Installing Showers: Pressure and Performance
Water pressure and flow are the key ingredients for a fantastic shower experience. A trickle of water will just leave you frustrated and probably running late. For conventional showers fed by an indirect water system, the cold water storage tank should be at least 900mm (3ft) above the shower head. If you find your shower's performing poorly, increase the water pressure by either raising the storage tank or installing a pump.
Installing Showers: Manual Mixers
These mixers are relatively easy to install, either over a bath or in a standing shower. They must be independently supplied with hot and cold water, as the single lever controls both the temperature and flow of the water. Take into consideration that ceramic disc Ceramic Disc technology incorporates a a multi-port cartridge which is a unique
feature for easy temperature control.
A single lever controls the pressure and
temperature within a unique comfort zone, between 30-45°C. This gives more sensitive control and provides smooth effortless handle operation even at high pressures.
mixers are less prone to hard water scaling. Manual shower mixers can be surface mounted with chromed pipes showing, or flush-fitted with the pipes concealed within the wall.

These are pretty much the same as manual mixers, except they are an excellent safety device for children and the elderly, preventing the danger of scalding or freezing if there is a change in the flow rate. The mixer automatically compensates by reducing the flow on the opposite side, so the temperature remains even. When fitting the thermostatic Thermostatic products deliver accClick and Clean.

Installing Showers: Power Showers
A power shower is a pump-assisted shower that delivers the water at a consistent flow rate and pressure, eliminating the 900mm water storage requirement for a gravity-fed shower. A height of only 75-225mm is needed to start the pump. Connect the cold supply directly to the cold-water storage tank, and the hot supply to the cylinder via a Surrey or Essex flange.

water saving – the user lifts the handle until they
feel a slight resistance. This resistance informs the
user that the fitting is delivering only 50% of its
maximum flow potential. Lifting the handle
