Thermostatic Mixer Shower - any recommendation?

astreix

Hiya, getting a bathroom refurbishment and thinking of adding a thermostatic mixer shower (with pump). i was looking at the common brands of shower - Mira, Triton, Hansgrohe, Bristan etc. and they all seem to have similar specification, promise the same things, have same warranty etc.

Any suggestions on which brand is better to buy?

Hello KThaker

You said that your looking to add a thermostatic shower with a pump, firstly can I ask what setup you have for your water supply? Do you have a cold water tank able to store 50 gallons (Most pump manufacturers specify this amount as a minimum). If you do have you looked at something like the Aqualisa Quartz or Axis Range? Aqualisa Products they also have a short video clip which explains a little about how they work. Video

I can second the Aqualisa Quartz - we had one fitted in our old house and it was fantastic. We had the shower riser version (the water pipe and control wire run down the inside of the tube that holds the shower head) and all the workings are hidden in the loft (which makes them easy to get at if anything were to go wrong - not that ours did!). Be warned the boost button can't half shift a tank of water - not for a water meter! We've got a combi in the new house so the pumped version we had wouldn't be relevant but I'd certainly look for something similar in their range when we refit the bathroom.
