An unvented hot water system uses the pressure from the mains water supply and heats it in an unpressurized tank using electricity or propane.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing a shower system: The Type of Hot Water System in Your House Your new shower may come with new controls and taps that must be mounted in the shower enclosure. If you are not planning on replacing tiles or even the shower panels, you may need to look for cover repair plates that will hide new holes created to make the connection to your water pipes. The manual mixer shower uses no electricity and relies solely on the pressure in the pipes to deliver a pleasant pulsing stream of water. The valve is directly connected to both the hot and cold water supply. It works best in a home with steady water pressure and takes advantage of large quantities of hot water stored in a cylinder or delivered via a combi-boiler. If you have low water pressure from your gravity-fed system you can add a water pump to improve the bathing experience. Your landlord is required to provide a minimum of 1 bar of water pressure to your home. This is enough to deliver water to all your taps, but your shower may feel more like a gentle rain rather than a pleasant thumping on your skin.

If your gravity-fed system does not have sufficient pressure, the thermostatic mixer shower is also compatible with pumps. You will pay a little bit more for your thermostatic valve, but the reliable performance is worth the added investment. The Orchard Wye shower system is also built to last.
