FAQs

Is this shower suitable for low water pressure systems?

The shower is designed for all water systems, but performance, especially flow rates, will be dependent on your home's water pressure. While it will function, optimal performance is achieved with adequate pressure. Check the flow rate specifications at different bar pressures.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks or limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner or a solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

What is the pipe centre size for this shower?

The required pipe centre size for this mixer shower is 150mm.

Can I adjust the height of the handset?

Yes, the handset is mounted on a riser rail, allowing you to adjust its height to suit your needs.

What warranty comes with this shower?

This Affine Thermostatic Mixer Shower comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

What does 'cool touch technology' mean?

Cool touch technology means the external surface of the shower valve remains at a safe, cool temperature during operation, significantly reducing the risk of accidental burns.

Can I change the flow rate and temperature independently?

Yes, this shower features separate controls on the bar mixer valve, allowing you to adjust the temperature and flow rate independently for your comfort.

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from the shower head/handset.

Check that the water isolation valves are fully open. Ensure there are no blockages in the shower head, handset, or filter within the valve. Verify water pressure meets the minimum requirements for your water system.

Water temperature fluctuates erratically.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. If issues persist, there might be a problem with the internal thermostat mechanism or inconsistent incoming water temperatures/pressures. Contact a professional plumber.

Shower valve is leaking.

Check all connections for tightness. Inspect any seals or O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. If the leak appears to be from the valve body itself, contact the manufacturer or a plumber.

Cool touch technology is not effective.

Ensure the shower unit is installed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the valve body is still becoming excessively hot, there may be a manufacturing defect, and you should contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This shower is suitable for use with all water systems. The pipe centre size required is 150mm. Ensure your existing plumbing can accommodate this before installation.

Setup:

Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber. The unit features an exposed square bar mixer valve. Ensure all connections are secure and that the water supply is turned off before commencing installation. Refer to the manufacturer's installation manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Care:

To maintain the chrome finish, clean the shower regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup, use a mild limescale remover or a solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure all moving parts, such as the handset on the riser rail, are wiped clean periodically.
