the wall over the bath or shower tray) and this is then heated and released through the shower head. The faster the water is fed through the unit the cooler the water will be, so if you want an invigorating shower it?s going to have to be a cooler one. If you want a hot shower then you should think in terms of it being soothing.
So, my vision of a hot, invigorating shower trickled down the plug hole. ?But? said the bathroom man, sensing his sale disappearing with it ?if you have a more powerful shower it will be capable of heating more water per minute and you will get a more invigorating shower!?
