Best Performance Electric Shower ? 2024/ 2025

We have fitted many brand electric showers over our 11 year history and one particular brand and model sticks out above the parapet.
For decent solid reliable performance
we recommend our range of standard Mira Sports. We LOVE the fact that they are tested in the factory before shipping, this allows us to fit these with complete confidence.

Our Standard Sport available in 7.5Kw - 9Kw - 9.8Kw

Our Performance Sport - Our Sport Max
We always recommend our Mira Sport with airboost. Up-to 6 litres per minute from our most powerful 10.8Kw Sportmax is equally comparable to the output of a boiler shower !

How about a Sport Max with a Dual Shower Head ?
The ultimate showering experience !

Our Mira Sport Multi Fit will replace all other brand showers.
We will on most occasions need to professionally adjust the plumbing or wiring.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HAVE A 10 MINUTE SHOWER ?

Depends on the kilowatt rating of your electric shower. The table below is based on one shower per day and one person household, total 7 showers per week.

Don't forget the rates on the table above are based on ONE shower per day per person !
Our 9Kw showers tend to be the best compromise between shower performance and running cost.

Expect to pay around £610 per year using our most economical 7.5Kw shower for a 6 person household.

Expect to pay around £737 per year using our mid power range 9.0Kw shower for a 6 person household.

Expect to pay around £879 per year using our most powerful 10.8Kw shower for a 6 person household.

We have a 9Kw Mira Sport for all situations, We have an option to replace any other brand electric shower - Only condition is that there is a 40amp fuse/ mcb on your current shower circuit otherwise we would need our sparky to upgrade to 40amp at extra cost.

Best Electric Shower - Mira Or Triton ?

Always debatable which brand is the best in terms of:

Reliability
Cost
Performance
Ease of fitment

Well I have been replacing and installing electric showers exclusively for the last 11 years and learnt to understand the differences between the 2 major brands... Mira and Triton. Both manufacture these showers in the midlands UK. Both have been around since the mid 70's

So let's start with reliability

Has previously stated I have been replacing and installing electric showers for the last 11 years and I base my thoughts on showers working first time from the box without faults and any call backs after fitment.
I am comparing Tritons T80E and Mira's Sprint/ Jump for this exercise.

The Triton T80 looks quite modern with a lot of chrome embellishments plus the addition of quite a good multi spray shower head. Performance is good. Downside with these are the very short riser rail with a delicate plastic inserts that crack easily if you overdo tightening the rail at the wall, they also necessitate drilling more holes in the tiles. Another issue is the stop start button tends to stick in the on or off position - This usually occurs when the wall tiles are not completely flat. I would rate this shower as average

Mira Sprint looks quite plain with 2 chrome bezels and white shower head. The riser rail is long enough to cover old riser rail fixings without the need to drill more holes. There is no soap tray included which some customers prefer. Installation is pretty much straight forward however a new section of pipe will need bending and fitting in some instances. There have been very few issues with this shower, it has a solid stop start button that has been reliable. The shower head is a good quality unit also the hose seems more substantive than the Triton. I would rate this shower good.

Cost.
Both the Triton & Mira are about the same cost depending who has them on sale.

Performance.
The Triton seems to give better performance over the Mira but only just. However we have had far more issues with Tritons over the years namely sticky buttons and the length of service. We have by far returning customers after only a few years who have previously had Tritons over Mira.

Ease of fitment.

The Triton T80 is a three piece affair that is awkward and fiddly to fit and must be fitted to a completely flat surface or expect trouble getting the three poor quality plastic pieces to fit correctly and the on off switch sticking. I rate this average.

The Mira has simple robust two piece affair with a large front cover and a sturdy on off switch. I rate this good.

If you can look past the blandness of the Mira I would choose this over the Triton any day of the week !

As far as other models from Mira and Triton are concerned I find Triton's range of showers look how can I say it kindly... boring and some look downright odd and not in the same league has Mira models. Mira's Sport, Azora, Galena and Decor look and feel more classy and age very well. The Dual head models not only look good but give an exceptional showering experience.

In conclusion I cannot remember any Triton that stood out except one, I have fitted various models and was only impressed with Triton's Aspirante but unfortunately I found these tended not to last very long with customers complaining with temperature issues. So I would not recommend because these are at the more expensive end of Tritons range and would expect a longer life without issues.

I am not a Mira fanboy... I am judging on what I fit, after all it makes no difference to me what model you choose, I still earn my living, however it does make a difference to me that you are happy with our service and make the right decision based on my 11 years fitting experience.

What about other brands ?
Well they seem to come and go - then re-appear under another name so I would not offer these brands due to parts availability or the manufacturer sticking around long enough to honor any potential warranty claims

Been told you can only have one electric shower per property ? NOT SO

Have Up-to 3 Electric Showers

Perfect for Private Bathrooms

Additional En-Suites

HMO Properties

Large Family Dwellings

Been told you can only have 1 electric shower in your property ?..That is normally the case as 2 electric showers turned on same time will OVERLOAD the fuse board and possibly blow the main incomer fuse... even more likely if that electric oven is in use - Not good !

How does this work ?

Basically we connect up to a maximum three separate electric showers to this specialist panel, the panel is then wired up to your consumer board this allows only one shower to work at a time - So the other two showers will not operate until the user of the first shower has finished showering - First come first served basis, this ensures your property supply does not over load BLOWING the main incomer fuse which would have to be replaced by your electricity supplier.

This Specialist distribution board will only ever allow one shower to run at a time. Making your electrical system safe without any possibility of overloading the system.

Get in touch if you would like a quote for additional electric showers with new wiring and plumbing including our distribution board.

18th edition compliant with five year manufacturer guarantee.
