Give is a whirl and find out. You may want to put on a raincoat -- just in case. :-)

the triton t80 is 8kw it is not repairable .but easy to change over as long as there is a ball valve near to turn the water supply off safety regs now insist on ball valves been connected to all sanitary ware, make sure you put a higher rating wire if you put a 10 kw in, a lot of tritons were just put in with standard 2,5 you need 10m not 6m cable , a lot were put in with 2.5 a bit naughty can cause fires, if you are going to replace make sure you have a couple of 15mm push fit couplings a tee and an elbow, if you had no trouble with the water bar before you should be ok fitting the opel in ,happy times eh,

Water pressure should be fine. There are two things to be fitted to the new shower, your water supply and the electrics. Once it is fitted, if it cuts out, then you need to upgrade the fuse in the consumer box that it is wired up to. Follow the instructions supplied with it.

Water pressure is not a problem. You may need a bigger cable and circuit breaker. Check with a qualified electrician. An electrical shower needs to be installed by a suitably qualified electrician. This is not a job for an average DIY enthusiast.

I'd ask a plumber/electrician - they can tell you and also fit it.
