This Affine thermostatic mixer shower is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, stylish upgrade to their bathroom with a focus on consistent water temperature and versatile showering options. Its key benefit is the thermostatic control ensuring a safe and comfortable shower experience, regardless of household water usage. A potential caveat is that performance is dependent on water system pressure, especially at lower bar levels. The shower features a bold matt black finish, a large 225mm round drencher head for a rainfall effect, and a separate, adjustable handset, all controlled by an elegant fluted bar mixer valve.

The shower is designed for all water systems. While it functions at low pressures (0.5 Bar), optimal performance, especially the rainfall effect, is achieved with pressures of 1.0 Bar and above. You may notice reduced flow rates at very low pressures.
Gently wipe the nozzles with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive limescale remover specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Follow the product instructions and rinse thoroughly.
Yes, this shower is suitable for use with all water systems, including unvented hot water systems.
The shower comes with a 10-year guarantee, providing peace of mind for your purchase.
The bar mixer valve has two distinct controls. Typically, one knob or lever controls the temperature, and the other controls the water flow rate. Refer to the installation manual for specific control identification.
The pipe centre size required for installation is 150mm.
Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve. Ensure the thermostatic element is not blocked by debris and that the water system pressure is adequate. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.
Verify that the water system pressure meets the minimum recommended (0.5 Bar). Check for blockages in the showerhead nozzles or handset, and ensure any in-line filters are clean. Confirm that the valve controls for flow are fully open.
This can sometimes occur due to residual water draining. If dripping is excessive or continuous, it may indicate a faulty valve seal or cartridge requiring attention.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the shower is dried after use to prevent water spots, especially in hard water areas.
Setup: This shower is designed for installation on standard pipe centres of 150mm. It is crucial to have the unit installed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections and function. Ensure water supplies are isolated before beginning installation.
Compatibility: The Affine Thermostatic Mixer Shower is suitable for use with all water systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, unvented, and combi-boiler systems. However, optimal performance, particularly for the drencher head's rainfall effect, is best achieved with a minimum system pressure of 0.5 Bar and ideally 1.0 Bar or higher.
Care: To maintain the matt black finish and ensure longevity, regularly clean the shower components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale build-up on the showerheads, use a mild descaler solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. Periodically check and clean any filters within the valve or showerheads as per standard plumbing maintenance practices.
