A \u003cstrong\u003ehigher wattage heats the water more quickly\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means a stronger flow rate at the same temperature setting, or the ability to achieve a comfortable temperature when the incoming mains water is cold (typically in winter). The \u003cstrong\u003e9.5kW\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended if flow rate is a priority or if your mains water supply is particularly cold. The \u003cstrong\u003e8.5kW\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable for most standard installations. Note that a higher wattage requires a higher-rated circuit — confirm with your electrician before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes an electric shower need a special electrical circuit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — electric showers require a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e from the consumer unit (fuse box), protected by an appropriate MCB (typically 40A for 8.5kW or 45A for 9.5kW).

It is completely independent of your boiler, hot water cylinder, or stored hot water supply. This makes it ideal for homes with limited hot water, combi boilers with low flow rates, or as a backup shower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat water pressure does the Aqualisa E1 require?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aqualisa E1 requires a minimum mains water pressure of \u003cstrong\u003e1 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e and is rated to a maximum of \u003cstrong\u003e10 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is suitable for most UK mains-fed installations. If you are unsure of your mains pressure, a plumber can test this before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does BEAB approved mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEAB (British Electrotechnical Approvals Board) approval means the shower has been independently tested and certified to meet British safety standards for electrical bathroom products. It is a recognised mark of quality and safety for electric showers in the UK, and is often required by installers and building control as evidence of compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the 4 multi-fit installation options?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aqualisa E1 offers four cable and water entry positions — cable entry from the right via top, bottom, or rear; water entry from the right via top, bottom, side, or rear. This flexibility means the E1 can be installed as a direct replacement for most existing electric showers without requiring new cable or pipe routes, reducing installation time and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the handset and rail included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Aqualisa E1 is supplied complete with a \u003cstrong\u003esingle mode shower handset\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable stainless steel rail\u003c\/strong\u003e, and hose.
