Full details
This ENKI Edwardian concealed thermostatic shower mixer in Gold is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and versatile shower control system for multiple shower outlets. Its key benefit is the thermostatic control that prevents scalding and ensures consistent water temperature, alongside easy installation and maintenance due to its solid brass, single-cast body. A minor caveat is the requirement for a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar for optimal performance. This mixer is ideal for modern shower setups, allowing control over up to three different water outlets such as a rain shower, handheld shower, and body jets.

FAQs
What is the minimum water pressure required for this mixer?
A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is required. However, 1.0 bar is recommended for optimal performance and a satisfying shower experience.
Can this mixer be used with a combi boiler?
Yes, this mixer is compatible with combination boilers, as well as Megaflow systems, pumped hot water systems, un-vented hot water systems, and standard pressurized hot water cylinders.
How many shower outlets can be controlled by this valve?
This thermostatic shower mixer is designed to control up to three different water outlets. This allows for configurations such as a rain shower head, a handheld shower, and body jets.
Does the mixer come with the shower heads or body jets?
The product includes the thermostatic shower mixer valve and a backplate. Separate shower heads, body jets, and other accessories are sold independently.
How do I clean and maintain the gold finish?
Clean the gold finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals. A mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
What is the anti-scald device?
The anti-scald device is a safety feature integrated into the thermostatic valve that automatically shuts off or reduces hot water flow if it detects a sudden, dangerous increase in temperature, preventing scalding.
Is this a concealed or exposed shower mixer?
This is a concealed thermostatic shower mixer, meaning the main valve body is installed within the wall, providing a minimalist and clean appearance.
Troubleshooting
No water flow or reduced flow
Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar (1.0 bar recommended). Verify that the non-return valves are correctly installed and not blocked.
Water temperature not consistent
Confirm that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no major pressure fluctuations from other water outlets in the home. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
Anti-scald device not working
Verify the correct installation of the thermostatic cartridge. Test the device at different temperature settings. If it fails to prevent excessively hot water, the cartridge may be faulty and require replacement.
Difficulty switching between outlets
Ensure the diverter mechanism is not obstructed. Check for any debris or limescale buildup in the diverter valve. Gentle cleaning may resolve the issue; contact a professional if problems persist.
