Default Electric shower help please

The way the temperature is regulated is by reducing/increasing the rate of
water flow. As a result to get a nice hot shower the water hardly has the
energy to leave the shower head. Can anyone recommend an electric shower
which will deliver a good hot flow?


Electric showers all work that way, when the water is really cold. The
only way to improve them is to increase the heat input, increase the
Kw. The more heat input, the more the shower can be turned up and yet
stay warm enough.

Be aware of the fact that a lower Kw shower can not simply be replaced
with an higher rated one without increasing the size of the feed cable,
the MCB rating and perhaps the ratings of the switches/isolators.
