Electric Showers

With electric showers cold water direct from the mains is heated by an electric element as it passes through the shower unit, providing instant hot water for as long as you want.

The higher the wattage of the electric shower the better the performance of the shower. There are substantial savings to be made by using an electric shower.

It uses less than one fifth of the water you would use for a bath.

Also you do not waste energy heating stored water because an electric shower heats the water instantaneously as it passes over the electric element.
