New for old -must it be same kilowattage ?

Thank you for answering my previous question.

I read that you can replace Mira Sport Showers new for old (answer to question below) but do the showers have to be the same Kw as I read elsewhere. In other words can I replace my 7.5 kw with a 9 or 9.5 model ?

If the shower has been wired correctly then you should be able to go to a 9.5 kw shower, however you may have to change the fuse.

 

However the only person that can let you know if it has been wired correctly is an electrician.

 

So unless you know for sure, the only safe route is to replace like for like.
