How does a shower bar mixer work?
A shower bar mixer blends hot and cold water to your desired temperature before it exits the showerhead. It features two inputs, one for hot water and one for cold, which are mixed within the bar using easy-to-use controls. Thermostatic models offer enhanced safety by maintaining a consistent temperature, preventing sudden changes if water is used elsewhere in the home. This ensures a comfortable and safe shower experience, making bar mixers ideal for families.
Can I install a shower bar mixer myself?
Absolutely, you can install a shower bar mixer yourself if you have basic plumbing skills and the right tools. Bar mixers are designed for straightforward installation, often requiring only connection to existing hot and cold water supplies. However, it's crucial to ensure that your water pressure is compatible with the mixer and that all fittings are secure to prevent leaks. If you're unsure or prefer peace of mind, our expert advisors are always ready to assist or recommend a professional installer.
What type of water system is compatible with a shower bar mixer?
Bar mixer showers are compatible with various water systems, including high-pressure systems like combi boilers and pumped gravity systems. They can also work with low-pressure systems, but performance and flow rates may vary. For optimal results, a consistent and adequate water pressure is recommended. If you have any questions about compatibility, our specialised advisors are available to assist you. Your satisfaction is our priority.
Do I need any special plumbing fittings for installation?
No special plumbing fittings are required for installing a bar mixer shower, as they are designed to connect to standard plumbing systems.
