New Shower choice ?   
Has anyone heard of a shower unit that connects to both hot and cold 
supplies, but also can heat water if the hot supply isn't warm ?

I can find electric showers with cold feed only, or showers with hot and 
cold feed via a mixer valve....BUT if you've no hot water it's a cold shower 
only.

It's ugly fitting two showers. We have overnight electric water heating 
topped up by an open fire 'back boiler' but if the fire isn't lit it can go 
cool by the end of the day.

Re: New Shower choice ?   
Never heard of a shower like that. Here's a little tip that I have learned 
about showers, chose a make of a manufacturer that has their own service 
organisation because when it goes wrong (they all will) you will be able to 
get it repaired. Triton service is good. Most plumbers and most electricians 
can't fix showers.
You could fit a conventional shower and an immersion heater for use when the 
fires out or at the end of the day.
