Hot water electric shower for bathroom

Many homes in Spain have very small electrical supplies, and these can't run UK-style electric showers.

Most people use electric cylinders (that slowly heat up a store of water, and hence need less power), or gas water heaters that heat the water instantaneously on demand (using bottled or piped gas).   

UK shower heater units start from 7.5kw, well above a lot of houses total supply in Spain. You could get in, turn it on, then pop all the house electric trips...

Best way and the cheapest is to have a Gas water heater with battery operated ignition system constant supply of hot water and only use the gas when needed. I have an Ariston which was purchased in Leroy Merlin. You can have the internal or external model. 

Gas has recently increased in price and a Repsol 12,5 bottle will cost you 17.75 I  also do all cooking on a double oven gas cooker and a bottle normally lasts between 45 and 50 days

Brillant was thinking about the gas bottle for hot water . Think I might give this ago thanks.x

Are these hot water system run by gas bottles are they easily installed . Want to arrange one to be fitted for when I come over . 

Any supplier names please.

Would be very grateful for info.

Thanks

there are many types of showers but its not really a diy job especially if gas

Yes . That's why I wanted a supplier to fit as well . Thanks.

Hola   talking as a retired plumber/gas inspector     why do you want an electric shower     if your house could take the current needed

they tend to be slow (water) flow rates      take a look at your  present water hot-water    if you have a good cold water flow rate   

a shower/ mixer tap   works brilliant over here     big bonus any plumber can install one     no need for gas   (just think running costs  installation   and the maintenance cost )        solar heating even works in Spain (wonder why)    that is free after being installed     

ask around Los Alcázares   for a plumber     maybe the post room  can offer you the contact details  of a plumber   

Legally you should have a qualified gas engineer install the boiler obviously of it is located on an outside wall iy would be less expensive as the only entrance hole to the property would be to connect to your existing hot water supply.

The connection is quite simple and would need a copper pipe with an on off valve and any joins must be soldered then it  would be connected to a regulator on the gas bottle.

You would then have to contact a butanol supplier I have always used Repsol they would inspect the installation and issues a contract which obviously comes with a charge but would then make you legal and your insurance company would have no get out if any accident happened because of the boiler.

I have an Ariston which I purchase 5 years ago from Leroy merlin they have similar ones at the moment asking 319.00 euro but on eBay they have the same one from Mediamakt at 149,00 euro? put that link below if you are interested.
