Product Information

Full details

This VitrA Aquaheat Bliss Thermostatic Mixer Shower is ideal for homeowners seeking a customizable and safe shower experience without complex installation. Its key benefit is the dual shower head system with multiple flow options and a thermostatic mixer for consistent temperature. A potential consideration is the water flow rate, which is capped at 12L per minute, which may be lower than some high-flow expectations.

FAQs

What type of water systems is this shower compatible with?

This shower is compatible with most domestic water systems, including combi boilers, unvented systems, and gravity-fed systems, provided minimum pressure requirements are met.

How do I adjust the height of the shower head?

The shower column is extendable. Loosen the securing mechanism on the column and slide it up or down to your desired height, then re-tighten.

What is the 'Safe Touch' feature?

The 'Safe Touch' feature ensures the surface of the mixer bar remains cool to the touch during operation by circulating cold water around the hot water core, enhancing user safety.

Can I change the flow rate if it's too low?

The system is designed to deliver a maximum of 12 liters per minute. Flow rate is typically dependent on your home's water pressure. You may be able to increase flow slightly by ensuring your system's pressure is optimal and that filters are clean.

What is the warranty period for this shower system?

The VitrA Aquaheat Bliss Thermostatic Mixer Shower comes with a 5-year warranty.

How often should I clean the shower system?

For optimal performance and appearance, it is recommended to clean the shower system regularly, such as weekly, using a soft, damp cloth and mild cleaning solutions when necessary.

Does the system come with all necessary parts for installation?

The system includes the main mixer unit, extendable column, main shower head, hand shower, and hoses. Basic plumbing fittings for connecting to your water supply may be required and are typically not included, depending on your existing setup.

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from shower heads

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are fully turned on. Ensure there are no kinks in the hoses. Verify that the filters within the inlets are clean and not blocked. Confirm water pressure meets the minimum requirements for the system.

Water temperature is not consistent or is too hot/cold

Ensure the thermostatic mixer is functioning correctly. Check that the hot and cold water supplies are balanced. If the issue persists, refer to the manual for recalibration or contact customer support.

Mixer bar feels hot to the touch

The 'Safe Touch' feature should keep the bar cool. If it feels excessively hot, this could indicate a malfunction in the cold water circulation system around the hot water core. Cease use and contact customer support.

Hand shower spray patterns are not working correctly

Ensure the diverter is fully engaged to select the desired flow. Check the hand shower head for any blockages in the nozzles that might affect the spray pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shower system is designed for surface mounting, meaning it attaches to the wall externally. Ensure you have hot and cold water inlets accessible at the desired location. Follow the provided installation manual carefully, paying attention to securing the unit firmly to the wall and connecting the water supplies.

Compatibility:

This thermostatic mixer shower is compatible with most standard domestic water systems, including combi boilers, unvented systems, and gravity-fed systems (ensure minimum pressure requirements are met as per the manual). It requires both hot and cold water supplies.

Care:

To maintain the chrome effect finish, regularly clean the shower system with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup, use a mild descaler specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, rinsing thoroughly afterward.
