Wireless Showers? Any good?

Joto_2

Hi Were thinking of replacing our shower with a Triton T300si wireless electric shower.
Has anyone got this shower or can any plumbers recommend it
Thanks

ozskin

yes but not without probs and once you add a whole load of electronics......, just think of modern cars and the costs and make a judgement

Thanks for the advice, do you have this shower or are you a plumber?
The shower looks so stream line compared to other electric showers on the market that I'm sorely tempted

Would you mind telling me what a wireless shower is? It's a concept I've never heard before!

carolinosourus

how strange... thanks!

imho

Yipes look at the price ! Its still going to get scaled up in a few years .

The wireless showers are flush to the wall and the usual bulk ( pump, electrics etc) are stored out of sight in a cupboard, under the bath, loft etc and then transmit to the shower ( or at least that's my unprofessional interpretation.

They are expensive which is why i was asking for some feedback before buying

hi joto have been selling showers for a good number of years, yes there seems to be few probs at the mo, aqualisa quartz was the first entrant so pretty tried and tested but the rest too new to give long term feedback. imho when you have a difficult installation then they can solve a number of probs but i am not putting one in my new bathroom if that helps. a well specified shower specific to the water system unfortunately is increasngly rare these days but will give years of troublefree use, shout if you need any more help

Hi Ozskin
Thanks for the feedback. We don't necessarily have a problem. We have an electric shower in at the moment and we're looking for something a bit neater. I can't remember why but I know when we did the bathroom a couple of years ago we were advised to go electric. I think it was something about having solar panels?
Ideally we'd like a power shower but we were told this wasn't suitable.

ozskin

sounds a bit odd to me, what was the reason for no power shower with solar, if it is the potential excessive water temp there are ways round this. What type of water system do you have, with enough time effort and money few things are impossible.

We have a Triton shower in the ensuite that is flush to the wall but it isn't "wireless" as such, it has been working well for about 14 years ( probably shouldn't have said that LOL)

I remember DH sighing as this was probably the most expensive electric shower on the market at the time:eek:
