Selecting Bathroom Tapware

The bathroom is one of the most intimate and personal spaces in your home. It’s where you go to wake up and invigorate your senses. That’s why it makes sense to choose a layout that gets the right balance between form and function. A shower isn’t just for standing under and getting wet. So Methven has options to suit all shapes and sizes, not to mention your personal tastes.

Methven has designed tapware with smart features to ensure your taps work well and are supremely easy to fit.

Nobody likes a dripping tap – and now you don’t have to put up with it. Ceramic discs offer a permanent solution, replacing conventional washers in the mechanism. To maximise performance and protect the ceramic disc or cartridge, an in-line filter must be fitted to prevent damage by foreign particles.

Methven single lever mixers have an adjustable cartridge that allows you to set the maximum temperature of the water.  This is a great feature for protecting your whole family from scalding – especially children and the elderly.

In addition there is an adjustable cartridge that allows you to set both the maximum temperature and flow of the water out of single lever mixers.  This is a great feature for saving the amount of water used and protects your whole family. For more details click here

Satinjet® Unique technology delivers luxury and saves you money

Conventional showers use single jets of water that can produce a narrow, needle-like spray. A Methven Satinjet shower uses twin jets of water that collide and turn into thousands of tiny droplets that feel soft enough for your face, yet bracingly cleansing for your entire body. Satinjet technology also allows you to shower at lower water flows without compromising that luxurious feeling, so you’ll enjoy a refreshing experience that potentially saves you money.*
Let’s say you have a shower that currently runs at 20 litres per minute on mains pressure, and your household takes an average of four 10-minute showers every day. Switching to a Methven Satinjet shower with a flow restrictor could potentially save a small fortune on your hot water bill. Simply swap your current shower for a Satinjet model fitted with a 14 litre per minute flow restrictor, and you could save up to 27% of your hot water energy costs and 30% on total water costs.*
Better still, install a Satinjet shower fitted with a 9 litre per minute flow restrictor, and you could potentially save up to 49% of your hot water energy costs and 55% on total water costs. Which means the Satinjet would pay for itself in just a matter of months.*

*Water flows on mains pressure vary across NZ.  Not all water flows are on mains pressure, with many being on low pressure which will produce lower flow rates.  The savings indicated apply only to the example given of a shower flowing at 20 litres per minute on mains pressure, are based on July 2009 Auckland energy and water rates, and are for the water heating portion of the power usage only. 

It’s easy to upgrade your bathroom with a Satinjet shower, even if you’re not planning a full rebuild or renovation. The fittings on most showers are universal, so in most cases you can simply replace the showerhead with a modern Satinjet unit from Methven. For more details click here
