Did you know that showers have overtaken baths in popularity? When you’ve stood under a great shower that has excellent water pressure and that is set to the perfect temperature, it’s easy to see why. Read on to find out more about electric showers and power shower fitting.
Which Shower Should I Choose?
Choosing an electric or power shower installation depends on what type of water system you have. If your cold water comes directly from the mains or you have a combination boiler, then you can choose between a mixer shower without a pump and an electric shower.
If you have a gravity-fed system (a cold tank in the attic and a hot water cylinder in the hotpress), you can choose between a power shower, an electric shower, or a mixer shower with or without a pump.
What Is A Mixer Shower?
A mixer shower is usually fed from the mains hot and cold water supply but it isn’t heated: you control this with the mixer tap or knob. You can choose to have your mixer shower fitted with or without a pump, to boost water flow.
What Is An Electric Shower?
An electric shower either has a tank or mains fed feed coming into it, and it heats this instantly, but it doesn’t boost, or pump the water like a power shower does.
What Is A Power Shower?
Power showers are similar to mixer showers, in that they combine water from the hot and cold water supply, but unlike an electric shower, they don’t heat it. The main difference with power showers, however, is that they have a built-in pump, which boosts the water flow. This is a perfect solution if your home has low water pressure.
Electric and Power Shower Installation Costs
It typically costs about €900.00 plus vat @ 13.5% to supply and fit for a brand new electric shower, this includes all the piping for this.
