Product Information

Full details

The Aurora Thermostatic Bath Shower Mixer Valve is designed for homeowners seeking a consistent and comfortable showering and bathing experience. Its key benefit is precise temperature control that eliminates sudden hot or cold spikes, even when other water sources are used simultaneously. A minor consideration is the varying flow rates at different water pressures, which users should be aware of for optimal performance. This valve integrates a wall-mounted bath filler with a diverter, an adjustable shower head on a riser rail, multiple spray patterns, and a stylish polished chrome finish.

FAQs

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The valve performs best with a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar. Flow rates are provided for various pressures, including 0.2 bar (3.7 L/min).

Does this mixer include the shower head and riser rail?

Yes, the product description mentions an adjustable shower head on a riser rail, indicating these are typically included.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 5-year guarantee specifically on the Bath Shower Mixer Valve.

Can I use this with an electric shower system?

This is a thermostatic mixer valve, designed to blend hot and cold water from your main supply. It is not designed to work with the heating element of an electric shower.

How does the diverter work?

The diverter is typically a lever or button on the valve body that, when operated, redirects the water flow from the bath filler spout to the shower head outlet.

Is professional installation necessary?

Yes, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure the valve is fitted correctly, safely, and to its optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable.

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and have adequate pressure. Check for any blockages in the shower head or internal valve components. Ensure the thermostatic mechanism is not obstructed.

Diverter is difficult to switch or leaks.

Check for debris around the diverter mechanism. If the issue persists, the diverter cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Ensure the water pressure is within the recommended range.

Low water flow from shower head or bath filler.

Verify your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar recommended). Clean the shower head and check for any kinks or blockages in the flexible hose. Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open.

Chrome finish is dull or discolored.

Clean the surface with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that can damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of this thermostatic bath shower mixer valve should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections and optimal performance. The system requires connections for hot and cold water supply, as well as an outlet for the bath filler and the shower. The diverter mechanism needs to be properly seated to ensure a reliable switch between functions.

Compatibility: This valve is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems. It performs best with a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar. For systems with significantly lower pressure, performance may be reduced. The valve is compatible with unvented and pumped hot water systems.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal components and to ensure the longevity of the thermostatic control, periodic descaling of the shower head may be necessary, depending on your water hardness.
