What is the best variety of shower? Well it all hinges on your requirements and also the needs of your family. All types of shower units have advantages as well as down sides it’s just a case of identifying the right shower unit for your requirements. Before you decide on a shower of any description you will have to consider your requirements and also the kind of heating system that is fitted in your property.

The plumbing system is a significant factor when it comes to choosing a shower as several showers will not be ideal for some types of hot water systems. For example electric power showers have to be fitted to a hot water system that has a tank in the attic and an immersion heater (a gravity fed system). This is the older type of hot water system and is usually found in older houses. This variety of system is becoming quite scarce now and a great deal have been replaced with combination boilers. Just before you obtain an electric power shower it is beneficial checking which variety of hot water system you have installed. Mixer valves or mixer showers can suffer pressure troubles when fitted to a gravity fed hot water system and if they do work they will tend to run out of hot water very swiftly.


If you have a combination boiler installed then you can have two types of shower. You can either choose a mixer shower or an electric shower unit. An electric shower can be installed in any residence and the style of hot water system will not make a difference. An electric shower runs independently of the hot water system and heats its own water supply instantly. A mixer shower or mixer valve will work well when fitted in conjunction with a combination boiler as the joint pressure of each the hot and cold supplies makes a superb shower.

The size of your family unit is another factor to consider when purchasing a shower unit. If you have a big family then I would recommend an electric shower or a mixer shower if you have a combination boiler installed in your home. Both theses showers are ideal for a sizable family and can be used frequently. If you have a gravity fed hot water system installed then I suggest an electric shower as power showers and mixer showers will run out of hot water pretty quickly as they count on the saved hot water in your cylinder. Triton showers make some really good cheap showers some under £60.00 based where you shop. One of the shower units that I install on a regular basis is the Triton Samba/Cara it’s a bit basic but it does the job and is well-built.


Triton showers make a wide range of showers suitable for all purposes’. They also produce some excellent cheap showers that are well-built and superb value for money.
