Whale Water Systems Shower/Faucet Mixers
Space-Saving Water Solutions for Marine and RV Applications
Whale Water Systems has engineered its shower/faucet mixers to solve one of the most persistent challenges in marine and recreational vehicle plumbing: delivering full functionality in extremely tight spaces. These combination units are ideal for installation in tight spaces since they combine a faucet and shower in one unit, eliminating the need for separate fixtures and reducing the overall footprint in galleys, vanities, and wet bars.

The Elegance Series: Engineering for Versatility
Whale's combination shower/mixer units feature handsets with shower and tap on/off function control, can be used in washbasin or wall shower applications, and include retracting hoses with temporary water flow shutoff while maintaining temperature. This dual-mode operation means users can switch between standard faucet operation and pull-out shower functionality without changing fixtures, making these units particularly valuable where multi-purpose water delivery is essential.
The lightweight and durable ABS plastic construction provides a compact design for straightforward installation even in tight spaces, while robust ABS construction ensures compatibility with all types of Whale galley pumps. The units connect to standard plumbing systems through multiple options, including simple connection to either ½" hose fitting or Whale Quick Connect 15mm plumbing, offering installation flexibility for both new builds and retrofit applications.
Water Conservation and Temperature Control
One of the defining features of Whale's shower/faucet mixers is their focus on freshwater conservation—a critical concern in both marine and RV environments where water capacity is limited. Water flow can be temporarily shut off on shower heads while maintaining temperature settings, allowing users to pause water delivery without losing their preferred hot/cold mix. This feature dramatically reduces water waste during activities like shampooing or soaping, where continuous flow isn't necessary.
Easy-to-use controls on mixer and handset include temperature adjustment and temporary shutoff for water conservation, putting essential functions directly at the user's fingertips. The retractable hose design ensures the unit maintains a clean, finished appearance when not in use, while the extended reach provides the flexibility needed for washing tasks beyond the immediate fixture area.
System Compatibility and Installation Flexibility
Whale's faucet and combination shower units are ideal for use with Pressure Switch or Microswitch Systems including all types of manual and electric pump supply systems. The units are suitable for pressurized water systems up to 45 psi, accommodating the vast majority of marine and RV freshwater systems without requiring special pressure regulation.
Whale is a well-known brand with a reputation built on decades of high quality design expertise, supplying the marine, caravan/motor home, shower drainage and industrial markets around the world. This extensive experience in mobile water system design ensures that every shower/faucet mixer addresses the unique demands of environments where space, weight, and water efficiency are paramount considerations.
