Full details

FAQs

What type of water system is required for this shower?

This shower is designed for high-pressure systems, such as combination boilers (combi), unvented systems, or systems with a positive head pressure. It is not suitable for low-pressure or gravity-fed systems.

Can I install this shower myself?

The concealed installation requires plumbing expertise and access to the wall cavity. While some DIY enthusiasts may be capable, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and prevent potential issues.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Architeckt Thermostatic Concealed Square Shower comes with a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind.

How do I clean the 200mm drencher head?

The drencher head features rub-clean nozzles. Gently rub these nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to remove any limescale or debris. For the chrome finish, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the flow rate at a pressure of 1.0 Bar?

At 1.0 Bar, the first outlet has a flow rate of 16.3 L/min, and the second outlet has a flow rate of 16.1 L/min.

Does this shower system include the shower head and handset?

Yes, the system includes a contemporary square handset and a large 200mm drencher head, along with the necessary concealed valve and controls.

Can I use this shower with a standard gravity-fed system?

No, this shower is designed for high-pressure systems. It will not function correctly or safely with a standard gravity-fed system due to insufficient water pressure.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low water flow from the shower.

Ensure the water supply is on. Check that the system pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 Bar). Verify that the concealed valve and outlet connections are not blocked. Confirm the system is compatible (HP/Combi) and not a gravity-fed system.

Water temperature is unstable or fluctuates excessively.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for pressure fluctuations in the hot or cold water supply. Ensure the shower is installed on a suitable high-pressure system. If issues persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Difficulty switching between shower head and drencher.

Ensure the diverter control is being operated correctly. Check for any blockages in the pipework leading to the outlets. The internal mechanism may require professional inspection if the switch is stiff or non-functional.

Chrome finish appears dull or is scratched.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the surface. For scratches, professional polishing or replacement of the affected part may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a concealed valve system designed for installation behind the wall. It requires appropriate plumbing connections for two separate outlets. It is specifically designed for HP/Combi systems and requires a minimum pressure of 0.5 Bar for basic function, with optimal performance achieved at higher pressures.

Compatibility:

  • Water Systems: Best suited for high-pressure systems, including combi boilers, unvented systems, and systems with a positive head pressure.
  • Inlet Connection Size: G1/2"
  • Pressure Range: Recommended 0.5 Bar to 5.0 Bar.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
  • Limescale: For limescale removal, use a mild descaler specifically designed for bathroom fittings. For the rub-clean nozzles on the drencher head, gently rub them with a finger or cloth to dislodge any build-up.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any leaks or blockages. Ensure the thermostatic controls are functioning smoothly.
