Product Information

Full details

This Affine thermostatic mixer shower is designed for homeowners seeking a modern and luxurious shower experience with versatile functionality. Its key benefit is the dual-outlet system, allowing simultaneous use of a large drencher head and a handheld shower, all controlled by a thermostatic mixer for consistent temperature. A potential caveat is its requirement for a minimum of 0.5 bar water pressure, making it most suitable for high-pressure or combination boiler systems.

FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower?

The minimum recommended water pressure for this Affine thermostatic mixer shower is 0.5 Bar. It performs best with higher pressure systems.

Can both the overhead shower and the handset be used at the same time?

Yes, this is a twin outlet system, meaning you can use the overhead drencher head and the pencil shower handset simultaneously.

What materials are the shower components made from?

The shower valve body is made from solid brass, and the 200mm overhead drencher head is made from 304-grade stainless steel. The handset and hose are also finished in brushed brass.

How do I clean and maintain the brushed brass finish?

Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild solution of water and vinegar, then rinse thoroughly.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Affine thermostatic mixer shower comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Is this shower suitable for older properties with low water pressure?

This shower requires a minimum of 0.5 Bar pressure. It is best suited for modern homes with higher pressure systems, such as those with combination boilers or pumped water systems. It may not perform optimally in gravity-fed systems.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets strict standards for water quality, safety, and water efficiency in the UK.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low water flow from shower heads

Check that the water supply is turned on and that the system pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Ensure the concealed valve is correctly installed and that no debris is obstructing the inlets or outlets. Verify that the correct outlet is selected on the mixer if both are not intended to run simultaneously.

Water temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure the thermostatic mixer valve is functioning correctly. The issue might stem from an unstable hot or cold water supply pressure. Verify that the minimum required pressures are consistently met by your system. If problems persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Leaking from the mixer valve or connections

Turn off the water supply immediately. Inspect all pipe connections for tightness and ensure appropriate sealing tape or compound has been used. If the leak persists, the internal components of the valve may need servicing or replacement. Professional assistance is recommended.

Handset holder is loose or not functioning correctly

Check the mounting screws for the handset holder. If the holder is integrated with the water outlet, ensure the connection to the shower hose is secure. For integrated units, inspect for any signs of damage or wear that might require replacement of the part.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation of this thermostatic mixer shower requires plumbing expertise. The concealed valve should be fitted within the wall cavity, ensuring proper access for maintenance. Connect the water inlets to your hot and cold supply lines, adhering to the G1/2" inlet connection size. The twin outlets will then connect to the shower hose and the fixed overhead shower arm, respectively. Ensure all connections are securely tightened to prevent leaks.

Compatibility:

This shower system is suitable for high-pressure systems and combination boiler systems. It requires a minimum of 0.5 Bar water pressure and can handle up to 5.0 Bar. It is not recommended for gravity-fed or very low-pressure water systems.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the shower regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale buildup, a mild solution of water and vinegar can be used on the shower heads, followed by a thorough rinse. Periodically check all connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
