An electric shower takes a cold water feed direct from the cold mains water supply and will instantaneously heat up the water as it passes through the shower.

If you do not have or do not want to use your stored hot water then an ideal solution is to fit an electric shower. The benefit of an electric shower is that it is always ready to use as the water is heated instantly within the shower.

The amount of hot water flow produced by an electric shower depends on the power rating measured in kilowatts (kW). The higher the kW rating the better the flow.

An electric shower requires a 10mm electric cable connection direct from the consumer unit.
