## The Right Shower for Your Water System

A shower that's wrong for your water system is a daily frustration. A thermostatic mixer on a gravity-fed hot water cylinder will dribble; an electric shower undersized for your supply will fluctuate cold every time someone runs a tap; an unmatched pump can make a power shower deafeningly loud.

We assess your water pressure, hot water type (combi, unvented or gravity) and household demand before recommending a shower. Then we install it with proper isolators, secure brackets, neat tiling reinstatement where possible, and full commissioning before sign-off.

We also repair existing showers — failed cartridges, scaled-up heads, faulty solenoids on electric units, worn diverters — without immediately defaulting to a full replacement.

## Real Work Examples

## Common Shower Problems Worth Solving

Most shower complaints — weak flow, fluctuating temperature, sudden cold blasts, low-pressure dribble — aren't the shower's fault. They're symptoms of the wrong shower for the system, or an installation that ignored basic plumbing rules.

-   Temperature jumping when a tap is run elsewhere usually means a non-thermostatic mixer or undersized supply 
-   Weak flow from an electric shower is usually a blocked inlet filter or undersized cable/breaker 
-   Scale build-up halves the life of cartridges and showerheads in hard water areas 
-   Pumped power showers need correctly sized pumps — undersized = no flow, oversized = noise and wear 
-   Mixer showers fed from gravity systems need a minimum 1m head and 22mm hot supply to work properly 

## Our Process

1

### System Survey

We check your water type, pressure, cable run (for electric) and flow rate before recommending a shower type and model.

2

### Supply or Fit

We can supply quality showers at trade prices or install one you've sourced — either way, the workmanship is the same.

3

### Safe Installation

All plumbing isolated, secure mounting, dedicated electrical isolators or RCBO for electric showers (electrician partner for new circuits).

4

### Pressure & Flow Test

Hot and cold pressures balanced, thermostatic protection tested, flow rate confirmed at the head.

5

### Commission & Tidy

Full operation demonstrated, manual and warranty paperwork handed over, work area cleaned, old shower removed.

## Why Choose Conroy

### Right Shower, First Time

Matched to your water pressure and hot water type — no compromise on flow or temperature stability.

### All Types Installed

Electric, manual mixer, thermostatic mixer, pumped power shower — we install them all properly.

### Repair First

Failed cartridges, scaled heads and faulty solenoids are often a £30 repair, not a £400 replacement.

### Trade-Price Supply

Quality showers from Mira, Triton, Aqualisa and Bristan sourced at trade rates if you'd like us to supply.

### Safe Electrics

Electric showers fitted with proper isolators and tested. New circuits arranged via our trusted electrician partner.

### Clean Finish

Old shower removed, tiles protected, no silicone smears — a tidy, professional finish every time.

## Technical Detail

### Electric Showers

Take cold water in and heat it instantly. Independent of your hot water system, so ideal when hot water is limited. Power ratings (8.5kW, 9.5kW, 10.5kW) determine flow — higher kW = warmer shower. Need a dedicated cable and RCBO.

### Manual Mixer Showers

Blend hot and cold from your existing supplies. Cheap to fit but temperature can fluctuate when other taps are used. Best on systems with steady pressure.

### Thermostatic Mixer Showers

Have a temperature-stable cartridge that compensates for pressure changes elsewhere in the house. The standard recommendation for safety and comfort, especially in family bathrooms.

### Power Showers

A mixer with a built-in pump, designed for gravity-fed systems. Provides high flow rate from a low-pressure source. Need correctly sized pipework and a power supply for the pump.

### Showers and Combi Boilers

Most combi boilers can support a single mixer shower comfortably. Running a second hot tap or shower at the same time will reduce flow and may chill the shower briefly. Higher-output boilers (32-42kW) handle this better.
