Power Showers
What
is a Power Shower?
All in one or integral power showers, combine a mixing valve
with a pump in one complete
unit. The valve blends hot and cold gravity fed water supplies
to achieve the showering temperature that you desire, whilst
the pump boosts the flow of water to give a powerful, invigorating
shower. This is all contained within one shower unit that
can be placed within a shower enclosure or over a bath.
Sometimes a simple mixer valve
shower with a separate, remote shower pump is also referred
to as a power shower, as this arrangement can give the performance
of a power shower.
You can usually expect a higher flow rate from a power shower,
than from an electric
or mixer shower.
Power showers are ideal for homes that have a cold water
storage tank and a readily available supply of stored hot
water, but cannot be used if you have a combination boiler.
They are available in both manual and thermostatic models;
the thermostatic valve maintaining an exact temperature, even
if water is drawn off elsewhere in the home.
