shower mixer
A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water at different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice.
Hello all,
I need advice on a bath tap/shower mixer unit. I have recently moved into a flat where the bathroom comes with a tap/shower mixer unit which has a "diverter" consisting of a button which you pull up to divert the water up through a flexible 'metal' pipe and the attached shower...

Hello. The lever which allows me to switch from shower spray to bath filler tap feels very loose and does not seem to engage when I move it from one side to the other such that I only get the filler tap working and I cannot get anything through the shower head (so cannot wash my hair). All I...

I was wondering if anyone could help me, I have just brought a new flat and the shower mixer is broken, the distance between the pipes is 120mm, any chance someone could suggest where I could get a replacement, the plumber that visited today said that the standard distance is 150mm, thanks

Hi All,
I have an Ideal Standard Bath & Shower Mixer (E0305AA) which has a pressure driven "plunger". Once lifted the water comes out of the shower, rather than the bath tap.
Once the shower is working, to make the water flow through the bath tap, you simply stop the water, and the pressure...

Hello guys,
I am having problems with a shower mixer valve, whenever you turn the valve onto hot, the water pressure drops to a trickle.
I know I need to strip the valve down and investigate, could this be limescale and is the best remedy to leave the valve overnight in descaler?
I know its...

I've found the Crosswater range of Thermostatic Mixers with a 15-year guarantee which seems reasonable - but I've never heard of the brand before - does anyone know if they're any good.
