This document describes the Velino Bar Mixer Shower, a product designed for domestic use, providing a comfortable and safe showering experience. The mixer shower is engineered for ease of installation and maintenance, with clear instructions provided for both the installer and the user.
The Velino Bar Mixer Shower is a thermostatic mixer shower that blends hot and cold water supplies to deliver water at a consistent and safe temperature. It is designed to operate within specific pressure ranges, ensuring optimal performance and user safety. The shower features a temperature control knob, allowing users to adjust the water temperature to their preference, and a flow control knob to regulate the water volume. The thermostatic element within the mixer automatically compensates for fluctuations in the incoming hot and cold water pressures and temperatures, maintaining a stable output temperature. This prevents sudden changes in water temperature, which could lead to scalding or thermal shock.
The mixer shower is suitable for various domestic hot water systems, including gravity-fed systems, pumped gravity systems, fully modulating type combination boilers, multi-point hot water heaters, thermal storage systems, and unvented systems. Specific installation guidelines are provided for each type of system to ensure correct operation and compliance with relevant regulations. For instance, in gravity-fed systems, the mixer requires a minimum head of one metre from the base of the cold water cistern to the top of the shower head. For instantaneous gas-heated systems, an expansion vessel may be required to manage pressure fluctuations.
The shower is equipped with an override button that allows users to temporarily exceed the maximum temperature setting for specific tasks, such as cleaning the shower area, but it reverts to the safe maximum temperature once released. This feature enhances usability while maintaining safety. The design also incorporates check valves to prevent cross-flow between hot and cold water supplies, ensuring hygienic operation.
The Velino Bar Mixer Shower is designed for intuitive and user-friendly operation. The temperature control knob allows for precise adjustment of the water temperature, with clear markings for hot and cold. The flow control knob enables users to easily turn the shower on and off and adjust the water flow rate to their desired intensity. The mixer's robust construction ensures durability and reliable performance over time.
For safety, the shower is pre-set to a maximum temperature that prevents accidental scalding. Users can adjust this maximum temperature if needed, following the instructions provided in the manual, but it is recommended to keep it within safe limits, typically around 41°C for showering. The thermostatic control ensures that even if one of the water supplies fails, the shower will automatically shut off to prevent either scalding from hot water or thermal shock from cold water.
The shower head is designed to be positioned at a suitable height for comfortable showering, with guidelines provided for optimal placement during installation. The mixer's aesthetic design is intended to complement various bathroom decors, offering a sleek and modern appearance.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the Velino Bar Mixer Shower. The manual provides detailed instructions for routine cleaning and periodic checks.
The external surfaces of the mixer shower should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads should be avoided as they can damage the chrome-plated surfaces and invalidate the warranty. For cleaning the filters, the manual advises turning off the water supplies before starting. The inlet filters should be inspected and cleaned periodically to prevent blockages that could affect water flow and temperature stability.
It is recommended to perform a thermal shut-off test every three months. This involves checking the maximum temperature setting and ensuring that the shower performs a thermal shut-off if the cold water supply fails. This test confirms the proper functioning of the thermostatic element, which is vital for user safety.
In areas with hard water, limescale can build up within the shower mixer and head, affecting performance. The manual recommends de-scaling the shower head and mixer internals as needed. For the shower head, soaking it in a suitable de-scaling solution can remove mineral deposits. For the mixer internals, professional assistance may be required for thorough de-scaling. Regular de-scaling helps maintain optimal water flow and temperature control.
The manual includes a comprehensive fault-finding guide to help users and installers diagnose and resolve common issues. This section lists various problems, their potential causes, and recommended actions or cures. For example, if the water is too hot or too cold, the guide suggests checking the temperature control knob, ambient cold water temperature, or hot water supply. If the shower unit is blocked, inspecting the inlet filters is recommended. For more complex issues, the guide advises contacting a competent plumber or Triton Customer Experience.
Genuine Triton spare parts are available for purchase, ensuring that any necessary replacements maintain the product's quality and performance. Information on how to order spare parts is provided, including contact details and website information.
The product comes with a warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a specified period. Users are advised to register their product online to ensure full warranty coverage. The warranty terms and conditions are detailed in the manual, outlining what is covered and what is not. Proper installation and maintenance, as per the instructions, are essential to keep the warranty valid.
In summary, the Velino Bar Mixer Shower is a reliable, safe, and user-friendly product designed for domestic showering, with clear guidelines for installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure long-term satisfaction.
