Heater Can Assembly (upto 2011)
Which power rating should I choose?
Many of our electric showers are available in a range of different kilowatt power ratings, ranging from 7.5kW up to 10.5kW - ratings are lower for Instaflow water heating and Instaflow T30i handwash units.
But what does this mean to me?
Basically the higher the kW rating -- the higher the flow of water from your shower head.
For example — a 7.5kW shower giving a 40-degree Celsius shower in winter will deliver a flow rate of around 3 litres per minute. By comparison, a 10.5 kW shower can give 50% more flow from the shower head than a 7.5kW shower. Our short video demonstrates what this difference looks like.
What should I check for before selecting a power rating?
Before selecting your unit's power rating, you will need to check the following;
- Water pressure and flow rate
- Rating of the miniature circuit breaker or fuse in your consumer unit
- Size of electric cable running to your shower.
Why?
A higher kilowatt shower will have greater installation requirements than a lower kilowatt shower, therefore, you may need to upgrade your shower's electrical system to support a higher kilowatt shower.
The table below shows an example of the different typical requirements for a 7.5kW and a 10.5kW shower.
| 7.5kW electric shower | 10.5kW electric shower | |
|
Pressure/flow rate (bar/litres per minute) |
1 bar delivering 8 l/min | 1.5 bar delivering 11 l/min |
| Miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rating (Amps) | 32A | 45A |
| Cable size (mm²) | 6mm² | 10mm² |
How do I find my existing shower's power rating?
You can find your existing shower's power rating (kW) by checking the rating label on the underside of your electric shower unit (near the shower hose outlet). It should appear similar to the below example.

It was easy to buy the shower online, but when it arrived I was not impressed with the box, as it was damaged and easlly opened at the bottom, plus it was taped at the top. I could not call the delivery person back, as the parcel was dropped against my door, they knocked and ran. All of the parts were there, and it seems to work ok.

The shower I ordered was delivered promptly. When I fitted the shower I found one of the blanking covers was wrong. (Two left handed covers instead of a left and right) I emailed Triton which was on a bank Holiday weekend. They contacted me first thing on the next working day and immediately sent the missing part.

Contacted Triton with a model in mind. Staff advised me of another model that they thought would be better for me. They were bang-on. Only quibble is the amount of time spent trying to speak to an advisor.

Triton dispatched the order very promptly on both occasions. The courier failed to deliver the first one, so Triton reimbursed me promptly so that I could reorder. The courier managed to deliver the second one after a delay of only a couple of days.

I had a problem initially as I had paid for a 1 year extension to my guarantee and all details showed only 2 years. I rang the service department and a very helpful lady is sending me hard copies by post which are yet to arrive

The parts store on the website is simple to navigate and easy to order from. Deliver time was as described and part(s) arrived perfectly. The added instruction manual was a brilliant touch, providing a step by step guide to fixing the issue. Not seen this kind of service with spare parts before, so it was much welcomed.
