Hi All,
A friend is looking for a good reliable shower in the 9.5Kw +
range, can
anyone recommend a good make and model?

I've found Redring to be good and the service dept. is helpful.

I try to go for non-electronic models as I've found those to be a bit
unreliable.

I think I would agree - I had a Redring shower for about 15 years and
it never let me down. It was only 7kW though and pretty useless
during the winter (in these Northern climes!), so I eventually
replaced it with a mixer shower working off the combi, but it had
plodded on - the only problem I ever had was with a faulty isolator
pull-switch, which was nothing to do with the actual shower unit
itself.

TBH, I'm always a bit wary of (consumer, anyway) power electronics -
it always seems to be gimmicky.

oops - I meant that the electronic ones are dodgey! A couple of
Gainsboroughs with fancy PCBs controlling about 5 or 6 heaters wrecked
boards about every 14 months - warranty 12 months. I fitted LP,
non-electronic models and they lasted. BTW, the PCBs were £120 ea. in '92!
