Product Information

Full details

This Aqualisa Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve Kit is designed for homeowners seeking a minimalist, built-in shower experience with precise temperature control. Its key benefit is a sleek, uncluttered shower space achieved through its concealed valve unit. A potential caveat for DIY installers is the requirement for in-wall installation, which may necessitate professional help. The system features separate controls for on/off, diverter, and temperature, along with both a fixed drencher head and an adjustable handset, all housed within a stylish metal wall plate.

FAQs

What is the guarantee period for this shower kit?

The Aqualisa Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valve Kit comes with a 5-year guarantee.

Can this shower be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, this shower is suitable for all UK water systems, including combi boilers.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The minimum recommended water pressure is 0.2 Bar.

How do I switch between the main shower head and the handset?

There is a separate square dial on the wall plate specifically for diverting the water flow between the fixed drencher head and the adjustable handset.

Is the wall plate flush with the wall?

The valve unit is concealed within the wall, and the slimline metal wall plate sits neatly on the surface, providing a minimalist profile.

What type of shower heads are included?

The kit includes a 200mm square fixed drencher head and an 89mm square adjustable handset, both with rub-clean nozzles.

What are the dimensions of the wall plate?

The wall plate is described as slimline and rectangular, housing separate round control dials. The valve unit itself is 200mm in height and 2mm deep (60mm with knobs).

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow

Check that the water supply is turned on. Verify minimum pressure requirements (0.2 Bar). Ensure inlet connections are not kinked or blocked. Clean the shower heads' rub-clean nozzles.

Temperature is too hot or too cold, or fluctuating

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve (Hot/Left, Cold/Right). Check that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly; if issues persist, contact a qualified installer. Ensure water system pressures are within the 0.2-5 Bar range.

Diverter between shower heads is not working

Check the diverter mechanism within the valve for any obstructions. Ensure the separate square dial for diverting water is being operated correctly.

Water leaks from the wall plate or valve body

This indicates an installation issue. Ensure all connections are secure and properly sealed. For concealed units, leaks can be serious; turn off the water supply and contact a professional installer immediately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a minimalist and modern shower aesthetic.
  • Offers precise control over water temperature and flow.
  • Includes both a rainfall shower head and a handheld option.
  • Suitable for a wide range of UK water pressure systems.
  • Durable solid brass body valve construction.

Cons

  • Requires in-wall installation, which can be complex for DIY.
  • The valve unit itself has a very shallow depth specification (2mm without knobs), requiring careful consideration of wall cavity.
  • Separate controls might be less intuitive for some users compared to combined mixers.
  • Specific minimum and maximum pressure requirements must be met (0.2 Bar min, 5 Bar max).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shower valve requires installation within the wall cavity. Ensure the wall space is adequate for the concealed valve unit. The slimline metal wall plate attaches with a push-fit mechanism for a clean finish. Inlet connections are 15mm compression, with hot water supplied to the left and cold to the right.

Compatibility: The Aqualisa kit is compatible with all UK water systems, including:

  • Gravity
  • Boosted Gravity
  • Combi boilers
  • Balanced High Pressure

Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 Bar, and maximum is 5 Bar.

Care: To maintain the pristine chrome finish, clean the valve and shower heads regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. The handset features rub-clean nozzles for easy maintenance of spray patterns.
