Electric Showers

Thermostatic
A Thermostatic valve shower connects to the hot and cold water system. As the name implies it uses
a Thermostatic valve to mix the hot and cold supplies to achieve a preferred showering temperature.
The flow rate from a mixer shower is dependent on the type of hot water system in the property and
the available supply pressures. Dependent on hot water supply mixer showers c provide higher flows
than electric showers. Many Thermostatic showers are on offer from Bathrooms in one from NewTeam
Showers, Shires Showers, Pegler Showers and Aqualisa Showers.

It gives an additional boost to your shower and is especially useful it a powerful head of water is
required or if water pressure is low. NewTeam supply a number of power showers.

and flow to the mixer (twin impeller pump) or to boost pressure and flow after the water has been
mixed (single impeller pump). These are available through bathrooms in one from Stuart Turner
