Electric showers only take water from the mains cold water supply. They heat the water when you turn the shower on, by passing it over a heating element inside the shower - in a similar way to how a kettle works. When you shower, you don't use up and stored hot water - so electric showers are ideal for families and households where there is a limited supply of hot water. Electric showers are always ready to use, any time of the day or night

How do you Improve efficiency electric shower?

The unfortunate answer to this is that you can't. They transfer almost all the heat to the water. The shower unit itself hardly gets warm. It is worth descaling an electric shower if you live in a hard water area as this will improve the heat transfer. Also most showers have only one heat setting which is on full all the time and the temperature is regulated by increasing or decreasing the water flow. Therefore the only way of reducing the electricity usage is to fit a lower wattage shower. However this will have a lower flow and you might spend more time in the shower so making the overall costs the same or even greater.
