Advantages: Small compact design. When no hot water required uses no electricity. Simple design Disadvantages: Only gives about a 25 degree C rise.
During my gas to electric conversion project I had to consider how I was going to provide hot water.
As I was converting from a gas combi boiler I didn't have a hot water cylinder nor header tank. I therefore was left with two options: unvented water cylinder or an on demand system.
I purchased an unvented cylinder and control gear but was frustrated as the installer had to be specially qualified to fit it, also it has to be checked yearly by a qualified engineer.
I chose a Redring Powerstream due to a number of features which included, not having to wait for a cylinder of hot water to be heated, no standing heat loss as it uses electricity to heat water when required (similar to a combi boiler using gas). As it is about the size of a shoe box it can be fitted in the back of a cupboard. No annual maintenance required. It saves ...

I have just had to go check which version mine is, there is no number, it is just called the Triton Aqua Sensation.
The age of mine? Well, it must be about ten years old now, so I think that qualifies as standing the test of time.
Triton have a very good name in shower circles, or should that be cubicles? and these models can be fitted slightly off the wall so it can be easily tiled after it has been fitted.
Mine is actually a power shower, although in "non power mode" it seems as good as any other make of shower.The thermostat seems to keep the temperature just right, you just "dial up" the temp you want, and the whole thing is easy to keep clean.
I have heard that showers can be noisy, but not in this case, the only place there is any real noise is in the shower itself, and you are only in there for a matter ...
Advantages: Simple to use, ample shower power and neat looking Disadvantages: none for the price although it does feel a little too 'plastic' when installing
A while back I was given a new shower, still in its box, which was nice, and as the shower I already had in my bathroom was put there by William the Conqueror I decided to install this brand new freebie, even if it was supposed to be a temporary matter. But after a few uses I realised that this was quite a good little shower and well worth leaving in for quite a while, or until it broke anyway.
The shower in question is the Gainsborough Electricshower, which is a brilliant white colour and comes in a few power ratings, ranging from a 7.5KW to a hefty 10.5KW, but the one I am reviewing is the 8.5KW at 240 volts, power rating option ( albeit 7.8KW at 230 volts).
NOTE:
The higher the KW of the shower the more likely you will have to have your wiring and plumbing changed, although 8.5KW is more the norm for most houses ...
