A shower mixer is basically a valve that mixes both your hot & cold water supplies to your shower and controls the temperature of the shower. This way you are able to control your shower's temperature, whatever the mood you're in. Some people use them for special occasions such as their wedding shower, christening or baby shower. In this article we will look at some of the things you need to think about before purchasing such a mixer.

There are two types of shower mixers that you have available. You can get a manual one or an electric one. A manual shower mixer basically does what it states on the tin, it mixes the water. An electric shower mixer is more convenient because you don't have to manually switch the water levels whereas a manual mixer requires you to do that. There are advantages and disadvantages with both types.

The most important thing to consider is what type of shower mixer you need. There are basically two types: a full unit which combines both the valves and showers and a single pump shower mixer which are one big valve with two pumps. The advantage of a full unit is that it controls both the temperature and the water pressure. On the other hand, a single pump shower mixer allows you to only control one aspect of the showering experience.

There are also differences between electric showers and manual showers. While both are technically considered showers, an electric shower is not a 'bathroom shower'. They don't provide you with the kind of personal attention you would get with a manual one and they are more suited to people who are disabled or elderly. They provide a reliable and safe source of cold and hot water. An electric shower mixer does not have a seat which means that anyone could easily fall in while using it and that could be dangerous.

The most important consideration when looking at shower mixers is to ensure that the cold water supply is always guaranteed to be reliable. Cold water is the only option when it comes to providing safe showering without the risk of scalding or burning the skin. This is usually achieved through the use of an instant showerhead which is inserted into the mixer's faucet. The cold water is then supplied to the shower head through the use of a temperature sensor. Shower mixers that don't have temperature sensors can sometimes provide very unreliable water temperatures which can cause an instant shower to take ages to get ready.

One thing to look for in shower mixers is how well the valves work. If they leak, the mixer won't be very practical or safe. Make sure that the valves are designed to work with cold and hot water flow and that they are very durable and will not easily rust. Shower valves are also important as they will ensure that the water flow remains constant and the temperature is not affected by outside forces.
