fitted this way here, any electrician will do and shower units are inexpensive

I was told the tanks are double skinned with insulation between the layers. I hope that's true.

Yes I think they are insulated. I had to have the large cylinder tank replaced last year and when I looked at the old tank,after they took it off the roof of course, it appeared to have a layer of polystyrene type insulation under the skin. I guess they have to be really because in the winter it would cost a fortune to heat an uninsulated tank.

Yes, thanks for that. I always hoped it was true, though hard to tell when peering up at the roof, eh!

That's good news - I just assumed because of the time it takes to heat the water up & the cost in the winter, it was uninsulated $:-\$

Thanks Mark, 10 or 11 brothers, they must have all the trades covered. Thanks also Jules.

I paid 100tl for mine supplied and fitted - the man was organised by Vartur Estate Agents for me (now Century 21. Quick and no mess - the basthroom wiring looks a bit dodgy but it is switched on and off at the fuse box - I like hot water for cleaning and washing up as well as a shower - whole tank heats in about an hour and stays warm for ages. haven't found it very expensive to use either.

I am glad I paid the extra £12 to not have dodgy wiring and have a proper shower switch, not switching it on at the fuse box.
