Full details

This Mr Muscle Thermo Bar Mixer Cool Touch and Single Mode Kit is designed for homeowners seeking a safe and stylish showering experience. Its key benefit is the 'Cool Touch' technology that prevents the shower body from becoming dangerously hot, making it ideal for families.

It includes a single-mode riser rail kit and is compatible with all plumbing systems.

FAQs

What is 'Cool Touch' technology?

'Cool Touch' technology refers to a safety feature where the external surface of the shower mixer is designed to remain cool during use, preventing accidental burns.

Is this shower mixer suitable for all types of water systems?

Yes, this mixer is compatible with all plumbing systems, including combi-boilers, gravity-fed systems, and unvented systems.

How often should I clean the shower mixer?

It is recommended to clean the shower mixer regularly, ideally after each use or daily, with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its finish and prevent limescale buildup.

What does 'thermostatic' mean in relation to this shower mixer?

A thermostatic mixer automatically maintains the set water temperature, preventing sudden changes in temperature due to fluctuations in water pressure or other appliances being used elsewhere.

Does the kit include a shower hose and handset?

Yes, the kit includes a single-mode riser rail kit, which typically comprises a riser rail, shower hose, and handset.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 2-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Can I replace the single-mode handset with a multi-function one?

While the riser rail is standard, compatibility with other handsets would depend on the hose fitting. It is best to consult with a plumber or the manufacturer for specific compatibility.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or fluctuating temperature

Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and the thermostatic cartridge is functioning properly. Check for blockages in the inlet filters. If problems persist, consult a qualified plumber.

Low water pressure

Check that the inlet filters are clean and not blocked. Verify that the water pressure from your mains supply is adequate. Ensure no other taps or showers are running simultaneously.

Shower body feels too hot to touch

This indicates a potential malfunction with the 'Cool Touch' valve technology. Discontinue use immediately and contact a qualified plumber for inspection and repair.

Dripping from the shower head when off

This may indicate a faulty cartridge or worn seals. A qualified plumber will need to inspect and potentially replace the thermostatic cartridge or relevant seals.
