Be careful when buying electric showers in the UK because what’s best for one home is not best for another. This is a not just due to personal choice but has to do with the mains water pressure that you may have in your area. Is your shower water going to come directly from the mains supply or from a tank? Do you need a built-in pump or a separate one? If you buy the wrong shower you’ll wonder why it doesn’t work.
The best electric shower for heating water on demand when your water mains pressure is low or unreliable should come from a cistern that feeds cold water to the shower. This will be connected to a pump to offer even pressure and temperature without scalds or bursts of cold water. The thermostatic pumped electric shower designs sold through Triton are affordable and reliable.
If however you are able to use mains water supply directly, the Aspirante Topaz model, also through Triton, offers thermostatic temperature control and is a lovely console unit that would be great in a modern walk in shower. The chrome wall mounted units are the ones most often chosen for door-less showers. The best choices, if you can afford them, are the shower towers. These tower systems, that may be glass or chrome, are only to be connected to high power main water supply systems.
The most elegant design in an electric shower that resembles a tower designs is the Triton Inscriptions model, which is a glass console that looks good in contemporary glass door-less showers, blending into the modern style with a wall plaque that’s frosted white glass and chrome controls, hose and showerhead. The entire unit is reasonably priced between £116 and £140 depending where you shop. Modern but not glass and chrome? Then try the unit that looks like a natural stone tile when mounted, with just the controls and showerhead being chrome. It retails for about the same price. There’s also a mirrored black glass design, same basic features, but it’s one of the most expensive electric showers (in its class) made by Triton, recommended for showers without doors, and costs £140 to £165.
