Peterborough Shower installs

We install electric showers, power showers, parts and replacement power pumps (most common electrical fault.) We will install and repair any shower, repair mixer valves (most common mechanical fault) and install trays and screens. There are many different showers to suit a range of needs and budgets.

Shower types

There are three types of shower: electric, mixer and power.

Electric showers heat the water as they use it, and so can be installed in all homes. The rate of flow depends upon the time taken to heat the water.

Mixer showers do not have to use electricity and are plumbed only. They are selected for homes they have ample hot water. Pumps can be fitted as extras to give a forceful spray.

Power showers are not needed if you already have a high pressure system.

Home plumbing systems

Your heating system is either one of the following three types.

Low pressure systems
  • You have a cold water tank in your loft.
  • You have a gravity fed water cylinder in an airing cupboard.
High pressure systems
Fully modulating combination boiler or instantaneous gas water heater. A combination boiler, of modulating design.
Un-vented
The hot water is stored under pressure in one cylinder
 

Flow rate of a typical electrical shower unit is approximately seven liters per minute. Flow rate of a typical mixer unit is approximately seven liters per minute (uses existing hot water system.) Flow rate of a typical power shower unit is twelve liters per minute (uses existing hot water system.)
