FAQs

What is a thermostatic shower mixer?

A thermostatic shower mixer automatically maintains a set water temperature, adjusting for fluctuations in hot and cold water supply. This prevents sudden temperature changes, ensuring a safer and more comfortable shower.

Can I use this shower with a hot water system that isn't a combi-boiler?

Yes, this shower is compatible with various water systems including gravity-fed, unvented, and combi-boilers, provided your system meets the minimum and maximum operating pressure requirements.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or acidic products which can damage the finish. For limescale, use a mild, pH-neutral descaler and rinse thoroughly.

What is the benefit of dual shower heads?

Dual shower heads offer enhanced flexibility. You can choose between the immersive experience of an overhead shower and the targeted control of a handheld shower, or even use both for a comprehensive wash.

Is the riser rail height adjustable?

Yes, the riser rail is adjustable, allowing you to position the handheld shower head at a comfortable height for different users.

What maintenance is required for the thermostatic valve?

Regular cleaning of the shower heads and checking for any visible leaks is recommended. The thermostatic valve itself is generally low maintenance but should be inspected during routine plumbing checks.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Ensure the thermostatic valve has been installed correctly and that there are no blockages in the hot or cold water inlets. Check your home's water pressure to ensure it meets the minimum requirements.

Low water pressure from shower heads.

Check for blockages in the shower heads or internal filters. Verify that your home's water pressure is sufficient and that no other high-demand water appliances are running simultaneously.

Mixer bar feels warm to the touch.

While designed to be cool-touch, some residual warmth may be felt under very high usage. If the bar becomes excessively hot, immediately turn off the water supply and consult a professional installer to check the thermostatic valve and installation.

Handheld shower head drips after use.

This is often normal due to residual water in the hose and head. If dripping is excessive or continuous, ensure the diverter is fully engaged and check the seals within the shower head and connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Professional installation is recommended to ensure the thermostatic mixer is correctly plumbed and functioning safely. Ensure your existing water system can support the flow rates and pressures required by a multi-function shower system.

Compatibility:

This shower system is designed to be compatible with most standard UK and European water systems, including gravity-fed, combi-boiler, and pumped systems. However, it is crucial to check the minimum and maximum water pressure requirements specified by VitrA to ensure optimal performance.

Care:

To maintain the contemporary matt black finish, clean the shower system regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale buildup on the shower heads, use a mild descaler and a soft brush, rinsing thoroughly afterward. Periodically check all connections for leaks.
