If you have low water pressure or a gravity-fed water system, an electric shower will make a real difference to your bathroom. Heating and pumping water instantly inside a self-contained system, electric power showers are more energy efficient as they run from a cold-water supply, giving you plenty of hot water on demand at any time of the day.

Deciding on the best electric shower wattage for your needs will depend on the water flow rate in your home. If you have a good sized water tank, a 9.5-10.5kW electric shower will give you a powerful flow of water. If you have a smaller water tank, our electric showers with wattage up to 8.5kW are an ideal choice.Triton has been making showers for nearly 50 years. The brand tends to dominate the entry-level, budget segment of the market, but the company also produces a number of mid-level and premium showers.

The table below shows an example of the different typical requirements for a 7.5kW and a 10.5kW shower.

Electric showers differ from traditional mixer showers as they have their own heating element. They connect to your cold-water supply and heat the water as they run so you don’t have to wait ages for a water tank to heat up, and you can use them even if your boiler's on the blink. If you live in an area with low water pressure, Triton produces electric showers with their own pumps, helping to boost the water flow. There are also thermostatic models that regulate the temperature, reducing the impact should anyone else use the water supply at the same time.

Choose from a choice of classic or minimalist electric shower units with simple push button indicators, or opt for touch illuminated LED power and temperature controls. Find accessories including anti-twist hoses, soap trays, riser rails and shower heads with adjustable patterns. A higher kilowatt shower will have greater installation requirements than a lower kilowatt shower, therefore, you may need to upgrade your shower's electrical system to support a higher kilowatt shower.Not only have we tested the biggest-selling digital, mixer, power and electric showers from Triton, we asked hundreds of Which? members who have bought a shower from the brand how they rate it.
