Bristan BL3105 B Bliss 3 Electric Shower, 10.5 kW, Black

Product Information

There were more than a couple of our experts who rated this shower as their favourite. It is certainly the best value for money shower based on the RRPs alone. The flow rate is its main downside but if this isn’t that important for you, the Bristan Hydropower 1500 is a really strong choice. Installing an electric shower as opposed to a thermostatic shower can be the best option if there is no existing plumbing. All that’s required to install an electric system is a power supply and the addition of a cold water supply to the shower. If your budget allows, we would recommend choosing a higher kW rated system. This is primarily because the increased water pressure at your desired temperature transforms your showering experience and makes it worth the added investment. Flow Rate – This is a weak point of the Bristan Hydropower 1500. It offers just a 10 litre per minute flow rate compared to 14 litres per minute for our other recommended models. This means it is not the most powerful of power showers out there. But if you live in a low water pressure area, you will see a notable improvement on what you are used too. Low-pressure areas typically only offer a flow rate of 2-3 litres per minute. Warm up mode; set your temperature and once reached the on/off button stops flashing; no more cold starts!

Electric Shower Installation Costs As well as the power shower itself, the Mira Vigour also comes with a showerhead with 4 levels of adjustment, a neat riser kit, and all the fittings you will need. Water that fluctuates in temperature whilst you are showering can be highly frustrating. The fluctuations can be caused by a toilet being flushed or the tap being turned on. If this is something that you find very irritating, you’ll want an electric shower that features temperature stabilisation. It works by controlling the water temperature by the amount of water passing through the system but this does sometimes result in a slower flow of water. Have a shop around, and you should be able to shave off a couple of notes. Buy now Durability [Bonus] The RRP of the Bristan Bliss electric shower is nearly double that of the Triton Seville. However, like a lot of bathroom products, you’ll regularly find them online for less. Buy now Durability [Bonus]Bristan is one of the top shower, tap and bathroom accessory manufacturers in the UK. If you have ever bought a power shower before, there is a decent chance it was a Bristan model.

Like the Bristan Bliss, the Mira Sport Max has a function that combats limescale build-up. The Mira Clean Scale keeps the unit, hose, and shower head mostly free from limescale. This means evenly distributed water temperature, a longer life span, and improved efficiency throughout its lifecycle. Who Should Buy The Mira Sport Max 10.8kW Electric Shower? Power— there’s nothing worse than a shower that can’t deliver the hot water you need. After all, that’s the entire point of electric showers — they’re meant to take this burden off your boiler. And that’s not to mention that lukewarm showers are decidedly unsatisfying. So, we made sure that each electric shower on this list has enough power for a comfortable, invigorating shower experience. To help improve the longevity of the system, some brands integrate a phased shutdown into their showers. This means that the water will continue to run for a few seconds after it has been switched off. The purpose of this is that it allows any water left in the system to drain out, which reduces lime scale in the heater and shower head. Temperature Stabilised and Thermostatic SystemsIf you love the style of the Bliss but want the extra 1kW of power and a more generic design, the Glee is the best electric shower for you. It has a modern design and while it isn’t digital, it has a high kW output which makes it one of the most powerful showers on this list. It is extremely well built and this has helped to make it a popular shower with customers too. It is actually one of the best-selling electric showers in the UK. Limescale protection: This is usually handled by running through phases of increasingly cool water at the end of the shower. It’s a good idea as it protects the head’s inner workings from limescale build-up, which could eventually bring your shower to its knees. Are there any non-essential features worth considering? Mira is another highly regarded power shower manufacturer and the Mira Vigour is their equivalent model of the Triton Thermostatic Power Shower. In fact, these two showers are so similar, it is almost the design alone that you can use to decide between the two. Price – This shower is certainly not the cheapest power shower you will find but it sells in big numbers and that means it is priced really competitively. It also means that you can often find great discounts if you shop around. This is especially true online.

We like the added safety features that this shower offers. The phased shutdown keeps the water running for a few seconds after shutting down to flush out any leftover preheated water. Not only does this improve safety for the next user, but it also prevents limescale buildup, which affects performance over time. Some people just love a power shower. Others find they need one because of the type of boiler they use or the water pressure at their property. Whatever your reason for wanting a power shower, there are lots to choose from, so this guide will help you make an informed decision.Installation Area – The Bristan Bliss 10.5kw electric shower is less flexible than the Triton Seville but still pretty easy to fit. It will bolt straight onto your current electric and water fittings so, as long as you don’t plan to move the location of your shower, installation should be easy and affordable. It’s suitable for mains pressures of 0.7 bar to 10 bar which means it is ideal for almost all domestic homes. A power shower is slightly different. It takes the water from your system but then uses an electric pump to increase the water pressure and create a more powerful spray for you to wash with. What’s more, this electric shower features a handy flashing temperature indicator. This means you can see (rather than freeze yourself by feeling) that the water has reached the desired temperature before commencing your ablutions. Shower Head

Although it may be tempting to buy and install the highest kW-rated electric shower on the market, it isn’t necessarily the best choice. Therefore, before choosing a powerful system such as a 10.5kW unit, you’ll want to ensure that your consumer unit has the required amount of amps to support it. This is a critical factor to consider because failing to meet the load required to run the powerful electric shower may result in power outages. At 10.5kW, it’s one of the most powerful electric showers. So, if you’re looking for a non-digital electric shower, but don’t have the budget for the Mira Sport Max, this could be the next best option from a well-known brand. Bear in mind that this one only runs from a gravity-fed system, and that while it might be tempting to run it from a mains supply you’re more likely to damage the shower than get a boost. Still, flexible fittings make it reasonably easy to fit, especially if you’re replacing an existing Mira Elite shower, and it’s the top model in this niche. Put it in and let that pump do its stuff. You will also get the hose and riser kit thrown in too alongside all the usual fixtures and fittings.Hands-On Expertise & Collective Knowledge: Our team boasts extensive DIY experience and in-depth knowledge.
