All in all, a great shower for your second bathroom or starter home. With a maximum flow rate of 12 to 18 litres per minute, you’re looking at 96 to 144 litres over the course of an eight minute shower, as opposed to the 64 litres max you’re going to use in a typical 5 to 8 litre per minute electric shower. Of course, you could argue that a power shower will get you cleaner faster, particularly when it comes to rinsing out shampoo, but you need to be realistic. Unless you’re in and out of a shower in a jiffy, your power shower will probably cost you more to run.

Reliability is also crucial, if very difficult to gauge. It’s not so easy to fix or replace a busted power shower, so it makes sense to spend more on one that will last. For this reason, we’ve avoided recommending showers that have a bad or spotty reputation. How much does it cost to run a power shower? All models relating to Bristan bath taps.

There are some minor caveats with this one. Any pipework going in from the side will be visible, although Bristan does bundle a cover, and users complain that it’s a noisy shower.
