FAQs

What is a thermostatic mixer shower?

A thermostatic mixer shower uses a valve that automatically regulates the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a pre-set temperature, ensuring a safe and consistent shower experience.

What does 'concealed' mean for a shower valve?

Concealed means that the main working parts of the shower valve are installed within the wall cavity, leaving only the controls and faceplate visible for a clean, minimalist look.

Can I install this myself?

Due to the concealed nature of the valve, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure proper and safe functioning.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For limescale, use a mild water and white vinegar solution, rinse well.

What is the size of the main shower head?

The main shower head included is 200mm in diameter.

What water pressure is required?

While specific minimums vary, it's designed to work effectively with most standard UK water systems. Consult your plumber for exact requirements for your system, especially for optimal performance with the 200mm head.

Does it come with a handset and rail?

Yes, this model includes a slider rail and a handset for added convenience and versatility.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Ensure the thermostatic mixer is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water inlets. If the issue persists, contact a qualified plumber as the internal mechanism may require servicing.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Check if the flow is restricted by limescale buildup in the shower head or handset. Unscrew and clean the shower head. Also, verify that the water supply valves are fully open and that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements.

Leaking from the valve or controls.

If the valve is newly installed, check all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, it may indicate a faulty cartridge or seal. This requires professional attention to access and replace the faulty component.

Matte black finish showing water spots or discoloration.

Clean the surface immediately after use with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a concealed shower valve, meaning the main valve body is installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure correct pipe connections, sealing, and safe operation. Ensure your wall cavity has adequate space and is suitable for concealing the valve.

Compatibility: This mixer shower requires a suitable water system. It is generally compatible with most standard UK water systems, including combi boilers, unvented systems, and gravity-fed systems, provided they meet minimum pressure requirements for optimal performance. Always consult your plumber regarding compatibility with your specific home water system.

Care: To maintain the matte black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For limescale removal, use a mild solution of water and white vinegar, applied gently and rinsed thoroughly. Periodically check the shower head and handset for any blockages and clean as needed.
