A Brief Introduction To Bar Mixers & Other Types Of Shower Systems

If you are planning to buy a shower for your home

, you will be surprised to find a wide range of showers in the market. From bar mixers to electric mixers to mixer showers to pump electric showers and digital showers, there is so much to choose from. Here is a brief introduction to the various types of showers to help you make the right buying decision:

Electric shower

Electric showers are the most popular showers because of the convenience and ease of use guaranteed by them. The electric shower is connected directly to the main water supply through a 10 to 15mm water pipe. Cold water gets heated up as it passes through a special heating element inside the unit. This type of shower suits almost every domestic water system.

Mixer showers

These showers are designed in a unique manner so as to mix hot and cold water in a special valve where the desired temperature is regulated before reaching the shower head. The best part about the mixer showers is that they are compatible on both high and low pressure water source.

Bar mixers

These are similar to the mixer showers in their ability to mix existing hot and cold water in a special tap before coming out from the shower head. The showers have in-built feature that allows them to automatically control the water flow rate. In case the tap is opened by mistake, the bar mixer reduces the water flow rate immediately and prevents any accident from taking place.

The bar mixers and mixer showers can be further classified in to two types: Thermostatic bar mixer shower that help maintain water temperature in a selected degree and manual mixer shower where water temperature is determined by the flow of water. In the latter, the water temperature depends on the rising and falling of the water. Because of their advanced features and affordable price, bar mixers are in great demand.

Power shower

Power shower is a modified version of the bar mixer shower. It has an in-built pump that maintains the water pressure and helps increase or decrease the force of spray through shower head. Because of this feature, power showers can be installed even in low pressure water tank or water supply systems.

Whether you buy bar mixers showers or power showers or any other showers, make sure they are compatible with your plumbing system and suit your needs well. A well designed and suitable shower will not only add comfort and relaxation to your bath, but would also enhance the look of your bathroom.
