Bristan BL395 B 9.5 kW Bliss 3 Electric Shower - Black/chrome

We have been looking for a replacement electric shower since our Aqualisa packed in recently. Having owned 2 in 5 years (they just seem to break outside the warranty period!) I didn't want another Aqualisa. A quick look in Amazon and found this shower.I purchased this shower due to the fact it was £138 (10.5kw) what have I got to lose? Anyway arrived the next day and started to fit. Very easy to install, I had to drill new holes as the holes from the aqualisa didn't line up. I would say in total it took maybe 45min to fit but that was only because I needed to find some new pipe. Having fitted and now used it for 3 days I can say this blows the aqualisa out the water. Pressure is great, by far the best electric shower I've used. Temperature is amazing, holds well at 42-43 degrees even with other taps or toilets flushing. Other reviews saying it fluctuates may have issues with their water pressures. The shower looks great, the LED is sleek so let's hope it lasts. Hopefully the shower will last much longer than the Aqualisa only time will tell. I would have been happy to pay the full RRP it's that good. Edit 8th July 2023 Just to confirm over 3 years old now and still works as good as it did when fitted. By now I think I went through 3 Aqualisa ones!

Using: The main feature is the LED temperature display - you get to learn your preferred temperature and can maintain it without the fiddling about. Design has no protruding buttons (just rotary temperature setting control) so easy to clean and will look nice for years. Installing: Just standard fit. Comes with a template as to where to drill holes (don't forget the tile drill!). The water inlet has a pressure fitting so easy to fit a copper tube - you can also change the orientation as to which side of the shower to feed the water in - this was handy as I was replacing an old shower and could reuse the existing hold for the water feed. Due to poor mains water pressure, I purchased an additional electric water pump because anyone in the house flushing or using the taps downstairs would risk scolding the shower user - at least that was the case with the old shower. The setup including the pump cost near £200 and is a really decent shower.

This is my third time purchasing this shower. We originally had the Bliss 2 and after a few years the 'high heat' setting stopped working. We then replaced it with the Bliss 3 and after just under 4 years we had the same failure and are now on our third Bliss shower. Overall it's a good shower and looks very slick, but not sure how it compares to other showers in terms of life. We repeat purchased for ease of installation mostly.

Never bought a Bristan before always stuck to the Triton brands, but after many years of them failing just out of warranty, the current one still in warranty they blamed on water pressure and advised an £80 call out charge if it was... so decided to rip it of the wall and try another make. Straight away just looking at the internal PCB you can see that better quality components have been used, the relays in the Triton are from the 1960's. the unit was easy to fit with numerous power and water inlet positions. only problem i had is that my unit must have been dropped as my front panel the spring loaded touch elements had all moved, but simply pushing them back in place resolved the issue. with the Tritons we always had problems with water pressure cutting them out (same 9.5kw units) this problem seems to have gone away with this shower which in its self is a gods send!! It has replaced a £300 Triton shower and far exceeds it in quality and looks, lets hope it lasts longer too.

Bought 2 two years ago to replace pump driven mains showers that were terrible/ noisy. These have never failed, are super quiet, the temp dial works well (sometimes slight delay), powerful enough flow (better than the alleged power showers we had) and look good too 👍

We have had this shower for a good few months, therefore, perfect time frame for honest review. The shower looks stylish and is lovely, easy to use, very easy to use touch buttons, however, water flow is not as powerful as some of the showers (we had different brand and the water flow was amazingly strong and powerful), CAN CHANGE FROM HOT TO COLD WATER IN AN INSTANCE if water is splashed onto shower panel… when I wash my hair, water can splash onto panel and it will/can change from hot to cold and you will realise when your body is shocked with freezing cold water!!! Has happened far too many times not to mention it! Overall it is a decent shower unit, but, there are better ones for the same price of not less. Would I buy it again - it’s a firm NO due to reactive shower panel buttons, changing water from warm to hot or from hot to freezing by itself…

Good but do check your water pressures, easy to use and understand.

It shows you the temperature, it has a support for bath sops and shampoos, 2 different generators to use, it was fantastic. I used the economic mode (1 generator) during the summer, the water wasn't that cold and the generator could heat it up at 40 C, and in the winter I used the normal mode (2 generators). I love, seeing the temperature on the screen was the best part because I know what my ideal water temperature is and I can always set it to that and to add on top the buttons are touch screen and they work fine even when your hands are wet. Best investment, I really recommend it
