Product Information
Full details
The Gainsborough Premium Dual Outlet Bar Mixer Shower is designed for homeowners seeking a versatile and safe showering experience. Its key benefit lies in the dual outlet system, allowing seamless switching between a fixed drencher head and a multi-spray hand shower, all while maintaining a safe temperature with thermostatic control and cool-touch technology. A potential caveat is its requirement for high-pressure water systems (1-5 bar). This shower features a smooth chrome finish, adjustable riser rail, and is compatible with combi boilers.

Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from shower heads
Verify that your water system pressure is within the 1-5 bar range. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hoses or shower heads. Ensure the main water valve is fully open.
Temperature fluctuations during use
Ensure the thermostatic valve has been correctly installed and is functioning as intended. If the issue persists, check for air in the system or blockages in the hot/cold water inlets. Consult a professional plumber.
Shower valve feels hot to the touch
The shower features cool-touch technology, which significantly reduces surface temperature. If the valve feels excessively hot, it may indicate an installation issue or an extremely high incoming water temperature. Contact a qualified installer.
Difficulty switching between shower heads
Ensure the diverter control is being operated smoothly and fully. Small debris can sometimes obstruct the mechanism; a gentle flush or professional cleaning might be necessary.
