We've hand-picked these items because they are a great choice alongside the Vellamo Twist Chrome Bath Shower Mixer Tap & Kit
One of our best-selling ranges, Vellamo Twist Chrome Bath Shower Mixer Tap & Kit offers everything that is good about modern bathroom taps nowadays: smooth, elegant curves, minimal fuss-free design, excellent component quality, and above-all an unbeatable price.
Vellamo Twist Chrome Bath Shower Mixer Tap & Kit includes a shower kit, so you get a shower handset, hose and a wall bracket to mount the handset when it's not in use. The shower handset can be used as an overbath shower, or it can simply be used to wash your bath down after use.
At Tap Warehouse, we'd like to think we know a thing or two about taps. And Twist bathroom taps are one of our favourite ranges: they look good, feel reassuringly heavy, and are surprisingly affordable. The Twist also use ceramic disc cartridges which have an exceptionally long life and eliminate all of those annoying, costly drips. The Twist also has an easy to use quarter-turn mechanism. This means that just a 90° turn of the handle will have the tap in the fully-on position

Tap aerators are simple but beautifully-engineered devices that save water and money without a perceived loss of pressure. These small attachments are inserted inside the end of the spout and provide a regulated, smoothed and aerated flow of water by separating a single flow into many tiny streams. These streams mix with air as they flow from the tap, meaning less water is needed to achieve the same 'feel' and performance as non-aerated taps.
They can also be purchased separately and retrofitted to most taps, or they can usually be uninstalled if not wanted. They're a great benefit on high pressure systems where the full flow of water is unnecessary, cutting your water bills and helping to reduce wastage. On lower-pressure systems they can help to improve the performance of a tap by adding air to the limited flow of water available. All-in-all, they're pretty awesome.

Taps use either a ceramic disc cartridge or a rubber compression washer to control flow. Rubber washers will naturally wear down with use, and the tap handle will require more and more rotations to turn on or off. On the plus side, it's very easy to replace a rubber washer and they're available everywhere.
Ceramic disc cartridges need only a 90-degree rotation to fully open or close, and the 2 ceramic plates are incredibly hard-wearing and resilient. They're more expensive to make, but they allow for a huge range of designs, easy operation and simple maintenance if needed.
Whilst it is rare for a ceramic cartridge to need replacing, you may very occasionally need to remove and rinse the cartridge if grit or debris within the water system is preventing the 2 plates from closing properly. Much like replacing a rubber washer, this is a quick and easy job, and will ensure many years of use.

Minimum Water Pressure
Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.
- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar
- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs
- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar
You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.
