Product Information

Cable. The electric cable needs to be big enough. A 6mm cable is recommended for a 7kw shower, and 10mm for a 10.5kw model. There are some professionals who use a 10mm for all fittings because it adds a layer of safety and also means there is less work if you want a more powerful shower later. I got this to replace the one in my en suite bathroom. It a great little unit,nice looking and a doddle to get fitted. No need to move existing pipework or electrics as the unit has multiple inlet points to choose from for each. Even the shower poll fitted in the exiting holes in the wall. All in all a great little shower unit. The head has three choices for water flow. The unit itself is great for low water pressure too." Limescale is the common enemy of the home, but this electric shower certainly has you covered. A rush of cold water at the end of each use doesn’t just protect you from scalding water, it also cleanses the system to help prevent limescale buildup- genius. Electrics. Your fuse box needs to be able to handle the power. A 32A fuse is recommended for 7kw, and a 45A fuse for 10.5kw powerful electric showers. If the fuse is incorrect, you can expect the shower to trip out frequently as the fuse box won’t be able to cope with your power showers.

It comes at a mid-range price, but it has a nice look with modern aesthetics that blend in nicely with your home environment. It comes in three different wattages, allowing you to choose the one that is going to work best for your home and the water pressure available. It also has nice additions, like the soap dish, to make life easier when you are washing in the shower. It was also easy to install, and we loved the fact that you could make use of the existing drill holes when slotting this one into place. Plus, there were several options for the electric shower pipe entry.The controls remain simple, with temperature control as well as one for the settings. There are three power options for you to choose from - low, high, and eco. The power button sits conveniently below them. The internal water guard protects you from scalding, and the flexible hose prevents potentially damaging kinks. It was also quite effortless to install, which made for a pleasant experience that took a lot less time than expected.

Extra Tech. Some electric showers have added tech to make life easier. There are things like audio alerts for those who are visually impaired, and LCD screens that have temperature displays so you can keep an eye on how hot or cold the shower is. The running costs of an electric shower are more expensive than the traditional forms, but they also heat up faster and often provide better pressure.

There is a low-pressure warning light, and an additional display that lets you know when the water has heated up so that you can step into a warm and welcoming shower. Its eco mode massively reduces water usage, and it is also very easy to use even with the tech features. Installation is nice and simple, with good instructions that make the process go faster.
