Do all Ideal Standard taps work on both high and low pressure systems?
Most Ideal Standard taps are designed to operate on both low and high pressure systems. The UK is quite unique in Europe by having many low pressure water systems; however we are slowly moving over to European-style high pressure systems. This means that we need to offer products suitable for both types of systems: products designed for high pressure systems could be too restrictive on low pressure systems, and conversely those designed for low pressure could flow too much water when fitted to a high pressure system. Many competitors ‘European’ products are offered for sale in the UK but will only offer a satisfactory flow rate on a high pressure system, and this is not made clear in their literature. However, only a few of our products are designed to operate only on high pressure systems, such as the new melange thermostatic bath fillers, and this is clearly identified in our literature. What are the added benefits of choosing a thermostatic bath filler such as the Melange over a Con
