Product Information

Full details

This comprehensive package from Buyaparcel is designed for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathroom with a stylish and functional thermostatic mixer shower and a complementary basin mixer tap. Its key benefit is the thermostatic control for consistent, safe water temperature and the modern matte black aesthetic. A potential caveat is the minimum pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar for the shower and 0.2 Bar for the tap. This set features a high-quality solid brass thermostatic exposed shower mixer, an ultra-slim 200mm square shower head, and a mini mixer tap with a waterfall spout, all finished in a sleek black matte.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the minimum pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar is met. Check that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly and has not been obstructed. If the issue persists, consult a qualified plumber.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Check for blockages in the shower head or hose. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Verify that the system pressure meets the minimum requirement.

Tap is not dispensing water or has very low flow.

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are on and have sufficient pressure (ideally balanced, min 0.2 Bar). Inspect the tap's inlet hoses for kinks or blockages. Ensure the aerator on the spout is not clogged.

Water leaks from the shower valve or tap.

Check all connections for tightness. Ensure any washers or seals are correctly seated and not damaged. If leaks persist, the valve or tap may require servicing or replacement of internal components.

Anti-scald device seems to be preventing hot water.

The anti-scald device is set to 38°C for safety. If you require hotter water, consult the manual for adjustment procedures, but be aware of safety implications. Ensure there is adequate hot water supply.
