FAQs
Does this mixer include a handheld shower attachment?
This unit is designed specifically as a bath shower mixer; please verify the specific package contents to ensure all handheld components are present.
Can I install this on a wooden floor?
Yes, but you must ensure the floor is structurally sound and that the plumbing connections underneath are properly supported.
Are the handles easy to change?
Yes, the handles are designed to be interchangeable, allowing you to switch between the diamond cross-hatch and smooth styles with standard tools.
What is the total height of the unit?
The Hydros Core stands at 1097mm tall.
Is the bronze finish durable?
The finish is high-quality, but it should be cleaned with non-abrasive cloths to prevent scratching or oxidation over time.
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product meets high standards for water safety and plumbing regulation compliance.
Troubleshooting
Weak or uneven water flow
Check your system pressure; if it is below 0.5 bar, the mixer will not perform correctly. Also, verify that the flexible tails are not kinked.
Difficulty adjusting temperature
This is often caused by debris in the 35mm cartridge. You may need to disassemble the handle and flush the cartridge or replace it if damaged.
Leaking at the base
Ensure the floor-mounting hardware is tightened securely and verify that the provided seals were installed correctly during the initial setup.

Cons
- Requires specific water pressure (0.5-5 bar)

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is designed for floor-mounted installation. Ensure your plumbing configuration is ready for a standing mixer before purchase, as the flexible tails require sufficient space beneath the floorboards.
Compatibility

- Mounting: Requires a rigid floor-mounted base.
Care Instructions
To maintain the bronze finish, wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the finish over time. Periodically check the base connection to ensure no leaks have developed due to floor movement or settlement.
