Which Electric Shower? – Limescale
Electric showers and power showers have something of a reputation for limescale build-up in areas that have hard, or mineral-rich, water. Thanks to innovative features available on selected Galaxy Showers, however, mineral build-up no longer poses a significant problem for today’s electric showers.
If you do live in a hard water area, and are unsure as to which electric shower to buy, consider the Aqua 3000si or 4000si models in our range, which include features such as Scalemaster Protection and Phased Shutdown; these features combined can significantly reduce limescale build-up and increase longevity.
Scalemaster showers work in two ways. They include specially coated heating elements that prevent particle adhesion, and an electrolytic inhibitor which changes the size and shape of limescale crystals, reducing their adhesive properties.

| Phased Shutdown is a feature that allows the shower to flush out any water still left in its system. This prevents water from sitting dormant over important parts of the shower such as the heating element, and greatly reduces the risk of limescale. |
The Aqua 3000si and 4000si models are both Guaranteed for two years against limescale build up and manufacturing faults.
Which Electric Shower? – Finding a Suitable Installer
To save yourself the hassle of dealing with an installer/electrician who isn’t qualified for the job, consider contacting a professional who is a member of a self-certification scheme such as the British Standards Institution.
An important factor to consider when dealing with an electric shower installer is whether or not they will provide a BS7671 certificate when the work is complete; this certificate proves that electrical work has been carried out safely and is essential if you want to sell your house.
