How to Choose the Best Shower for Your Bathroom

by John Smith Learner

There are some unavoidable variables to consider when choosing an electric, power, mixer or digital shower. There are sensible things to consider first, including the type of boiler, the water pressure in your house  and whether some people are using the water source Showers in Christchurch at the time. Buying the best shower for you also depends on how well you feel the flow of water and how important design is to you. Regardless of which method you choose, it's usually worth checking out nearby pipe supply stores to get the best price, which can cost less than the larger chains.

The following are the four main types of precipitation:

1.      Electricity

2.      Power

3.      Blender

4.      Digital

Electric showers heat the water as you do, meaning they only need a cold water source to run and are ready to go, eliminating the need to heat the water first. This can benefit your energy bills as the water is not overheated and is a real bonus if the boiler breaks down.

The downside is that electric showers tend to have a weaker spray than mixer and power showers, although some come with a basic pump to help combat this problem. You should also watch for limescale build-up, a common problem with electric showers.

Power of electric showers is usually around 8.5 kW and 10.8 kW - the higher the value, the more efficient the shower. An electric shower is best installed by a professional, as the highly controlled electrical component must be connected to a separate hybrid circuit.

With a standard electric shower, the water may be too hot if cold water is used elsewhere in your home. Thermostatic electric showers can regulate the water temperature approximately 1-2 degrees Celsius above the temperature you need, so they are great options if people or other equipment use the water frequently during the shower.

Advantages of electric showers

You only need a cold water supply, you don't have to pay for hot water you don't use, it's cheaper to buy than different types of showers in Christchurch and it works even if the boiler breaks.

Disadvantages of electric showers

Mostly weak current compared to other types of showers, limescale formation can be problematic and efficient construction can be expensive.

Power shower explained.

Power showers work in the same way as mixer showers, collecting water from an icy and hot supply. The difference is that powerful showers have a built-in pump. This increases flow – unusual if your home has low water pressure – and also provides better temperature and pressure control than a conventional mixer shower.

Power showers are designed to work with a gravity or low pressure water frame, instantly boosting the flow and creating an extra powerful shower. While running a power shower is less of a hassle than buying a separate pump for a standard shower faucet, they use a ton more water than electric showers, so keep that in mind if you have a water meter.

Mixing shower filters.

Mixer showers connect to the hot and cold water supply, which means they require a combination boiler or immersion heater to provide you with ready hot water. They generally produce a higher ground current than electric shavers. You also get showers and mixers where the temperature and flow are controlled by turning the shower faucet.

While some shower mixers work with one frame or the other, others are designed for high pressure water or low pressure frames - be sure to check this when buying. If your home has low water pressure, you may also consider purchasing a separate pump to extend the flow.

Thermostatic faucets offer improved water temperature functionality compared to standard faucets. With a thermostatic mixer shower, if someone or something starts using icy water elsewhere in the house, the water will be removed instead of burning you - a very valuable safety feature.
