Hi there, I am looking for one I use to live 15 years in Portugal and would love to buy one of them. Is it possible you can have a name for me for the gas shower with all its contents except the bottle I can get it here. Please and thanks. Hope I do not ask too much and take much of your time.

Wishing you a great weekend.

our old junkers water heater finally gave up the ghost a few months back, we replaced it witha fagor, which was only 250 euros fromTien 21.

we had a minor problem with it, as the flue was not quite right and carbon monoxide sensor kept shutting it down, but that was fixed within a day.

So long as you don't take 6hour showers or tryto use it to heat your swimming pool, they are good and cheap.....the gas is only15.50 euros per 13 kg bottle


p.s. if it is a selfigniter...change the battery once a year.....even if it seems okay

Hi there, Thanks for the info, I presume you still in Spain? If I cannot get it online will then have to come over there or Portugal to buy one. Thanks so much.

We have a gasfired boiler (on bombonas) and it works fine. We have thermostatic controls on both showers one of which is on the floor below the boiler and the other is on teh floor above it. We check the weight of the bottl;e from time to time and don't often get caught out (the last time was yesterday evening when it caught the suegra so that was all right). The same bombona also supplies gas to the stove. if you seem to get low water pressure, check the water filter, so often gets choked with Cal

If you are actually in UK and want to use one there, they are readily available either mains gas or bottled (Calor) which you can set up with a pair of bottles and an automatic change-over so your water never goes cold. The mains water pressure is usually sufficient to not need a pump. Alternatively, you can use an electric directly heated shower (no dead legging!)

I hate those things. I really dislike the thought of being that close to water +240 volts+ being naked (ALAN.... SHUT IT)

It is far better having the source of hot water for the whole house in one place

The thought of it might be a bit daunting but they are extremely common in the UK and I've never heard of anyone being harmed by one. They run at about 7kw though so I think most Spanish domestic supplies wouldn't cope.

IMO the gas fired heaters and extremely wasteful of energy as the bulk of the heat goes straight up out of the flue, we have both and now only use the electric heater unless high demand is needed on demand.
