Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Cobalt Shower Pack 2 is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, square-profile shower solution with versatile functionality. Its key benefit is the dual functionality, offering both a large fixed overhead shower and a flexible handheld shower, controlled by a single, neat valve. A potential caveat for some installations is the requirement for rear access to service filters, which may add complexity to maintenance in certain bathroom layouts.

FAQs

What is the minimum wall cavity depth required for installation?

The shower valve is designed to fit into a minimum wall cavity depth of 35mm.

Can I use this shower with a combi boiler?

Yes, this shower pack is compatible with combi boilers, provided they can supply adequate water pressure and flow.

How do I clean the shower head and handset?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild soap. For limescale, soak the affected parts in a solution of white vinegar for a few hours, then rinse and wipe clean.

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

Use the integrated diverter control on the shower valve. Simply turn the appropriate knob or lever to select your desired outlet.

Does the handset have multiple spray functions?

No, this model features a single-function handset.

What type of connections does the valve use?

The shower valve uses standard 15mm inlet connections.

Is rear access necessary for maintenance?

Yes, rear access is required to service the inlet filters. The cartridge can be accessed from the front.

Troubleshooting

No water or low flow from shower head/handset.

Check that the diverter is correctly positioned. Ensure water isolation valves are fully open. Clean any blockages in the shower head nozzles or handset by soaking in a vinegar solution. Check and clean inlet filters which require rear access.

Difficulty controlling temperature.

Ensure hot and cold water supplies are connected correctly and providing adequate pressure. The thermostatic cartridge may require cleaning or replacement if temperature regulation is consistently poor. Ensure the correct installation and alignment of the valve.

Diverter not switching between outlets.

The diverter mechanism may have debris. Attempt to flush the system. If the issue persists, the diverter may need servicing or replacement, which requires accessing the valve assembly.

Leaking from valve or connections.

Check all plumbing connections are secure. Ensure any seals or washers are correctly seated and intact. If leaking from the valve body, the internal cartridge or seals may be faulty and require replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern, bold square aesthetic complements contemporary bathrooms.
  • Offers two distinct showering experiences (fixed head and handset).
  • Requires minimal wall cavity depth (35mm), aiding installation.
  • Dual controls provide precise temperature and flow management.
  • Front access to the cartridge simplifies maintenance.

Cons

  • Requires rear access for filter servicing, which may complicate maintenance in tight spaces.
  • Handset is single-function only.
  • Fixed head requires a shower arm, adding to the overall projection from the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your water system can supply adequate pressure for the shower. Minimum 35mm wall cavity depth is required for the valve.
  2. Connect the 15mm inlet pipes according to standard plumbing practices.
  3. Install the fixed shower head with the included arm, and mount the handset holder at a convenient height.
  4. Attach the shower hose to the handset and the wall outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all standard UK water systems.
  • Requires separate hot and cold water feeds.

Care:

  • Clean the shower head and handset regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent limescale buildup. A vinegar solution can be effective for stubborn deposits.
  • Wipe down the valve and handles with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.
  • Periodically check and clean the filters, which require rear access.
