Electric Shower choice advice

[gamma1]

Hi all, I am about to replace my ancient 8.5Kw Mira Elite shower which has finally died.
The Mira is a tank fed pumped model with the water connection at the very top left hand side and the electrical connections towards the bottom left.
I am planning replace it with a mains fed shower as there is a convenient feed in the loft above with what I think is decent enough pressure.
What would be the best model of new shower to choose with ease of fitting being the main priority? Would anyone go with another gravity fed pumped shower?

Many thanks for any help.

You are guaranteed a constant flow rate with your pumped electric shower, the mains supplied shower is obviously simpler and quieter but require ~ > 1 bar dynamic pressure at the shower to give ~ 8 LPM to ensure constant flow/temperature control with the stabilising valve.
Its your choice but the Mira pumped shower around here has a very poor reputation, a Triton, either pumped or mains would be a good choice IMO, just check that the particular model you choose has the water&electrical connections as the old ones were.
