some power showers need a large tank in attic to run those showers,i have a mira and triton and when getting the triton in had to get a tank fitted,in a water cut i can still have my shower as tank was full.
that is why he mentioned pressure.

But this one is electric, which will heat the water itself?

Some areas have low water pressure and the electric shower needs a pump in the unit to help keep enough water for shower to run like the mira elite. Those two showers are the same. They get water from a storage tank in the attic.

Other electric showers run off mains water and have no water tank supplying them.

They are suitable for any house which has a stoeage tank, and are wired independently back to your fuse board.
Btw both companies are part of the Grafton group so you should be able to get the shower at the same price, neither are sourced in Ireland Davies bring them in from the UK & supply PJM with them.
