Power Showers from Aqualisa

Power showers do use more electricity compared to standard showers due to their built-in pump, which boosts water pressure for a more invigorating experience. However, the actual consumption depends on the model and usage duration. Many modern power showers come with eco-settings to help manage electricity and water usage, making them more efficient. While they offer a luxurious showering experience, it's essential to consider the potential increase in energy costs.

Yes, you can install a power shower in most bathrooms, but there are some considerations. Power showers need a gravity-fed water system with a cold water tank and a hot water cylinder. They are not compatible with combi boilers or high-pressure systems. Additionally, ensure you have adequate space for the pump installation and consider the increased water usage and potential energy costs. Always consult a professional plumber to assess your specific setup before proceeding.

Yes, power showers do have built-in pumps. These integrated pumps are designed to boost water pressure, ensuring a powerful and invigorating shower experience even in homes with low water pressure systems. This makes power showers an excellent choice for those seeking a consistent, high-pressure water flow without the need for separate pump installations.

Installing a power shower yourself is not recommended unless you have advanced plumbing and electrical skills. Power showers involve complex connections to both water and electrical systems, requiring precise installation to ensure safety and functionality. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, electrical hazards, and void warranties. For optimal performance and safety, it’s best to hire a qualified professional to install your power shower.

To install a power shower, you need sufficient space to accommodate both the shower unit and its integral pump. Typically, the shower unit itself requires a wall area of approximately 300mm x 600mm. Additionally, the pump needs to be installed either in the airing cupboard or under the bath, ensuring it's easily accessible for maintenance. Adequate ventilation and space around the pump are essential to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance. Always consult with a professional installer to confirm specific space requirements for your chosen model.

A power shower differs from an electric shower primarily in how they manage water pressure and temperature. A power shower uses both hot and cold water supplies, mixing them to the desired temperature while an integrated pump boosts water pressure, making it ideal for homes with low water pressure. In contrast, an electric shower heats cold mains water on demand through an internal heating element, providing a consistent temperature but relying on existing water pressure, which may not be as strong. This makes power showers more suitable for a luxurious, high-pressure experience.

A power shower is compatible with a gravity-fed water system. This type of system relies on a cold water tank, typically located in the loft, and a hot water cylinder elsewhere in the house. The gravity-fed system provides the necessary water flow and pressure that the power shower's built-in pump can boost, delivering a high-pressure, invigorating shower experience. Ensure your home has separate hot and cold water supplies for optimal performance.
