Electric Showers UK
At Plumb2U, you will find an extensive range of electric showers. Electric showers are shower units that pressurise and heat cold water thanks to an internal heating element. Thus, there is no mix between warm and cold water to get the appropriate temperature. We provide the best-selling brands, such as Triton, Bristan, Gainsborough and Aqualisa, which are renowned for their reliability and overall quality. You can choose between different electrical powers, from 8.5kW to 10.5kW.
Of course, the more power you choose, the more efficient your electric shower unit will be. Note that electric showers are suitable for both high and low water pressure. You can also have a look at our range of mixer showers, digital showers and power showers.
