Electric Showers

An electric shower connects to the cold-water supply and uses an internal heating element to warm the water on demand. This means it can continue working independently of your central heating or stored hot-water system. The flow rate varies with the selected temperature, incoming water temperature, water pressure, and the shower’s power rating, so it is worth checking your household supply and electrical requirements before choosing a model.

Main benefits and common use cases

• Provides hot water without relying on a boiler or hot-water cylinder.
• Heats only the water used during the shower rather than storing a full tank.
• Offers a useful backup washing option if the main hot-water system develops a fault.
• Suits family bathrooms, ensuites, rental homes, guest bathrooms, and replacement projects.

• Power ratings commonly vary, with higher-rated units generally offering stronger flow at warmer settings when the supply allows.
