Are you looking to change your bathroom shower? If you have been out shopping around showers, you may have got shock to see the unlimited collections. Of course, shopping for the right shower valve may swirl your heads. The following tips will help you understand the various types of showers in the market.

Manual Shower Valves – This is the most basic type of shower. Most manual showers have a single lever control that you use to control the flow of the water and the temperature. They are very simple to use and usually are not expensive.

Sequential Type Of Shower Valves – A number of queries keep raising about the usage of sequential shower valves. The sequential valve functions similar to a cooker knob. Turning the lever in clockwise direction will put it off and turning it back will put it on. The full pressure of the valve can be managed at one shot by the sequential valve. The water temperature of the valve can be easily increased on rotating the valves.

Shower Panels – Also called as shower towers, the shower panels are into the market recently. With a single unit of shower panel, you will have everything in order to enjoy a full shower. However, the panel specifications varies with the brand. Some of the common attributes found in most common types of showers are thermostatic valve, diverter, shower head, hand shower and numerous body jets. Shower panels function well during a high water pressure. Investing in a shower pump will help you make the most out of your shower panel.

Electric Showers – Electric showers are basically used to produce warm water. Since these type of showers require only a cold water supply, these don’t require any major plumbing work. These type of showers are widely popular in en-suites.

Power Showers – Those showers with inbuilt pumps are called as power shower. A hot and cold water supply is required for these type of showers. Although, these showers don’t help in heating the water but they help in raising the pressure of the water. However, you could get the water heated with a strong pumping. These showers are ideal for those places with low water pressure.

Shower Valves (Thermostatic Type) – One of the great benefits of thermostatic shower valve is that it helps in maintaining a constant temperature by coping up with the changes in the temperature and flow of hot and cold water feeds. One of the unique features of these valves is the anti-scald safety feature that will help in curbing the water flow when the cold water supply becomes non-operational.

Shower Panels – A recent newcomer is the shower panel or shower tower. This is a single unit that contains everything you need for a sensational shower. Specifications vary but usually include a shower valve (often thermostatic), a diverter, a fixed shower head, a hand held shower and several body jets. Shower panels are easy to install but can require quite high water pressure to work well so you may want to install a shower pump as well.

Shower Valves (Twin) – As the name implies, these valves have dual controls, out of which one controls the water flow rate and the other controls the temperature of the water.

Power Showers – A power shower is basically a shower with a built in pump. A power shower needs both hot and cold water supplies. A power shower does not heat the water; it pumps water through and increased water pressure, giving you a stronger shower. Power showers are ideal where you have low water pressure, perhaps in a bungalow.
