What Is a Bath Filler That Overflows?

Overflow fillers serve a dual purpose by simultaneously filling the bath with water and preventing potential ceiling damage caused by overflow. Water is directed out of a hole located on the underside of the chrome round or square overflow, ensuring efficient drainage. Control over the flow of water to the filler is managed by a pair of deck valves installed on the bath or a wall-mounted manual or thermostatic valve. This setup allows users to easily regulate the on/off flow of water, providing convenience and peace of mind during bath time.

Overflow fillers go by a variety of names, including:

● Bath filler waste

● Centrafill

● Aqua Fillers

● Valve operated bath filler

Utilizing an overflow bath filler alongside a secondary outlet, like a wall-mounted shower kit or a pull-out handset installed on the bath deck, offers optimal versatility and convenience. With this setup, the same valve can seamlessly transition between filling the bath and activating the showering function, providing users with flexibility and ease of use. This integrated approach enhances the functionality of the bathroom while maintaining a streamlined and cohesive design.

Eliminating the traditional bath tap from the bath deck results in a clutter-free appearance, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic. With the removal of this fixture, the bath deck is freed up, providing a clean and minimalist look to the bathroom space. Furthermore, consolidating the functionality into a single valve enables efficient control over both the bath filler and the shower kit, enhancing usability and simplifying the bathing experience.

Flexibility

In a standard shower setup over a bath, the control mechanism is typically positioned below the showerhead, offering easy access for adjusting water flow and temperature during showering. However, with the use of a concealed valve, you have the flexibility to install it at the opposite end of the bath. This strategic placement allows you to conveniently activate your shower without the need to step inside the bath, providing added convenience and efficiency to your bathing routine.

Thermostatic Regulation

Opting for a thermostatic 2-outlet valve is a wise decision if you intend to utilize both a bath overflow filler and a shower kit above the bath. With this setup, the thermostatically controlled shower ensures a consistent water temperature, offering peace of mind in scenarios where other water fixtures are in use simultaneously. This feature is especially beneficial for households with small children, as it prevents sudden temperature fluctuations that could pose safety risks.

Deck Mounted Bath Shower Mixer

On the other hand, if showering in the bath isn't part of your routine but you still desire the convenience of a pull-out shower handset integrated neatly into your bath deck, a manual valve with a diverter presents a cost-effective solution. With the diverter function, you can effortlessly switch between the overflow filler and the pull-out handset, enhancing the versatility of your bath without incurring significant additional costs. Despite its affordability, this option delivers a sleek and modern aesthetic, elevating the overall appearance of your bath space.

Style

Maintaining a cohesive theme across your bathroom sets apart a meticulously designed space from one that lacks coherence. Overflow bath fillers, with their inherent style and functionality, contribute significantly to elevating the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Despite being a simple addition, they infuse a touch of luxury reminiscent of upscale hotel bathrooms, enhancing the visual appeal without breaking the bank.

The availability of overflow fillers in both round and square styles offers versatility in design, allowing you to seamlessly integrate them into your bathroom's aesthetic. Imagine pairing a square overflow filler with a matching square shower valve and shower kit. This coordinated approach creates a cohesive look that exudes modernity and sophistication, transforming your bath space into a stylish retreat reminiscent of a luxury spa.

Water Flow Rates & Pressure

Initially, overflow bath fillers were designed exclusively for high-pressure systems, leaving those with gravity (low-pressure) systems without access unless they installed a pump. Fortunately, the landscape has evolved, and now there are several low-pressure overflow bath fillers available, catering to systems with pressures of 0.2 bar or higher.

Tapron offers an exceptional solution with its low-pressure bath filler, a standout feature in the intriguing Antler bathroom taps series. Designed to complement the collection's other taps and shower elements seamlessly, the Antler bath filler exudes glamour with its top-tier brass construction and striking chrome finish. Its rust-resistant properties, owing to the high-quality brass, ensure long-lasting durability.

Measuring a modest 405mm in height and 209mm in width, the Antler bath filler strikes the perfect balance between functionality and space efficiency in your bathtub. Equipped with ceramic disc technology, this bath filler boasts leak-proof performance, making it a reliable choice for any home improvement project.

Backed by a manufacturer's guarantee, the Antler bath filler is a unique addition guaranteed to enhance the utility and practicality of your bathroom. However, if your water pressure remains shallow, opting for a simpler setup with a slightly higher flow rate may be more suitable.
