Product Information

Full details

The ARKO BATHROOM Thermostatic Round Mixer Shower with Bath Filler Tap in Black is designed for families seeking a safe, comfortable, and modern shower experience. Its key benefit is the integrated thermostatic control with a 38°C safety limit, preventing sudden temperature changes and scalding, making it ideal for households with children or elderly individuals. A potential caveat is its optimal performance with low to medium water pressure systems. This complete shower system offers a fixed rain shower head, a handheld spray, and a bath filler, all managed by a smooth diverter and a durable ceramic cartridge for drip-free use.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the 38°C safety control?

The 38°C safety control is a built-in feature of the thermostatic mixer that prevents the water temperature from exceeding 38°C by default, reducing the risk of scalding. This setting can be overridden if a higher temperature is desired.

Can I use this shower with a combi boiler?

Yes, this shower is designed to work with UK plumbing systems, including those with combi boilers, particularly with low to medium water pressure. For optimal performance, ensure your boiler provides adequate hot water flow.

How do I clean the shower heads to prevent limescale buildup?

You can gently clean the shower heads with a soft cloth and a mild descaling solution or diluted vinegar. Allow the solution to sit for a short period, then wipe clean and rinse. A soft brush can help dislodge stubborn deposits.

What is included in the installation kit?

The kit includes the main shower mixer unit, a shower hose, an adjustable riser rail, a fixed overhead shower head, a handheld shower spray, a bath filler tap, and all required shower fittings for installation into standard UK plumbing.

Does the shower run both the overhead and handheld at the same time?

No, the diverter allows you to select and operate one function at a time: either the overhead rainfall shower, the handheld shower spray, or the bath filler tap.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The ARKO Bathroom thermostatic mixer shower comes with a 5-year guarantee, covering manufacturing defects and ensuring long-term reliability.

What type of finish does this shower have?

This model features a durable, polished black finish designed to complement modern bathroom aesthetics and resist corrosion.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow from shower head/bath filler.

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the diverter is fully engaged for the selected function. Verify that the inlet filters are clean and not blocked. Confirm that the water pressure meets the minimum requirements for the system.

Water temperature is too hot or too cold.

The thermostatic mixer should maintain a stable temperature. If fluctuations occur, check for potential issues with your home's hot and cold water supply. Ensure the 38°C safety stop is correctly set and not being overridden unintentionally. If problems persist, contact customer support.

Leaking from shower head, hose, or mixer unit.

Check all connections to ensure they are tightened correctly. Inspect the shower hose and any seals for damage. If leaks persist from the mixer unit itself, it may indicate an internal issue, and professional service or warranty claim may be required.

Diverter is stiff or not switching functions properly.

Ensure the diverter is not being forced. Check for any debris or limescale buildup around the diverter mechanism. Operate the diverter gently. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shower system is designed for wall-mounted installation and comes as a complete kit including the shower hose, adjustable riser rail, and all necessary fittings for straightforward installation into standard UK plumbing systems. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Compatibility:

The ARKO thermostatic mixer shower is compatible with UK plumbing systems and is designed to work efficiently with low to medium water pressure. It is suitable for homes with both showers and baths.

Care:

To maintain the finish and functionality of your shower mixer:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the polished black finish.
  2. Limescale: For areas with hard water, gently clean the shower heads periodically with a mild descaler or vinegar solution to prevent blockages. A soft brush can help dislodge any buildup.
  3. Diverter: Ensure the diverter is switched completely to one function before operating. Avoid forcing the diverter if it feels stiff; check for any obstructions.
  4. General Maintenance: Periodically check all connections for leaks. Ensure the shower rail and hose are securely fitted.
