FAME Compacta Electronic Shower
Enjoy a more comfortable and personalised shower with the FAME Compacta Electronic Shower. Designed with electronic temperature control, Smart Diverter technology and adjustable directional spray, the Compacta gives you greater control over your shower while combining compact styling with practical functionality.
Available in multiple power configurations and three stylish finishes, the FAME Compacta is designed for modern bathrooms and can be used with gas and solar heating systems.
Available in 3 Incredible Colours
Bring a stylish touch to your bathroom with the FAME Compacta Electronic Shower, available in three modern colour options:
Black, White & Chrome
🚿 Electronic Temperature Control Within Reach
The FAME Compacta features an electronic temperature selector that allows you to adjust the water temperature from Off (“O”) through to Maximum (“MAX”).
The removable extension rod brings the temperature control within approximately 30 cm of reach, making it easier to adjust the temperature without having to reach directly into the shower unit.
To increase the temperature, simply turn the selector clockwise towards MAX. To reduce the temperature, turn it counterclockwise towards OFF. The OFF position can also be useful on hot days when heating is not required, helping to reduce electrical energy consumption.
💧 Smart Diverter Technology
The Compacta incorporates Smart Diverter technology, allowing the water outlet to be directed through the main shower diffuser or used with the included manual hand shower.
The integrated system is designed to provide convenient control over how you use the water, while the adjustable shower assembly allows the spray direction to be positioned for a more comfortable shower.
🎯 Adjustable Directional Spray
The shower features an adjustable diffuser designed to provide a directional spray. This allows you to position the water flow according to your preferred showering position.
The Compacta also includes an Intense/Compacta manual hand shower, providing an additional showering option when required.
🔥 Long-Lasting Heater
FAME highlights the Compacta's long-lasting heating element, with the product range available in different power configurations to suit different electrical installations.
🧼 Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
The Compacta includes a particle-retention screen at the water inlet to help prevent debris from entering the equipment. FAME states that the screen should only be removed for cleaning and then reinstalled.
The shower body can be cleaned using a moistened cloth only. Abrasive cleaning products should not be used. If the spray plate becomes obstructed by debris, the manual recommends cleaning the showerhead externally using a non-abrasive sponge.
🌡️ Built-In Thermal Protection
The FAME Compacta incorporates thermal protection designed to automatically switch the product off if the incoming water temperature becomes too high.
Compact Design
The FAME Compacta has a compact design measuring approximately:
- Height: 30 cm
- Width: 20.5 cm
- Depth: 22.5 cm
Easy Element Maintenance
The Compacta Electronic Shower is designed for easy heating element maintenance and replacement, making servicing simpler and more convenient over the life of the product.
