So I have an apartment in Dublin city centre that was built some time in the 90s. The sitting room has an electric storage heater and the bedrooms have standard electric heaters.
The water system consists of a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank with a ballcock. The water is heated overnight and the shower is a Mira Essentials with a pump that's fed with hot water from the cylinder. So it's not an instant electric shower - once all the hot water is used the heater / immersion has to be turned on again.
So I want to change the shower to an instant electric - a Triton T90 or similar so I won't have to heat the water overnight.
Some questions:
- can I swap the Mira directly for a Triton T90 - will the pipework be the same?
- I have a dishwasher so I don't need hot water in the kitchen (or bathroom tap). Can I get rid of the hot water cylinder?
- anything else I should be aware of?
