Product Information
Full details
The Bristan Carre Bar Mixer Shower is designed for homeowners seeking a flexible and personalized showering experience. Its dual outlet allows seamless switching between a handset and a drencher head, offering significant versatility. A key benefit is the independent temperature and flow controls, providing precise customization. However, users should be aware of the initial safety temperature preset, which requires an override for higher temperatures. This shower features thermostatic control for consistent temperature, a 38°C safety stop, and is built for durability with a chrome finish suitable for all plumbing systems.

Troubleshooting
No hot water or fluctuating temperature
Check that your hot water supply is functioning correctly and that the hot and cold water connections are made to the correct inlets on the shower valve. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar.
Low water flow from shower head or handset
Ensure the rub-clean nozzles are clear of limescale. Check the shower hose and connections for any kinks or blockages. Verify that the water pressure is within the recommended operating range (0.5-5.0 bar).
Difficulty switching between handset and drencher head
Ensure the diverter mechanism is operating smoothly. Check for any obstructions in the diverter valve. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Safety temperature override is difficult to engage
Ensure you are turning the temperature control knob firmly past the 38°C marker. Refer to the product manual for specific instructions on engaging the override.
