Full details

This Aqualisa Safe Touch Round Bar Mixer Shower in Matt Black is designed for families seeking a safe and reliable showering experience. Its key benefit is the 'Safe Touch' brass body, which prevents scalding by staying cool to the touch, complemented by a thermostatic design that avoids sudden temperature spikes. A potential consideration is its suitability for all UK plumbing systems, which may require specific system pressures for optimal performance. The shower offers user-friendly controls, three spray patterns, and an easy-fit installation.

FAQs

Is the 'Safe Touch' feature effective on all water temperatures?

Yes, the 'Safe Touch' technology is designed to keep the external brass body cool regardless of the water temperature selected, preventing burns.

Can I install this shower myself?

The shower features an 'easy-fit' design with wall brackets, making installation simpler. However, plumbing work is involved, so professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended for best results and safety.

What is the flow rate of this shower?

The flow rate is 12.3 litres per minute, providing an efficient yet satisfying shower experience.

How do I change the spray pattern on the shower head?

The 110mm handset can be rotated, and the spray pattern is typically changed by rotating the face of the shower head or by moving a small slider on the head itself, depending on the specific design of the handset.

What is the warranty period for this Aqualisa shower?

This Aqualisa shower comes with a 5-year guarantee as standard.

Does this shower require a minimum water pressure?

The shower is designed for both high and low pressure systems. While it functions across a range, optimal performance is generally achieved with adequate system pressure. Specific minimums are best confirmed with Aqualisa's technical specifications if you have a very low-pressure system.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or inconsistent temperature

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve. Ensure the water system is functioning correctly and that there are no blockages in the supply lines.

Low water pressure or flow rate

Verify that the water system pressure meets the recommended levels for optimal performance. Clean the shower head and hose for any potential blockages. Ensure the stop valves on the water inlets are fully open.

Shower valve is leaking

Inspect all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, there may be an issue with internal seals or cartridges, which may require replacement by a qualified professional.

Temperature override button is stiff or not working

Gently try to operate the button. If it remains difficult, there might be limescale buildup. A mild descaler might help, but professional inspection may be needed if the issue persists.
