FAQs
Does this mixer come with a shower kit?
No, the Bristan Java Thermostatic Bath Shower Mixer does not include a shower kit (hose, handset, or wall bracket). These must be purchased separately.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Bristan Java Thermostatic Bath Shower Mixer comes with a 5-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.
What is the 42-degree safety stop?
The 42-degree safety stop is a feature designed to prevent scalding by limiting the maximum water temperature to 42°C. It can be overridden if hotter water is desired.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The mixer requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 bar for optimal performance. Flow rates increase significantly with higher pressures.
Can this mixer be used with a combi boiler system?
Yes, this thermostatic mixer is generally compatible with combination boiler systems, provided they can supply adequate hot and cold water pressure (minimum 0.2 bar).
What is the benefit of ceramic disc valves?
Ceramic disc valves are known for their durability and provide precise control over water flow and temperature compared to traditional washer types. They offer a long service life.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Check that the flow limiter is not obstructed. Ensure water supply pressures meet the minimum requirement (0.2 bar). Clean any aerators or filters if present.
Water temperature unstable
Verify that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no other appliances significantly altering hot or cold water supply pressure simultaneously. Clean the ceramic disc valves if they appear clogged.
Leaking from the spout or base
Check that the fixing nut is securely tightened. Inspect the internal seals and washers for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Thermostatic safety stop is too low
The 42-degree safety stop can be overridden if hotter water is required. Consult the product manual for instructions on how to adjust or temporarily bypass this safety feature.
No water from the showerhead
Confirm that a shower kit is correctly connected to the mixer outlet. Ensure the diverter (if applicable on the shower kit) is set to the shower function and that the mixer is turned on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This bath shower mixer is designed for installation on standard baths. Ensure your plumbing system is compatible and that the water supply is turned off before commencing installation. The mixer requires a tap hole diameter between 28-32mm. The included metal fixing nut should be used for a secure mount. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation guide for specific connections and mounting procedures. Remember, a shower kit (hose, handset, and wall bracket) is required and is not supplied with the product.
Compatibility:
This mixer is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It functions across a range of pressures from 0.2 to 5.0 bar, with performance varying as detailed in the flow rate table. It is designed for deck-mounted installation.
Care:
To maintain the chrome finish and functionality, clean the mixer regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. For internal components, routine checks as per the manufacturer's instructions are recommended. Periodically check the flow limiter and any filters for debris that might affect performance.
