Hey

Can anyone recommend a 9.5kW electric shower with decent pressure for less than £120?

I've seen a Mira Go and a few Tritons but unsure whether the pressure will be any good for that price.

Thanks
 
The pressure is a subject of the mains water pressure, the flow rate is the incoming water temprature and the 9.5Kw of heat avaliable to it and what you consider an acceptable output temprature, slower flow hotter...
 
Yep, if you're looking for a powerful spray, you are really looking at a shower pump to existing hot/cold supply or a shower on a pressurised hot water systems.
Electric showers have a minimum water pressure requirement, but as UKM says, the hotter you want the water, the lower the flow rate.
 
As stated,the pressure,or to state your most important requirement,the flow rate,will be down to the supply.

Remember,you can generate 100psi,with a teaspoon of water every minute. Check flow rate at nearest tap to supply entry,and at shower feed point,this will enable you to assess if individual shower units can reach their full potential,spec wise.

Very boring and pedantic,but 10 minutes spent,with a bucket of known volume,and a stop watch,with maybe other outlets,such as kitchen tap,toilet,etc,on during tests,would save future issues,folk being blanched when a visitor spends a penny...
