Product Information

Full details

The Built Right Thermostatic Shower Mixer Bar is ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathroom with a precise temperature-controlled shower system that is easy to install. Its key benefit is the independent dual-control system that prevents accidental scalding, though users should ensure their plumbing meets the 1.0 bar minimum pressure requirement for optimal performance. This wall-mounted unit combines a sleek, exposed design with a practical handheld shower head to provide a versatile and comfortable washing experience for all members of the household.

FAQs

Does this work with a combi boiler?

Yes, this mixer bar is fully compatible with most standard combi boiler systems.

What is the minimum pressure required?

The system requires a minimum operating pressure of 1.0 bar.

Can I use this with a gravity-fed system?

You can, provided your gravity-fed system can produce at least 1.0 bar of pressure, often requiring the use of a shower pump.

Is the handheld shower head adjustable?

Yes, it is connected via a flexible hose, allowing you to move it freely for rinsing.

How do I prevent limescale buildup?

Regularly wipe the unit dry after use and soak the shower head in a mild descaling solution or white vinegar periodically.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is fluctuating or inconsistent

Check that your hot and cold supply pressures are balanced and meet the 1.0 bar minimum requirement.

Low water flow from the shower head

Unscrew the shower head and clear any debris or limescale from the nozzles; check the hose for any kinks or blockages.

Temperature control handle feels stiff

Ensure no mineral deposits have built up around the handle seal; a light application of silicone grease may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise thermostatic safety prevents temperature spikes
  • Easy installation without complex wall modifications
  • User-friendly dual handles for independent control
  • Includes handheld attachment for added versatility
  • Compatible with a wide range of standard plumbing systems

Cons

  • Requires a minimum pressure of 1.0 bar to function correctly
  • Exposed design may not appeal to those preferring fully concealed plumbing
  • Not suitable for very low-pressure gravity systems without an added pump

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This system is designed for standard wall-mounted installations with 150mm centers, which is common in many UK bathrooms. Before installation, confirm that your system delivers at least 1.0 bar of pressure; if your existing setup is below this, the thermostatic cartridge may not engage correctly, leading to lukewarm water.

For ongoing care, wipe the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its luster. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface plating. Periodically inspect the shower head nozzle for limescale buildup and soak it in a vinegar-water solution if you notice the spray pattern becoming uneven.
