WHAT TO THINK ABOUT
Electric, Mixer and Power Showers Work Differently
Electric showers heat incoming cold water, so they can operate independently of stored hot water. Mixer showers use the home's hot and cold supplies. Power showers add pumping within a suitable stored-water system.
- Consider hot water availability
- Check pressure and flow before choosing a large head
- Allow for any electrical or plumbing work
YOUR OPTIONS
The Head and Handset Change the Daily Experience
A rainfall head gives broad overhead water, while a handset is useful for rinsing, cleaning and seated showering. Many people choose both for flexibility.
- Place controls where they can be reached before stepping under water
- Choose an enclosure door that clears the room
- Add a niche or shelf that does not interrupt the shower space
