    Answer title 5
    This is a gravity system with the addition of a booster pump to increase flow to particular taps, commonly used in the shower. The larger the pump the greater the flow rate.

    Answer title 6
    Less common installation, where the hot water is stored under the mains pressure. This requires no cold-water storage in the loft and its performance is dependent on the mains supply pressure. For optimum performance all mixers should be supplied with balanced pressures.

    Answer title 6
    The thermostat mixer value mixes the hot and cold water and reacts instantly to any changes in the supply, ensuring the temperature is maintained to within + or –one degree.
  • top
    Answer title 5
    Thermostatic values work by constantly mixing hot and cold water to a pre-selected temperature, so even if some one else in the house draws off water the thermostat reacts by rebalancing the quantities of hot and cold water to maintain the correct temperature. For convenience, peace of mind and economy all in one, a thermostat is a must.
