Elec showers

[submar1ney]

Having given up the ghost on my mixer shower, i'm now contemplating an elec one. I have good cold water pressure, mains fed. Can anyone recommend a good quality powerful elec shower please. What is the max kW that i can get?

Cheers

powerful elec shower

An oxymoron.
11kW is max I think, which is at 240V. If you have 230V you lose about , er, 8%.
You only get about 4 litres/minute.

For a 10Kw plus shower you will need 1.5bar plus 'working' cold mains pressure at shower connection, if not will go to under pressure warning and switch off!

What does "good" mean, in this context?

If you really wanted to you could fit a 12kW Multiflow, but I think this would be too powerful for you such that the thermal cut out would operate too readily.
