An attic tank fed electric shower (Triton T90XR)

OR

A mains fed electric shower (Mira Advance)

I have both showers here,so Im just curious to know which 1 would work out better with regards future water metering??

P.S-The Triton is a noisy shower,but the Mira is a whisper quiet shower.

Meassure it. You would need a bucket and a watch.

I would say that it's the tank fed shower that uses more water in my anyway it does because it is a power shower the water would take the skin off your back if on full while the attic fed electric shower is not as strong

Electricity would be more of a concern. The flow rate should be listed in the manual. Thus will give you the info you need.
