I need a shower for the Little Brown Bungalow - which is a well-fitted out rental property. I have wired for up to a 10kW model. The nominal budget is up to £125, but I can stretch it if I need as I saved £250 elsewhere in the bathroom. The shower is mains fed; there is no tank. I am inclined to go Mira / Triton, and I think I want 9-10kW with variable shower patterns. Q1: What is "Airboost"? Is that aerating to use less water? Q2: Is there a major benefit to a thermostatic electric shower? Q3: I think I cannot have a Power Shower in the above setup. Correct (I am not hot on plumbing :-) )? Q4: Can anyone recommend a solid model that will take any abuse and last a decade or two? Cheers Ferdinand

Our (current) house is all electric, on the 'Total Control' system. This means that we have two rates, one for space and water heating, and one for everything else. Currently we heat DHW using an electric immersion, but this is horribly inefficient as the small tank sits in a cold loft space and loses heat quickly. It also leads go a rather unpleasant showering experience. With SWMBO's words ringing in my ears ('dearest sweetheart, might you perchance be able to put your mind towards installing an electric shower, just when you get the chance.'- OK I'm paraphrasing as her actual words are not printable) I would like to install a basic electric shower. Question is- can I just buy a big enough breaker and stick in the existing CU? In our previous house there was a mini CU especially for the shower. I know these aren't that expensive but just wondering if it's needed or not?
