Help with buying new electric shower

natnhay

My creda expressions 500s shower has stopped working.8.5kw
I would like to replace it due to it only being less than 4 yrs old,and my sister has had 3 creda units in less than 4 yrs.(all still in warranty so had free replacements).Lost confidence in creda so could someone recommend which brand and shower to buy to replace old shower,without to much difficulty.

Mira is a good brand, but don't blame Creda. Are you in a hard water area? Electric shower heating elements don't last long in hard water areas.

Had a Triton shower for about 8 yrs before the Creda one.We do live in an hard water area,might look into a Mira 1.

Nice thing about buying the same model again is that it should go straight in without needing changes to the plumbing or electrics (assuming it hasn't changed, obv).

I have a 10.5kW Gainsborough shower which is still going after nearly 20 years (in a hard water area). The previous one was a Deltaflow, but it doesn't look as if they're still making them.

Be careful if you buy a higher wattage shower, you need to check the supply and cable are correctly rated before fitting they may be required to be upgraded.
