There are many factors that have to be taken into consideration when deciding on which type of shower to install in your property. The type of shower you end up installing will depend to a great extent on your heating system, regardless of whether it is fitted into a shower cubicle or over a bath. A mixer shower takes cold water and hot water from your heating system and mixes them together to achieve the desired temperature. Most shower mixer valves require the hot and cold water supplies to be of equal pressure. Mixer valves can be divided into two distinct styles, surface mounted and recessed.

A popular thermostatic mixer shower is the Swadling Precis Shower Kit & Extreme Handset. The kit comprises a concealed 3/4″ thermostatic shower valve, 180mm Extreme deluge shower rose with handset and sliding rail kit. At only 1 bar pressure this will give a really satisfying shower at around 25 litres per minute (min 0.5bar). It also features an easy clean shower head, all which is required is; with the shower running simply rub the rubber jets to instantly clear limescale build up. The engineering and performance of the thermostatic technology delivers exactly the required temperature at exactly the right power.
