Bristan Glee Electric Shower

Bristan have launched a new range of electric showers in fact four ranges in total, the Smile, Glee, Joy, and Bliss. I think they have done a very good job with clever ideas that should make them a best sellers.

They are price competitive and look great, they can replace most other electric showers with there 5 point entry for both water and electricity, and they come with a variety of different power ratings.

All ranges come complete with a riser rail shower kit and a hose and handset.

The Smile range is only available in white and with either a 8.5kW or 9.5Kw prices start from just £85.00.

The Glee range (pictured left) has the addition of a digital temperature display and is available in 8.5kW, 9.5kW or 10.5kW prices start from just £110.00.

If you wish to see the complete range on special offer the visit Tapstore by clicking here.

Within the Bristan Capri range of bathroom taps are separate pairs of basin and bath taps, three choices of mono bloc basin mixers standard with or pop up waste, or an Eco-click mixer for water saving, a bath filler and a bath shower mixer.

There is also the Capri mini shower within the range which comes complete with a riser rail handset and hose and can be either surface or recessed mounted with a front plate supplied for recessing.

1, Flow – the more the Kilo wattage the faster the flow.
2, Temperature stabilization – electric showers are quite temperamental and with better quality showers you get better performance control.
3, Looks – you will always pay a premium for a better looking shower.
4, Controls – some electric showers will have knobs to turn and control the shower flow and some will have more expensive buttons which will be electronically controlled.

It is important to note with all electric showers the faster the flow the cooler the water they are essentially an instantaneous water heater so paying more money for a unit of a lower wattage will not be a better quality water flow (Shower).

Within the range there are choices for the basin were you have a standard Majestic mono bloc basin mixer or a mini version of the same taps for cloakrooms, there is also a tall mono bloc basin mixer that really accentuates the slender body of the tap. Crosswater also covers the Majestic basin solution with a three hole basin mixer set.

For alternatives in filling the bath the wall mounted bath shower mixer and a five hole bath shower mixer for deck mounting with a separate pull out handset and hose. Giving you some more options to the range you have separate Majestic bath spouts and choices of either wall mounted panel valves or deck mounted panel valves that can control the hot and cold water flows, there is also an option for a wall mounted hot and cold valves with a separate diverter to switch between two devices such as a bath filler over flow and handsets.

The range is a high pressure range only which you will need a minimum pressure of about 1.0bar to operate.

Within the Zeal collection you have the monobloc basin mixer with no pop-up waste so you will need to use a click clack waste, there is a tall mono bloc basin mixer for use with freestanding bowls, there is also a very unusual wall mounted bath shower mixer as you can see from the image to the right, the diverter is mounted on the fascia of the mixer and the handle at the end, it has a neat square wall bracket and shower handset.

To complete the Crosswater Zeal tap and shower range you get to choose between two different versions of manual shower valves one with and one without a diverter which can be used for either showering or filling a bath.

At number 5 Crosswater have the Prima range of bathroom taps (shown left), this will work on low pressure and comes in at £76.00 a small range with just a Monobloc basin mixer, monobloc bidet mixer, deck or wall mounted bath shower mixer and a manual shower valve, to see the full range click here.

At number 4 Bristan have the Blade range of bathroom taps (shown right) these will also work on low pressure systems and start from as little as £54.00 for a pair of basin taps, again a small range with basin and bath taps a bath filler and a bath shower mixer if you wish to see the full range then click here.

At number 3 Home of Ultra Have Orion bathroom taps (shown left) the prices start from just £38.00 for a pair of basin taps this is quite a large range which includes showers and valves as well to complete the look.

There are basin and bath taps, monobloc basin mixers, bath fillers and bath shower mixers and for the Orion shower valves you get both options of square or oval back plate all are thermostatic and come in one or two way valves with an intergeral diverter.

Tapstore.com are offering tap packs with saving up to 37% off retail price and they are also offering complete bath and shower packs as well so very worth a look.

But at Number 1 for the best quality for value for money we have the Roper Rhodes Storm range of taps and Showers which also got the accolade last year and managed to get back to number 1 by introducing matching shower valves to boost the complete range.

The Storm monobloc basin Mixer is a touch at £53.00 and there is now everything you would want to complement the complete bathroom or shower room design within the range.

Starting with BasinTaps, monobloc basin mixers with and without pop up wastes, both high and low pressure bath shower mixers and bath fillers, recessed and surface mounted thermostatic shower valves.

The technology used in the basin mixers along help it be the number 1. Built in to the on off control (cartridge) is a flow limiter and and a temperature limiter to make it safe for use with children and older persons.

1, Make sure that you buy branded bathroom taps from a reputable retailer through your local showroom or online shop, lots of people are being teased by very cheap prices into buying poor quality import brass ware through shops and the Internet, What I have noticed is that retailers are calling taps by a brand name but when you search for the manufacturer there are no details of them online. So make sure that the manufacturer has a base in the UK.

The reason retailers are now doing this is that it protects them against you finding the same product cheaper elsewhere.

2, It is critical that you select the brand you buy and check that it is suitible for your water system, you need to look for the minimum pressure that a tap or shower will work on e.g 0.2 bar which means you will need 2 meters of distance between the bottom of your cold water storage tank and where the water flows from the taps or shower.

So for each 1 meter in distance you will need 0.1 bar.

*Note If you do not have a cold water storage tank this does not apply unless the stated pressure is above 2.0 bar then call a plumber and get you pressure tested to make sure you have enough.

3, A cheap tap or shower is not good value for money as you will be paying out for a replacement and a plumbers bill which is a lot more costly than paying just a bit more for a recognized brand.
