Shower Type
Electric Shower: Requires cold water only. Water is heated by an electrical heating element for hot water on demand.
Mixer Shower: Includes bar mixer, concealed mixer and exposed mixer. These showers require hot and cold feeds that are mixed and differ by installation style.
Digital Shower: Requires hot and cold feeds. Uses a digital thermostat for precise temperature and flow control.
Smart Shower: Same requirements as a digital shower, but with smartphone and smart home control.
Power Shower: Requires hot and cold feeds and includes an integrated pump to boost water pressure.
Shower Tower: Requires hot and cold feeds into a single tower unit. Includes luxuries such as body jets.
Power (kW)
8.5kW: 6mm² cable size for ≤18m run. 10mm² cable size for 18-35m run.
9.0kW: 10mm² cable size.
9.5kW: 10mm² cable size.
9.7kW: 10mm² cable size.
10.5kW: 10mm² cable size.
For runs longer than 35m, a qualified electrician should assess voltage drop and possibly use 16mm² cable.

Outlets
1 Outlet: One shower head that's either fixed or attached to an adjustable riser rail.
2 Outlets: Two shower heads, one wall or ceiling mounted and one handset, that can be used independently or sometimes simultaneously.
3 Outlets: Three shower functions, typically a shower head, a handset, and an additional feature such as body jets or a bath filler, which can be operated separately or in combination.
Water Feed
Ceiling Fed: Ceiling fed showers use pipework that comes through your ceiling. They can be used with one or two shower heads.
Wall Fed: Wall fed showers use pipework that comes through the wall behind the shower. They can also be used with one or two shower heads and are easier to retrofit.
Supply Type
High Pressure / Combi: These systems use a combination boiler which heats mains pressure water and sends it around your home.
Low Pressure / Gravity Fed: These systems usually use a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder in an airing cupboard.
Head Type
Temperature Control
Manual: Must be independently supplied with hot and cold water feeds. Temperature and flow are controlled by the user.
Thermostatic: Mixes hot and cold water to selected temperature and adjusts to changes in pressure or temperature of the water supply.
Microprocessor: Commonly used in digital and smart showers. Automatically controls flow and temperature.
Pressure Stabilised: Keeps temperature and pressure consistent. Stops spikes when water is used by other appliances.
Style
Range
Components
Installation Type
Exposed: Pipework, showerheads, and controls are on display.
Concealed: Pipework is hidden behind the wall for a minimalistic look.
Cool Touch
Cool Touch: Specially designed shower valves that stay cool no matter the temperature of water. Ideal for children or vulnerable users.
Eco Shower
Eco Shower: includes clever water-saving features such as proximity sensors and eco modes.
