⚠️ Wrong Electric Shower Specified – A Costly Mistake for the Homeowner
I recently attended a property where an electric shower had been installed/recommended that was not suitable for the existing water system.
The property was on a gravity-fed cold water cistern system, but the shower fitted required a supply that the system simply could not provide properly. The result? Poor performance, fluctuating pressure, intermittent hot and cold water, and an unhappy homeowner left needing further investigation and replacement.
This is exactly why it is so important to use a properly trained and qualified plumber, not just the cheapest handyman option.
A cheap job can quickly become an expensive one when the wrong product is specified or installed. The cost of putting it right can be far more than doing it properly the first time.
At Cousins Plumbing and Heating Kent, we take the time to assess the existing system properly before recommending any replacement shower, tap, pump, valve, or plumbing appliance.
✅ Correct product for the system
✅ Proper assessment before fitting
✅ Clear explanation of the options
✅ Work carried out carefully and professionally
When it comes to plumbing, the cheapest quote is not always the cheapest outcome.
