The shower house, and the one that prints the pressure
Taps, shower systems, hand showers, hoses and the parts that connect them, across the whole range from a basin mixer to a thermostatic column.
They state the condition, not just the number. A hand shower described as 6.9 l/min is a figure with a pressure behind it, and the specification says so. On a shelf where most flow rates are printed alone, that alone is worth reading.
Silicone nozzle faces that can be rubbed clear, and hoses sold with their cone seals. Both are the difference between a shower that recovers from hard water and one that is replaced.
Thermostatic bath mixer · 150 mm ±12 centres · up to 20 l/min at 3 bar · SafetyStop 40 °C · G1/2 DN15 · two outlets
The only tap in this whole catalogue that publishes a flow rate WITH the pressure it was measured at — 20 l/min at 3 bar — alongside a centre distance and a tolerance.
Best for: A bath that has to fill quickly, on existing wall connections that may not be exactly 150 mm apart.
≈ £183 / 148 €
Shower thermostat · 150 mm ±12 centres · G1/2 DN15 · SafetyStop 40 °C · EcoStop 10 l/min first position · silencer fitted
A thermostat that publishes its centre distance with a tolerance, its limited flow in litres per minute, and a built-in silencer — three things nothing else on this page states.
Best for: An existing wall installation whose centres are close to but not exactly 150 mm, in a bathroom where shower noise carries.
≈ £138 / 111 €
Pull-out kitchen mixer · 240 mm outlet height · 230 mm clearance (ComfortZone 240) · 110°/150° swivel · 35 mm hole · G3/8 DN15
A pull-out that publishes an outlet height, a working clearance, two selectable swivel ranges, a tap hole size and a connection standard — and states that it suits an instantaneous heater.
Best for: A kitchen where the tap must be specified before it is bought — a known 35 mm deck, a wall or hob close by, and possibly an instantaneous heater.
≈ 189 €
Sensor tap · 6 V lithium CR-P2 — stated · run time 10, 20 or 30 s — stated · single supply · ComfortZone 100 mm
The only sensor tap here that publishes its run-on time — selectable at 10, 20 or 30 seconds — alongside its battery type and its working height.
Best for: A basin fed by a central thermostatic supply, or a cloakroom where cold water is enough, and where the run-on time is worth setting.
≈ 148 €
Basin mixer · ComfortZone 70 mm stated · AirPower aeration · pop-up waste · G3/8 DN15 · suitable for instantaneous heaters
A basin mixer that publishes its working height, its connection size and — unusually — that it suits an instantaneous water heater, which decides whether it can be used at all on that kind of supply.
Best for: An inset basin where the tap will be kept for a decade, and where the supply may be an instantaneous heater.
≈ £57 / 46 €
Tall basin mixer · ComfortZone 190 mm stated · AirPower aeration · G3/8 DN15 · suitable for instantaneous heaters · no waste supplied
A tall mixer that publishes 190 mm of clearance under the spout, states its connection size, and says it suits an instantaneous water heater — three facts that let it be specified rather than hoped at.
Best for: A countertop bowl whose rim height is known, on a basin that already has its waste.
≈ £100 / 88 €
Rail set · 65 cm rail · 100 mm two-mode head · 160 cm hose · EcoSmart limits to 9 l/min at any pressure · 5-year warranty
A rail set whose flow is held at 9 l/min whatever your pressure does — which is a different and better promise than a saving percentage.
Best for: A household with variable mains pressure, where the shower should feel the same every day.
≈ £45 / 44 €
The hose that solves the daily annoyance nothing else here addresses: a fixing that stops it winding itself into a spiral.
Best for: A shower used every day by several people, where the hose ends up as a coiled spring by Wednesday.
