WHICH SHOWER MIXER?

Ideal Standard’s commitment to technological innovation means your daily shower is nothing short of pure luxury. The following pages reveal our extensive range of built-in and exposed shower mixers which can be combined with Idealrain shower kits (see page 134). High or low pressure, thermostatic or manual, shower or over-bath, we have a solution that is guaranteed to deliver.

An installer will help you identify the perfect combination of mixer and shower kit for your hot water system. This page helps to identifies some of the main features to help you compare products.

Idealrain M3 shower kit

THERMOSTATIC This is the safest type of shower. Thermostatic valves maintain a constant temperature irrespective of hot or cold water flow, rate, pressure or temperature. There is no need to continually adjust the temperature setting during showering. For the increased safety of vulnerable users many thermostatic valves feature a temperature safety stop of 40°C or a temperature limit stop which can be set to 40, 43, 45 or 50°C This type of shower relies on the temperature of the hot water system. It does not compensate for variations in hot and cold water flow rate, pressure or temperature. It includes a temperature limit stop with 7 settings to reduce the amount of hot water that enters the mixer. WATER PRESSURE Many users prefer the indulgent force of a shower fed by a high pressure, mains water system. An installer will help you identify your water pressure which is measured in bar * , however this is a simple guide to the different heating systems: Mains water Combination boilers: between 1 & 5 bar. Vented systems: between 1 & 5 bar. Pumped gravity fed: between 1 & 3 bar. Gravity fed Water is stored in a cold water tank in the loft: 0.1 bar. MANUAL
