FAQs

What is 'Cool Touch' technology?

Cool Touch technology means that the surface of the shower valve remains cool to the touch during operation, preventing accidental burns, which is especially important for user safety.

Is this shower suitable for my existing water system?

Yes, this shower is compatible with all water systems, including combi boilers, high-pressure, medium-pressure, and low-pressure systems, operating effectively from 0.5 to 5.0 bar.

How do I switch between the overhead shower and the handset?

You can switch between the overhead drencher and the adjustable handset using the integrated diverter, typically a button or lever located on the main bar valve.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Affine Dual Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

How do I clean the showerhead and handset?

You can clean the showerhead and handset by gently wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. For limescale, use a mild descaler or a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly.

What are the dimensions of the shower?

The shower has a height of 1200mm, a width of 280mm, and a depth of 340mm. The overhead shower head is 225mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow from the shower.

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar). Inspect the filters within the valve connections for any blockages and clean them. Verify that the diverter is correctly set to the desired outlet.

Water temperature is not consistent or fluctuates.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, the valve may require servicing or replacement. Check for any recent changes in your home's water system pressure.

The valve surface is getting too hot.

This indicates a potential failure of the cool touch technology or an external heat source. Contact customer support as this is a safety feature that should be addressed immediately.

Diverter not switching between overhead and handset.

Inspect the diverter mechanism for any debris or damage. Gently try to clear any obstructions. If the issue persists, the diverter may need professional attention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with cool touch technology and thermostatic control.
  • Luxurious showering experience with a large rainfall overhead shower.
  • Flexible use with an adjustable handset and dual outlet design.
  • Modern aesthetic with a contemporary black finish.
  • Broad compatibility with various water systems and pressure levels.
  • Easy to install with exposed pipework.

Cons

  • Requires exposed plumbing, which may not suit all bathroom aesthetics.
  • The large overhead shower requires adequate water pressure to perform optimally.
  • As a dual-outlet system, it may consume more water than single-outlet showers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This shower features an exposed installation, meaning the valve and pipework are visible on the wall. Ensure your water supply lines are positioned correctly at the required distance for the bar valve. The adjustable riser rail allows for easy height adjustment of the handset. The integrated diverter on the bar valve controls the flow between the overhead shower and the handset.

Compatibility:

The Affine Dual Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower is designed to be compatible with all water systems, including:

  • Combi boilers
  • High-pressure systems
  • Medium-pressure systems
  • Low-pressure systems (may require a booster pump for optimal performance)

It operates efficiently within a water pressure range of 0.5 to 5.0 bar.

Care:

To maintain the black finish and ensure longevity, clean the shower with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. Periodically check the showerhead and handset for any limescale buildup and clean as necessary using a mild descaler or vinegar solution. Ensure the filters within the valve connections are clear of debris.
