A digital shower is an innovative shower system that combines technology with water control. It has features like built-in thermostats, LED displays, smartphone integration, and programmable functions such as timers and temperature control. 

Digital showers are the future of bathroom technology. They let you control water usage, energy and shower duration to streamline your bathing routine. But there’s a lot that people don’t know – or get wrong – about digital showers. Our guide exposes the myths to help you choose the best digital shower, including their cost, their reliability and their water usage.  

Myth – Digital showers are expensive

Digital showers come in various price points. While the technology isn’t cheap, they have water- and energy-saving functions that can help you save on bills. You’re paying for quality and longevity. It’s a long-term investment.

Myth – Digital showers are unreliable

Digital showers have evolved significantly over the past decade, and modern models are reliable and durable. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance. Our digital showers are powerful and reliable, offering a high-performance showering experience.

Myth – Digital showers are unsuitable for combi boilers

Many digital showers work seamlessly with combi boilers. High-pressure digital showers for combi boilers create a powerful flow for the perfect shower experience. Digital showers feature an integrated pump to boost water pressure, and they respond to temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for combi boiler systems.

Myth – Digital showers leave no space for the mixer box

Digital showers eliminate the need for a bulky mixer box. The control unit can be discreetly installed within the wall or remotely, using minimal space. 

Myth – Digital showers need as much space as a built-in mixer

Digital showers have a slimmer footprint than regular showers. Unlike traditional mixers, digital showers don’t need extensive plumbing behind the wall. The digital interface can be conveniently installed directly on the wall, wherever required. This makes them ideal for smaller bathrooms with more compact shower areas. 

Myth – Digital showers increase water usage

Installing a digital shower is a great way to save water. Unlike traditional manual mixers, digital showers maintain the exact temperature you choose, so you won’t waste time and water adjusting it manually. Features like flow limiters promote efficient water usage. These restrict the water flow to a fixed rate, ensuring you don’t use excessive water. Choose a water-efficient flow pattern and set a timer for your shower to prevent over-usage.
