    Im about to renovate a bathroom in a house we have just bought...At present there is no shower in here.

    We've been advised to put an electric shower in here as it is the only bathroom in the house. Of all the elecric showers, the heads look identical and we like the large ones like below. Is it possible to fit a dif head to an electric shower?

    Looking at that head, you want a decent pressure in the shower im guessing? I wouldn't put in an electric shower. I would get a mixer shower and put a pump on it. Of course you will need to heat the water with an immersion or central heating system. The boiler can heat just the water, doesn't have to heat the house, rads etc. Of course once it has been fitted or modified this way. Its a much better job imo

    yes it is, most connections are standard, however as Davy pointed out, that particular shower would not work very well with an electric shower, an electric shower would not produce enough hot water to supply that shower head to operate as per the link you provided.

    we would def like good pressure...its the cost of this was putting us off but if we want that particular style so we'll have to put in a pump.
