Electric Showers & Power Showers
An electric shower heats cold water from the mains as you use it, so it does not depend on your boiler or hot water tank. That makes it a reliable way to add a shower in an extension, a loft conversion or a home with a tank-fed system. With the advent of mains pressure water systems, the necessity for an electric shower is no longer as great as it once was. Despite this, they remain a popular choice for the replacement market, or for situations where simplicity is preferred.
Some of the most popular electric shower brands include Mira and Triton - 2 of the best-known names in the industry with proven track records in providing long-lasting electric shower solutions. For the assisted living market, look no further than AKW, a juggernaut in that particular market, with some of the most stylish and innovative solutions around!

FAQs About Electric Showers & Power Showers
A standard electric shower is adjusted manually and can experience sudden temperature spikes if water pressure changes elsewhere in the house (such as a toilet flushing). A thermostatic electric shower maintains a set temperature automatically and includes a safety cut-out that instantly stops the water if the cold supply fails, preventing scalding.
Electric shower output is measured in kilowatts (kW), typically ranging from 7.5kW to 10.8kW. A higher kW rating heats more water at once. This improves the flow rate and ensures the shower performs much better during winter when the incoming mains water is significantly colder.
Not necessarily. Higher-rated showers draw significantly more current and frequently require targeted electrical upgrades to operate safely. Cable sizing depends on the shower's kW rating, cable run length and installation method -- see our guide on how an electric shower works for full sizing details. A suitably rated protective device (MCB/RCBO) and adequate consumer unit capacity are also required. The existing electrical installation should always be assessed by a qualified electrician before upgrading.
Standard electric showers require a minimum mains cold water pressure to operate safely, and this varies by model, so check the specific product's spec before choosing a unit for a low-pressure property. If your mains pressure is too low, the heating element will cut out. For low-pressure homes, you will need a specifically designed "pumped electric shower." However, these cannot be connected to the mains; they must be fed from a cold water storage tank.
Electric showers only heat the water you actually use during the shower, rather than relying on a boiler to heat an entire cylinder of water in advance. Running costs depend entirely on the shower's kW rating and your current electricity tariff.
