Showers are one of the necessities in any bathroom but there are a number of factors that distinguish different showers to others. There is a variety of showers available which include electric, power, digital or mixers. The first thing you will need to take into account is the practicality of a shower includes the water pressure and boiler type in your plumbing system. Also, you will need to select a shower that is suitable to the people living in your house, for example, if several people use the water supply at once. Electric showers are the most common shower choice and they heat water as you go which means you only need a cold water supply working without the water having to be heated first. The major benefit of electric showers is that it is good for your energy bills since the water is heated in your home when you need it. However, the drawback for the electric shower is the weaker flow than other types but also the potential risk of lime-scale build-up. Power showers work by combining the water from the hot and cold supplies but they also have a built-in pump which strengthens the flow. The power shower is great for homes that have a poor water pressure but it also gives you greater control over the pressure and temperature. The drawback of the power shower is that it uses substantially more water than other types. The mixer showers are very similar to power showers except they only work for a couple of boilers or heaters. Digital showers are the latest innovation in shower technology which mixes hot and cold water to the desired temperature that the owner can set. The drawback of this option is that it is much more expensive to purchase and install than other types of showers.If you require any assistance in selecting a shower which is suitable to your house and installing it, you can contact Plumbers Pinner who are an experienced team of plumbers who are more than capable of helping you out.
