Product Information

So, now you’ve chosen your new shower, and it’s time to get it installed. But how much does electric shower installation cost? The problem with even the best electric shower units is that the installation area isn’t very flexible. There are fixed points that need to be secured, which means installing in a new area, or matching up to the existing pipework is a usually challenge. Mixer showers don’t have their own pump, so won’t increase the flow of water to the shower. This means if you have a weak water flow from your taps, the same will go for your shower. Consist of a bar, either vertical or horizontal, with dials at either end to control the temperature and flow (again, sometimes with divert options). Bar mixers have to be exposed. Who are mixer showers suitable for? Any water system will work with an electric shower, but mixer showers rely on readily available hot water supply, which means you’ll be more limited.

To install the Mira Sport Max, you’ll need an electrical supply rating of 45 amp and a 15 mm inlet connector. Conveniently, when the electric shower recognises low pressure at the shower head (which could lead to abrupt heat increases/reductions), it gives you a warning so you don’t get scalded. Price These costs are for labour only, so you’ll need to account for the cost of the electric shower. Best Electric Shower UK: Conclusion Mira electric showers aren’t as well-known as their Triton and Bristan counterparts. That’s because Mira showers are mainly geared at the premium market, whereas most bathroom merchants focus on cheaper products.The Mira Sport Max 10.8kW electric shower is the perfect middle ground between the Triton Seville and the Bristan Bliss. When choosing an electric shower you need to consider its kilowatt (kW) rating. These range from around 7kW to 10.8kW.

There’s a huge range of showers available to buy and prices can vary wildly. In general, electric and mixer showers are the cheapest, then power showers, while digital showers are the most expensive. If there's hot water and you have a gravity fed system with poor water pressure, you should get a power shower. What’s more, this electric shower features a handy flashing temperature indicator. This means you can see (rather than freeze yourself by feeling) that the water has reached the desired temperature before commencing your ablutions. Shower Head Limescale protection – different manufacturers offer their own solutions to limescale. Typically it’s handled through a phased shutdown in which increasingly cool water is run through the shower once you’ve finished using it. Limescale is a particular problem for electric showers as they have their own heating element which can get furred up and is hard to access. If you’re replacing an existing electric shower with a similar unit then you may be able to do this yourself (as long as you’re reasonably confident at DIY tasks).

But their use isn’t limited to this sort of setup. Even if you have a high-pressure system that delivers plenty of hot water, an electric shower could still be of interest, especially if you’re creating a new bathroom. That’s because it’s often much easier – and cheaper – to connect a new shower to the existing cold water supply rather than rerouting hot water pipes. If you don’t want to go full-on digital with something like the Bristan Bliss, but the Seville is a bit too boring, the Mira Sport Max electric shower offers a fantastic middle ground. And the fact it’s 10.8kW means that in terms of power, it is the best electric shower on this list. Triton electric showers (and similar appliances from top electric shower brands) don’t rely on the boiler to heat water. Instead, they use an internal element, so your boiler can remain idle while you shower. Electric showers take water from your mains cold water supply and heat it on demand, by passing the water over a built-in heating element. This means electric shower units are a great option for lowering your water and energy usage, as ours are 98% efficient. Mira electric showers are proven to last longer, thanks to our revolutionary Mira Clearscale™ technology. Included as standard, it reduces the build-up of limescale by up to 50%, resulting in a longer-lasting shower, and better performance for you. Learn more in our guide to buying an electric shower.

Warranty information (2 year on the parts and 1 year on the labour, as with all Bristan electric showers) Note that this shower is suitable for mains pressures of 0.7 bar to 10 bar.

Spend more and you’ll get more choice, such as eco options that reduce the amount of water used and ‘boost’ features that aerate the water stream to increase the flow rate. There are 6 recommendations below for the best electric shower — so there’s one for every budget. #1 – Triton Seville 10.5kW Electric Shower All Triton electric showers currently have a warranty of 2 years, something you won’t get with cheap brands.They also rely on an external hot water supply, so if your boiler is slow to heat up, your shower will be too. And if your boiler breaks, you’ll be left without a hot shower. If you love the style of the Bliss but want the extra 1kW of power and a more generic design, the Glee is the best electric shower for you.
