you will need an r.c.d and a new 40amp circuit (for 8 kw shower) to your consumer unit, plus a seperate earth bonding circuit to the unit, probably better than already connected to your sink, ie 5mm (i think), plus on/off switch outside bathroom or a string switch to the ceiling which cannot be reached from the shower.
The electrics legally need to be done by a electrician if you need to install any of the above rather than replace.
Then a mains water feed not from a tank, useful to have a on/off connector so you can replace unit with out turning mains off.
