FAQs

What shower components are included with this mixer?

This mixer is sold as the faucet unit only and does not include shower components such as a shower head, shower hose, or riser rail. These must be purchased separately.

What is the purpose of the Coolbody anti-scald technology?

The Coolbody technology ensures that the surface of the shower mixer does not become excessively hot during use, thereby preventing accidental burns. This is especially important for safety in family bathrooms.

How does the EKO system save water and energy?

The EKO system is designed to limit the water flow rate without significantly compromising the showering experience, thus reducing water consumption and the energy required to heat that water.

What is the range of centre spacing that the S-connectors can accommodate?

The adjustable 1/2" S-connectors can accommodate centre spacing for pipes ranging from 137 mm to 163 mm.

Is this mixer suitable for a shower over a bath?

Yes, as long as a suitable bath spout is connected to the single outlet, this mixer can be used for a shower over a bath.

What material is the shower mixer made of?

The shower mixer is made entirely of aluminium.

Can I replace the existing mixer with this one easily?

The adjustable S-connectors are designed to fit standard pipe spacing (137 mm to 163 mm), which should facilitate easy replacement of many existing mixers.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and have adequate pressure. Check if the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly; if not, it may require servicing or replacement.

Low water flow

Check the aerator on the shower head for blockages. Inspect the inlet filters on the mixer for debris. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open.

Mixer surface feels hot

While the Coolbody technology minimizes heat transfer, some warmth is expected. If the surface is excessively hot, verify that the anti-scald feature is engaged and functioning correctly. Ensure the hot water supply temperature is set appropriately.

Leaking from connections

Tighten the S-connectors or ensure the seals are properly seated. Check for any damage to the pipework or the connector threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This mixer is designed for wall-mounted installations. Use the adjustable 1/2" S-connectors to fit pipes with a centre spacing of 137 mm to 163 mm. Ensure all connections are secure before operation.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with standard plumbing systems. It requires separate shower components like a shower head and hose, which should be purchased independently. It is designed for use with hot and cold water supplies.

Care: To maintain the finish, clean the mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the aluminium surface. Regular cleaning will help preserve its appearance and functionality.
