Tails’ Take on Clear Temperature Control with a Compact Bar Design

The Kartell Source chrome thermostatic bath shower mixer has a reassuringly solid bar-shaped body, rounded control knobs and clearly marked temperature settings that make the operating layout easy to understand at a glance. Its integrated bath spout keeps the fitting compact on the rim, while the diverter adds the option of handheld showering once a compatible hose and handset are connected; the polished chrome surface gives the whole arrangement a crisp finish that sits comfortably alongside matching taps and accessories.

Is the Source Thermostatic Mixer Right for Your Bath?

Check the bath drilling, water pressure and separate shower components before preparing the installation.

Who Should Buy

Households Wanting Thermostatic Bath Filling

The thermostatic valve regulates the selected mixed-water temperature rather than relying on repeated manual balancing.

Baths Needing Filling and Handheld Showering

The built-in diverter allows water to be directed between the bath spout and a separately selected shower handset.

Bathrooms Using Rounded Chrome Controls

Its cylindrical body and knobs coordinate naturally with curved chrome taps, valves and accessories.

Who Shouldn’t Buy

Buyers Expecting a Complete Shower Kit

The shower hose and handset are not included and must be chosen separately to use the shower outlet.

Baths Prepared for One Tap Hole

The two deck-mounted connections require a bath rim drilled for two suitable mounting holes.

Systems Outside the Stated Pressure Range

The available supply must operate between 0.2 and 5 bar for this mixer’s confirmed specification.

Practical Details About the Source Bath Shower Mixer

What do the two controls and central button do?

One end control sets the mixed-water temperature, while the other manages the water flow. The central control diverts the supply between the bath spout and the separately connected shower handset. This arrangement keeps the three functions clearly divided across the tap body, so filling the bath and switching to handheld rinsing do not depend on one multi-purpose lever.

How will pressure affect bath-filling speed?

The mixer delivers 6.5 litres per minute at 0.2 bar and 12.5 litres at 1 bar. Output rises to 22.5 litres per minute at 3 bar and 29.3 litres at 5 bar. A higher-pressure supply will therefore fill the bath more quickly, while the confirmed 0.2 bar minimum makes the valve suitable for a wider range of domestic systems.

What must be added for handheld showering?

A compatible shower hose and handset need to be purchased separately, as neither is included with the mixer. Consider where the handset will be stored and whether a separate wall bracket is also needed for the planned layout. The hose should have enough freedom to reach the bathing area without becoming trapped behind the bath, catching on the taps or resting against nearby furniture.
