The spray head for my 9.5Kw electric shower needs replacing (O ring internally has given up). I could get one from Aldis for an acceptable price but it says for 2 to 8 Bar. I suspect this is unsuitable for electric showers but could someone confirm that please, or alternatively has anyone used one of these successfully on an electric shower ?
Thanks Rob
IME a household supply under 2 bar you would notice it, average pressure is around 3 bar. At 8 bar you would get soaked by the splahback everytime you turned a tap on.
Most electric showers have a minimum pressure, below which they won't operate, that is around 1 bar.
I reckon 2 to 8 bar would work fine unless you have a really noticeable low or high pressure supply.
Where are you? I have a complete brand new Wicks shower head set going begging. Chrome and white.
Its sounds like its designed for an electric shower..
they have small holes so you get a low flow rate, this requires a higher pressure to give a jet (a fine jet usually).
I would be worried if your mains pressure was less than 2 bar, mine is high enough to explode a watering computer I bought so I had to fit a 3 bar reducer.
