Power Shower

Fitting a power shower means that there is now no need be without the very forceful and rather invigorating experience of a very high water flow rate shower. Built for plumbing systems with low water pressures these stylish showers combine a mixer and an internal pump in one easily installed and compact unit. These power showers have been designed and made not only to boost performance but also to enhance and compliment any style of bathroom. Belgravia Plumbers carry the correct tools to fit all appliances.

You can fit a power shower if a combi-boiler or an unvented hot water cylinder is fitted, because there water needs to come from a stored, or gravity fed supply. A Belgravia Plumber works to the current rules and regulations by the regulations and will supply and fit a power shower and arrange the electrical work.
There is no difference in pipework, and it is the same as a gravity fed mixer type of shower.

Power Shower Pros:
Pumped water will provide a very powerful shower and because the pump is internal there is only one unit to install, so they can be quite cheaper.
Pump power is adjustable so you can save water, yet, have a powerful shower when you are in the mood.
The power shower is not affected by other water use at the same time.

Power Shower Cons:
They definitely use more water than the average fitted shower and its water supply is taken from a stored source, so it is possible that you could run out of water if you’re not sensible about the way you use it.
These showers need a positive head, so the water storage tank needs to be located above the height of the shower head, which sometimes may not be possible.

Because they need a power supply for the pump, a qualified electrician will need to fit wiring.
Finally their looks are not that good, being large plastic boxes which can look as though you have just gone and stuck them to the bathroom wall. You need a part-P qualified electrician for the electrical connections.
