9.5 kW, so it won't retrofit on many older cables

Not at 9.5Kv the UK needs at least 12 for the cold winters. Otherwise
it cold showers in the winter

In my first house we had an 8Kw Gainsborough for many years. Not great! but
with a fine spray is did its job until more powerful ones became available.

It is made/marketed by 'Galaxy'.
They are a pretty cheap supplier, probably 30% cheaper than Triton or
Mira for equivalent models.
I fitted a power shower from them a couple of months ago. Looked pretty
decent, but electric showers are much of a muchness IMO.
If you are after a new shower, then it is good value at £50, but I
wouldnt bother rushing out to buy one just in case you may need one in
the future.
Alan.
