Only last week I fitted a Triton power shower. It was on offer. I would usually fit a Mira.
Both makes are very reliable, with excellent after sales backup.

You'll have the electrical connection there for a power shower (pump). You'll have to fit suitable connectors to make a connection in the unit as electric showers use a heavy 6mm or 10mm cable.
You would also have to change the circuit breaker to a 6 Amp.

The biggest job - with a normal or a power shower is to provide a hot supply. Your electric one will only have a cold supply.

Hi
Thank you for the responses ... Will I still need the additional connectors if there is already an electric shower there?

Is the below shower sufficient?

Thanks

All I meant regarding the electrical connection, is that you wouldn't be able to stuff a 6mm or a 10mm cable into the connector block in the shower. It's made for a 1.0mm cable.
You simply have to "reduce" the heavy cable to a short length of 1.0mm with connectors............. hence the need to replace the circuit breaker with a 6 Amp one.

The Tesco link ............. that's the one Flick. A good price.
