Product Information

Full details

This concealed shower and bath filler system by Aurora is ideal for modern bathrooms seeking a minimalist aesthetic and versatile functionality. Its key benefit is the dual-outlet system, allowing seamless switching between a large drencher head and a fixed shower head, all while maintaining precise temperature control. A potential caveat is the minimum bar pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar for optimal performance.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower bath filler?

The valve is backed by a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Can I use this with a low-pressure water system?

How do I switch between the drencher head and the fixed shower head?

The system features a diverter integrated into the mixer valve. Use the designated control to switch between the two outlets.

Is installation straightforward for a DIYer?

Due to its concealed nature, professional plumbing installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting.

What material is the shower head made from?

The shower head is constructed from durable 304-grade stainless steel with a polished chrome finish.

How large is the drencher head?

The drencher head is a generous 200mm in diameter, designed for a full-coverage shower experience.

Does this system include the wall-mounted controls?

Yes, the system includes the minimalistic square controls that are visible on the wall, along with the concealed valve and shower components.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water supply lines. Verify that the minimum required water pressure (0.5 Bar) is being met.

Low water flow from shower heads

Check that the minimum bar pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar is met. Clean the rub-clean nozzles on the shower head. Ensure no kinks or blockages exist in the shower hose or internal pipework.

Diverter between shower heads is not working

Inspect the diverter mechanism for any debris or obstruction. If issues persist, the internal components may require professional inspection or replacement.

Bath is overfilling despite overflow filler

Confirm the bath thickness does not exceed 10mm, as specified for the overflow filler. Ensure the waste component of the overflow filler is properly seated and not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation requires plumbing expertise due to the concealed nature of the valve. Ensure the wall cavity is adequate for the concealed unit. Follow the included installation manual carefully for correct pipe connections (G1/2") and diverter mechanism setup.

Compatibility:

  • Bath Thickness: The overflow filler is designed for baths with a maximum thickness of 10mm.
  • System Type: Compatible with most standard UK domestic water systems.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can damage the finish.
  • Shower Head: Periodically wipe the rub-clean nozzles on the shower head to remove any limescale buildup. A simple wipe with a cloth is usually sufficient.
  • Valve: The valve itself requires no user maintenance, but regular checks for leaks are recommended.
