Power showers
Power showers are a joy to experience and can provide a
really invigorating start to the day. We have installed a
huge variety of showers in all sorts of bathrooms and shower
units from large designer bathrooms to small shower
cubicles. We will have one that is just right for your space
and budget.
Most people know what they mean when they
talk about power showers, but many do not understand the
basis for achieving a really good power shower. Often it is
thought that the pressure of the shower is paramount,
however, this is not the case. It is true, that for a decent
power shower, a certain degree of water pressure is
necessary, however, the flow of water through a power
shower, is far more important for a pleasant showering
experience. Many of the modern power shower controls and
heads require very high rates of water flow to operate
properly, this is where the design of the water supply
system is so vital. It is no good installing a top of the
range power shower setup, with body jets and deluge head, if
the water supply system can only cope with a modest, basic
mixer shower. We often find that upgrading the hot water
system, usually to an unvented storage system, is the best
solution to provide the required water flow and pressure for
a modern power shower. There are however many excellent
booster pumps on the market, some of which can cope with
multiple power shower outlets. It may also be necessary to
upgrade the incoming cold water mains pipe to ensure
satisfactory operation of the power shower. Other important
factors involve containing the water discharged from a power
shower, this requires a high quality enclosure or screen,
and making sure the waste water discharge pipe work can cope
with the flow from the power shower. Correct choice of the
shower valve and associated accessories and components is
also key to ensuring a great power shower, we are happy to
advise on these issues..
