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.
