Bathroom Mixer Showers

Mixers showers, do as the name suggests, they “mix hot and cold water supplies” to give you the perfect shower temperature every time. They give you control over the temperature, so you obtain a consistent flow of water from both your hot and cold supplies. Unlike electric showers, which rely on complicated electrics, a mixer shower just uses your home plumbing system to provide instant heat and a powerful flow of water. You can use mixer showers with combi boilers, or high-pressure systems, or even an unvented system. Many mixers are supplied with thermostatic valves that help prevent the temperature from suddenly becoming unsafe. With their sleek designs and super-smooth performance, a mixer shower gives you a reliable and comfortable showering experience.

How do mixer showers work?

Mixer type showers operate by mixing hot and cold water so you can enjoy a shower that is at a comfortable and controlled temperature. The thermostat inside a thermostatic mixer shower ensures the temperature is just right, and if the water pressure ever changes, it will automatically adjust. In contrast, bar mixer showers essentially connect directly into your hot and cold water supplies, allowing for a smooth and powerful flow through the shower head. The result is a reliable shower, even if you have problematic combi boilers or other high-pressure systems.
