    Hey wondering if someone can share their wisdom. I currently have a electric shower with standard shower head, I’m wanting to install a rain shower and also be able to use the normal shower head with a diverter, however all the diverters I’ve come across all seem to be non electric shower related it is possible to get ones that go onto the shower riser?

    The electric shower will only work correctly with a shower head designed for an electric shower.

    Your electric shower can only put out 3 to 4.5 litres of warm water per minute depending on the time of year. Rain shower heads require minimum 9 to 15 litres of water per minute, depending on the size of the head. My own 12 inch rain head needs close to 20 litres of water per minute to give a decent shower. The rain head is too big for the maximum output of the shower. You will need to run around the shower in order to get wet. :)

    Rain shower heads are designed for power showers & not electric showers
