Frequently
asked questions
about showers
Q.
What’s the safest type of shower for my family to use?
A. A thermostatic mixer shower because the temperature and
pressure is automatically controlled, preventing cold water shock
or hot water scalding.
Q.
My cold water tank isn’t high enough to give any water pressure -
what can I do?
A. Fit either an integrated power shower or a mixer shower
with a booster pump.
Q.
I don’t want to have any additional plumbing or electric’s fitted
- can I still have a shower?
A. If you have sufficient water pressure you can fit a bath/shower
mixer tap along with a shower rail and spray head.
Q.
What is the most economical shower to install and run?
A. An instantaneous electric shower has low running costs and
can be quite cheap to buy. However, they do require a qualified plumber
and an electrician for installation which pushes the initial cost
up.
Q.
What shower can I use with a combination boiler?
A. Either a thermostatic mixer shower or a pressure balanced
mixer shower.
