Full details

This Edwardian Bath Shower Mixer is designed for homeowners looking to add a classical and traditional aesthetic to their bathroom. Its key benefit lies in its authentic Edwardian styling, complemented by high-quality brass construction with a flawless chrome finish.

FAQs

What type of water systems is this tap compatible with?

This tap is suitable for Combi-boilers and High Pressure water systems, requiring a minimum of 0.5 bar pressure (1.0 bar recommended).

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Always buff dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the shine.

What does 'quarter-turn handles' mean?

It means the tap only requires a quarter turn of the handle to go from fully off to fully on, offering precise control and ease of use compared to traditional screw-down taps.

Can I use this tap with a gravity-fed water system?

No, this tap is not suitable for low-pressure or gravity-fed systems as it requires a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar.

Does the shower head have multiple spray settings?

The product description indicates a 'top quality shower head' with an easy-to-use lever, but does not specify multiple spray settings. It is designed for a standard shower flow.

What are the dimensions of the tap?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information. Please refer to the product's technical drawing or contact the retailer for detailed measurements.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from taps or shower head

Check that the water system pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar (1.0 bar recommended). Ensure no kinks in the water supply lines and that the flow restrictors, if present, are not blocked.

Tap is dripping when turned off

The internal ceramic disc or washer may be worn. This typically requires replacing the quarter-turn valve or cartridge. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation or consult a plumber.

Difficulty switching between bath and shower function

Ensure the lever mechanism is clean and free from debris. If the problem persists, the diverter valve may require servicing or replacement by a professional.

Chrome finish appears dull or has water spots

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This bath shower mixer is suitable for Combi-boilers and High Pressure water systems.
