Electric shower + electric water heater

[gijno]

Hello, I'm looking to remove cilynder and tank from storage (I want to have empy space there not the cylinder) and I've found one solution on the web, I would like to know if it can be a good one or if it is faulty.

I live in a flat, electricy only, no gas, water pressure around 2 bar.

I would like to put this electric shower

Aqualisa Quartz Graphite Electric Shower 10.5KW

and to heat water for sink in the kitchen and sink + bidet in the bathroom I've seen this water heater (of course I'm gonna buy two of them, on for the kitchen and one for the bathroom)

Redring Powerstream 12KW

If I'm not wrong everything should be used with mains, isn't it? That means I can get rid of cylinder isn't it?

Thanks for your help 🙂

One more question guys... small unvented hot water cylinder uses water from the mains, isn't it? Actually I have a very good pressure for cold water (about 2 bar)... will I have good water pressure even for hot water?

Yes. ,,,

Reading on the web some info about unvented hot water cylinder i've read that they can be risky... is it true? or they are safe?

They are safe only if installed properly by someone who knows what they're doing and holds the g3 qualification.

Is there a list where I can have a look at plumbers with G3 qualification nearby my area?

Followed your link to this bidet, if this is the one that you have installed then you will not be able to have a mains water supply feeding it. (Water Regs 1999)

Hello Chris, thanks for your reply. I do not have installed any bidet yet, I'm still looking for the best solution. Can you please explain me your pic?

No, not easily. Ask the plumber who you employ. It can only have taps, no hoses or sprays.
