Product Information

Full details

This thermostatic mixer shower from Affine is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, minimalist aesthetic and a luxurious showering experience. Its key benefit is the combination of a large 200mm square rainfall shower head with a sleek, concealed twin outlet mixer valve in a bold black finish, offering consistent temperature control and a high-end look. A potential caveat is its requirement for a minimum of 0.5 Bar water pressure.

FAQs

What water pressure is required for this shower?

This shower requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 Bar and a maximum of 5.0 Bar. It is suitable for most modern high-pressure systems, including combination boilers.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Affine Thermostatic Mixer Shower comes with a 10-year guarantee from the date of purchase.

Can I use this shower with a low-pressure system (e.g., gravity-fed)?

No, this shower is not recommended for low-pressure gravity-fed systems as it requires a minimum of 0.5 Bar. You may need a shower pump if your system pressure is below this.

What materials are used for the shower head and valve?

The shower valve body is constructed from solid brass, and the rainfall shower head is made from 304-grade stainless steel.

Does this shower include a handheld shower head?

The product description specifies a 200mm square ceiling-mounted drencher head and a twin outlet concealed mixer valve. A separate handheld shower head and hose would typically need to be purchased in addition to this set, connected to the second outlet of the valve.

How do I clean the black finish?

Clean the black finish using only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the coating.

Is the mixer valve WRAS approved?

Yes, the concealed thermostatic shower mixer valve is WRAS approved, ensuring it meets high standards for water quality and safety in the UK.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow from shower head

Check that the water supply is turned on. Verify that the system meets the minimum 0.5 Bar pressure requirement. Ensure there are no blockages in the shower head, arm, or pipework. Check that the correct outlets on the mixer are being used.

Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuates

Ensure the thermostatic valve has been installed correctly with hot and cold water feeds in the right connections. Check for any debris that may be obstructing the thermostatic cartridge. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.

Leaking from the valve or shower head

Check all connections for tightness. Ensure seals and washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If the leak is from the valve body itself, contact customer support or a qualified plumber.

Controls are stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure no debris is obstructing the control mechanism. Try applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts if recommended by the manufacturer. If stiffness persists, the internal workings may require servicing.
