Pressure Balanced Mixer Showers

Pressure balanced showers usually incorporate a thermostatic control as well. These are some of the most versatile showers on the market today providing a steady temperature and pressure regardless of the water supply. Pressure balanced showers can be fitted to both low and high pressure systems alike taking a supply of hot and cold water. They help provide a shower with an even temperature of water. Unlike a tradition shower, it mixes the cold and hot water together before it comes out of the shower head. This unique process results in a more comfortable shower. There are a few varieties and ways to install these types of showers.

A simple mixer shower needs to have the hot and cold water coming to it at the same pressure. This means the cold and hot water need to come from the same type of source, like both from a mains feed system or tank fed. With a pressure balanced mixer shower, the pressure of both temperature waters do not need to be the same. It is important for a person to know, though, that the mixer shower does not control the pressure of the water, only the temperature. Also if water is used elsewhere in the home the pressure will drop in order to maintain the temperature. The biggest perk of these showers is that they offer a steady temperature. No more hassle with trying to get the ideal water temperature, which also means saving money as less water is wasted.

A mixer shower can be installed two ways. They can be installed outside of the wall in place of a traditional shower unit. They can also be installed inside the wall. The surface mount is best for converting an existing shower, especially if construction is not desired. The inside the wall units are best for new bathrooms where they can be installed with the rest of the plumbing. These are just recommendations, though, either can be installed in both new and old bathrooms according to the preferences of the home owner.

Pressure balanced mixer showers are a nice addition to a bathroom. They are more expensive than a traditional shower head, but the perks more than make it worth the extra cost. These showers provide the most comfortable showering experience, ensuring that the temperature is perfect every time. They also help protect against too hot water, which makes them ideal for homes with small children. A pressure balanced mixer shower can be added onto a bathroom or built into a new bathroom, so anyone can have one in their home.
