The Advantages Of Choosing An Electric Shower
If you’ve been thinking about giving your bathroom a much needed makeover, this information about electric showers is especially for you. The chances are that, to cut the costs, you’ve decided to make do with your current shower, but are you sure that you’ve got the right one?
Electric showers can be fitted into any domestic water system, yet they work independently of the system, which means that you can take a shower even when the domestic hot water system is switched off. This is vastly different to the power showers that are available on the market, which simply pump water at high pressure from existing hot and cold water tanks. Cold water in the tank means a cold shower.
When looking for a shower, you should also be aware that power showers cannot be used with mains pressure cold water or with combination boilers. Electric showers can be used in all situations, including with an unvented heating system, and that independence means you can have a hot shower whenever you want.
The independence of the electric shower also makes it very cost effective to run by only heating the water you want, when you want it. With a traditional shower, you need to heat a whole tank of water, which not only wastes the earth’s resources but is very heavy on the pocket too. When you heat a full tank of hot water, you pay for a full tank of hot water; this fact makes it easy to see that an electric shower will earn back its cost many times over.
And if you think that updating your shower takes low priority in your bathroom makeover, just remember all the times your mixer shower has dumped gallons of cold water on your head. Although this is preferable to dumping gallons of hot water on your head, it’s still a bit of a shock to the system. This sharp rise and fall in temperature is an inherent problem with mixer showers because the valves are not thermostatically controlled.
And installation of a thermostatic mixer type shower is costly; far more costly than simply replacing the mixer shower with an electric shower. You could, of course, get a plumber to fit the requisite flange to protect you from sudden scalding but a plumber’s hourly charge will soon add up to more than the cost of a new shower.
We know that, for the uninitiated, it can be difficult to make out which shower to choose. Who wouldn’t be baffled by the different types of shower currently on the market? However, whether you go for a Triton electric shower or a Mira electric shower; an 8.5kw shower, a 9.5kw shower or, a 10.5kw shower, we’re convinced you can’t go wrong by choosing an electric shower.
Now we’ve given you the information, the choice is clear, isn’t it? It has to be an electric shower
