In the blue corner we have the new and improved version of the ever-popular Mira Sport model; the Mira Sport Multi-fit. Boasting a larger shower head, separate power and temperature controls, anti-lime scale technology, optimised summer flow, with KIWA and BEAB endorsement to boot; it\u2019s not hard to see why the Mira Sport Multi-fit has been \u201cmaking waves\u201d since its arrival earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Not to be out-done, in the red corner representing Team Power Shower, we have the sleek and stylish Mira Event. Equipped with thermostatic temperature controls, a \u201cflow boost\u201d feature, individual temperature and flow dials, and rubber nozzles for easy cleaning and available in both thermostatic and manual models, the Mira Event is the perfect power shower for those who prefer to have a choice.<\/p>\n
So which one wins the gold?
\nAdvantages of electric showers are as follows:
\n\u2022 Cost-efficient
\n\u2022 Economical with regards to operational costs
\n\u2022 Only water that is used is heated \u2013 minimal hot water wastage
\n\u2022 Water heated immediately
\n\u2022 Suitable for homes with high pressure water tanks<\/p>\n
Disadvantages:
\n\u2022 Take several seconds to fully switch off after power button is pressed as the water cools down
\n\u2022 Often water does not heat up to same degree as it does with a power shower<\/p>\n
Power showers have the following advantages:
\n\u2022 More power means warmer water
\n\u2022 Water cuts out almost immediately after pressing power button
\n\u2022 Ideal for smaller households
\n\u2022 More extensive temperature control
\n\u2022 Suitable for low pressure water tanks<\/p>\n
And the disadvantages
\n\u2022 Require water to heat up first
\n\u2022 Hot water can run out while showering
\n\u2022 Water heated by gas\/oil
\n\u2022 Uses more water per shower than an electric shower<\/p>\n
At the end of the day both types of showers have their own merits and shortcomings. It all really boils down to personal preference. If you want convenience, environmental efficiency and take long showers, then electric is the clear choice. However, if you crave intense heat and a powerful shower experience, look no further than our range of power showers by leading manufacturers Mira, Aqualisa, Bristan and Triton.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an additional tip\u2026
\nSick and tired of scrambling around for towels when you get out of the shower? Why not consider installing some hooks just outside your shower, ensuring you\u2019ll always have a towel to hand when showering. The hooks will also prove handy for drying bathmats and have the bonus feature of eliminating the need to fold towels again.<\/p>\n
