Power Showers

Choosing to install a power shower in your bathroom or shower room will truly transform your showering experience from the everyday to the extraordinary! Whilst normal electric showers provide an adequately satisfactory shower, electric showers bring an added oomph element into play to give a really refreshing experience. Electric pumped showers mix both hot and cold water until it reaches the desired temperature and then provides a powerful and forceful water spray through the shower head to give the best shower experience you can imagine! Electric shower power can be yours, providing your home has an adequate supply of hot water storage and good water pressure. Here’s how they work; power showers increase the water pressure from the hot and cold water tanks and amplify the flow of water to give a very powerful and satisfying shower on every occasion. They also comprise a mixing valve which is fitted to the wall of the shower with the purpose of mixing the hot and cold water which is taken from the storage tanks.

By means of an integral pump, the water is forced to the shower head to provide a high-powered shower every time it is used. In order that power showers work effectively in all situations, it is necessary for them to be connected to both the hot and cold water tanks. Using gate valves to connect the electric shower to the water tanks is best achieved by using gate valves as this will ensure ease of access should it become necessary to carry out maintenance or repair to the system. Thermostatic power showers have the added bonus of maintaining a constant water temperature regardless of whether the water supply is being used in other rooms in the home. A correctly installed pumped shower will start to work immediately as soon as the supply to the shower is activated instead of the delay associated with other types of power shower.

In this type of shower, the pump and mixer components are contained in one unit and the mixer valves combine the hot and cold water until the desired temperature is reached, at which point the pump forces the water to flow to the shower head. There are many different styles of showers to choose from with prices ranging from cheap, value-for-money units to more expensive models with thermostats and more sophisticated control panels. Most power showers in the UK are either made in white or chrome materials or a combination of both. It is well-worth choosing a reputable supplier to ensure you get the best possible shower for your bathroom. Although it can be sensible to seek out professional guidance as to the best power shower for your home, installation can be carried out yourself with a little research into the necessary procedures, however for safety reasons, connection to the mains electricity circuit should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician.
