Types of Showers

Instant Electric Showers, Non pumped: (T80)
Mains fed non pumped shower, the water pressure is determined by your local mains water pressure.

Hint: Fill a pint glass from the cold water tap in your kitchen and time how long it takes. If it takes longer that 5 seconds to fill then a mains water shower is not suitable.

Pumped Electric Showers: (T90)
Tank fed, with built in Pump. If you have a cold water storage tank in your attic, this shower will work fine.

Hint: Make sure your installer connects the water directly into your cold storage tank and not onto one of the pipes.

Pumped Showers: Mixer valve shower with a water pressure pump fitted to it to give you the water pressure desired. This is a tank fed shower.

Power Showers: This shower is also tank fed, however, it has a built in pump and will cost you a lot less that a mixer valve and external pump. It will need an electrical connection for the pump inside, but not a heavy cable like an instant electric shower. Available in white or chrome
