The 5 best electric showers to help you save water and reduce energy
Are you looking for a new shower but overwhelmed with the choice? An electric shower is the best option on the market right now. High energy efficiency and instant hot water reduce your water and energy use. And their design makes it super easy to install and replace your old shower.
But you may be wondering how electric showers work. Well, they use water from your cold-water supply and use the built-in heating element, which heats it very quickly. Once the water arrives at the right temperature, it comes out of the shower head. By only heating the water you’re going to use, electric showers are far more economical. No need to turn the hot water on half an hour before showering anymore!
We are huge lovers of Triton electric showers because they’re masters at challenging the view that electric showers are ugly and bulky. Designed for the modern world, they cater for all kinds of homes. And they each come with a two-year guarantee for extra peace of mind.
