Product Information
Full details
The Architeckt Concealed Shower Head - Aurora is designed for modern bathrooms seeking a sleek, integrated look with enhanced shower functionality. It offers a space-saving in-wall installation and a versatile triple outlet system. A key benefit is the combination of a large drencher head for a spa-like experience and a practical handset for everyday use, all managed by a precise thermostatic valve. One caveat to consider is the minimum bar pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar for optimal performance.

FAQs
What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower system?
The system requires a minimum of 0.5 Bar of water pressure to operate effectively.
Can I use all three outlets simultaneously?
Yes, the triple outlet mixer allows for the simultaneous use of the drencher head, standard shower head, and bath filler, subject to your home's water pressure and flow rate capabilities.
How do I clean the 200mm drencher head?
The drencher head features easy-clean rub-clean nozzles. Simply wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any limescale buildup. For the main body, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Architeckt Concealed Shower Head - Aurora comes with a 5-year guarantee.
Is this shower system suitable for combi boilers?
Yes, provided the combi boiler can supply adequate hot water and pressure (minimum 0.5 Bar) to all three outlets if used simultaneously. It is also compatible with systems that have a separate hot water cylinder.
What material is the shower head made of?
The shower head is constructed from durable 304-grade stainless steel.
What are the benefits of thermostatic control?
Thermostatic control ensures a consistent and safe water temperature, preventing sudden and potentially dangerous changes in heat due to pressure fluctuations in the water supply.
Troubleshooting
No water or very low flow from outlets
Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the minimum required water pressure (0.5 Bar) is met. Check for any blockages in the inlet filters or pipework. Verify that the correct outlets are selected on the mixer.
Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuating
Ensure the thermostatic valve is correctly installed and functioning. Check for significant fluctuations in the main hot or cold water supply pressure. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.
One outlet is not working correctly
Inspect the specific pipework and connection for that outlet. Ensure no debris is blocking the outlet nozzle or internal valve mechanism for that specific function.
Leaking from the concealed valve area
This typically requires access to the concealed valve. Turn off the water supply and contact a qualified plumber to inspect and repair the valve or its connections.

- Cleaning the Valve/Controls: Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads or cleaning agents, as they can damage the finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for any signs of leaks or wear. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly.
