Product Information

Full details

The Affine Dual Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower in brushed brass is designed for homeowners seeking a premium and reliable showering experience. Its key benefit is the consistent temperature control provided by the thermostatic valve, ensuring comfort for all users, even in busy households. A potential caveat is that it requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar, making it unsuitable for very low-pressure systems. This shower system features a large overhead drencher, an adjustable handset, and a contemporary brushed brass finish for a stylish bathroom upgrade.

FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower?

The Affine Dual Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar.

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

This shower is designed for high-pressure and combi boiler systems. It is not typically recommended for low-pressure gravity-fed systems unless a suitable booster pump is installed to meet the minimum 0.5 bar requirement.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Does the shower come with a hose and riser rail?

Yes, the package includes the thermostatic twin valve, a 220mm overhead shower head, an adjustable handset, a shower hose, and a riser rail.

What is the spray pattern like on the shower heads?

Both the overhead drencher and the adjustable handset feature a single, consistent spray pattern designed for optimal coverage and comfort.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Affine Dual Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

How do I switch between the overhead shower and the handset?

There is an integrated diverter on the thermostatic bar valve that allows you to effortlessly switch the water flow between the overhead drencher and the adjustable handset.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or fluctuating temperature

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve. Ensure your boiler is functioning correctly and that there is sufficient hot water supply. Verify the thermostatic valve is not blocked internally.

Low water flow from shower heads

Ensure the system meets the minimum 0.5 bar pressure requirement. Check the shower heads and handset for any blockages from limescale or debris. Clean the filters within the connections if necessary.

Diverter not switching between outlets

Inspect the diverter mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Ensure it is operated smoothly. If the issue persists, internal valve components may need inspection.

Shower valve leaking

Check all connections for tightness. If the leak appears to be from the valve body itself, internal seals may be worn and require replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.

  • Water-efficient design contributes to reduced consumption.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Affine Dual Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower features an exposed, rear wall-fed installation, designed for straightforward fitting and accessible servicing. Ensure your water supply lines are correctly positioned on the wall for connection.

Compatibility: This shower is compatible with high-pressure and combi boiler systems. A minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is required for optimal performance. It is designed for standard UK plumbing connections.

Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, regularly clean the shower with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale removal, a mild, non-abrasive limescale remover can be used sparingly on the shower heads and handset, followed by a thorough rinse and polish.
