Electric showers have lots of positive when compared to mixer showers.
Electric showers provided hot water instantly and save on water as you will not need to run it until the water comes through warm.
If your boiler breaks down as well you will not have to worry about having no hot water then only time you have to worry is when you have a power cut! You do not need a plumber to install an electric shower.
You can do it yourself.
There should be a template/instruction included in the box when you but the electric shower.
This template will indicate how the shower will need to be positioned.
Mark on the wall where the unit should go.
You need to drill pilot holes in the wall following the marks you have previously made from your template.
A hole needs to be drilled for the copper piping that will link the water.
This hole must be half an inch wide.
The pipe must now be attached to the water and the shower unit.
Make sure cooper piping is used and it needs connecting to the water valve.
The shower head must be connected to the end of the cooper piping and attached the shower unit to the wall.
The electric shower requires a pull switch to turn the shower on and off therefore a hole needs to be drilled through the ceiling.
The pull cord need to be run through the hole in the ceiling and attached to the power source then to the shower unit.
You must ensure a cover is installed for the pull switch.
