SHOWERS - SHOWERS There are several types of showers available in the UK and the type you choose has a lot to do with the type of hot water and cold water supply that the client has in their house. So I will first tackle the types of domestic water systems most commonly available.
|
|
SHOWERS - Gravity Feed, Vented, or Low Pressure systems This type of water system usually has a direct mains water cold feed. The hot water is provided by means of a hot water cylinder (copper) sited in an airing cupboard and a cold-water cistern (tank) sited either above the cylinder or in the loft.
|
|
SHOWERS - Combi-boiler, Multi-point systems This type of water system has a mains feed cold water supply. The hot water is provided by, an instantaneous gas boiler. The boiler either does both the hot water and central heating ( combi-boiler), or it does just the hot water only (multi-point). With this type of system you cannot use a pump to power the shower. However as the hot and cold water is supplied under pressure you have a pumped system.
|
|
SHOWERS - Pressurized water system, invented This type of water system has a mains cold water supply. The hot water supply is from a hot water cylinder, which is supplied by full mains pressure of 1.7 meters by 5 feet (2.5bar approximately). As with the combi-boiler system you cannot use pump but you do not have to as the mains water pressure makes this a power shower.

SHOWERS - Types of shower Electric, manual mixer, thermostatic mixer and pumped which can be either thermostatic or manual.
