electric shower

Self-warming bathroom fixture

An electric shower is a shower unit that heats water on demand using an internal heating element, rather than drawing hot water from a tank or boiler.

Common in British homes, it connects only to the cold water supply and heats water as it flows through: The electric shower means we never run out of hot water.

The tradeoff is typically lower water pressure than mixer showers.
