        FAME Compacta Electronic Shower - Premium Squeegees from Securadeal

        🚿 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. The element can be accessed, cleaned and replaced when required, helping keep the shower performing efficiently. For a step-by-step demonstration, you can view the easy instructional guide provided in the attached PDF.

        The FAME Compacta Electronic Shower is a high-powered electrical appliance and must be installed correctly to ensure safe and reliable operation.

        • Professional Installation: Installation is recommended to be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
        • Dedicated Electrical Circuit: The shower must be connected to an exclusive and independent electrical circuit.
        • Correct Circuit Protection: The circuit breaker must be correctly rated for the specific voltage and power configuration.
        • Proper Earthing: The green grounding wire must be connected to an effective grounding system. The neutral wire must never be used as grounding.
        • No Plug or Socket: Plugs and sockets must never be used for the shower's electrical installation.
        • Correct Voltage: The electrical supply must match the voltage specified for the particular product.
        • Water Connection: The hydraulic connection should be 1/2" GAS.
        • Water Before Heating: Before using the shower, allow water to flow through the unit for several seconds to fill the internal heating chamber and check for leaks.
        • IP24 Protection: The unit has an IP-24 protection rating.

        ⚠️ Important Safety Notice

        Do not attempt to install or modify the electrical connection yourself.

        The FAME Compacta is available in power ratings up to 7,800W, and incorrect electrical installation can create a serious risk of electric shock, fire, equipment damage or injury.

        Always have the shower installed and tested by a suitably qualified person using the correct voltage, conductor size, circuit breaker, grounding and electrical protection for the specific model.

        The shower can produce water at temperatures capable of causing burns. Children, elderly users and people requiring assistance should be supervised, and the water temperature should always be properly regulated before and during use.

        Please note: The manual specifically states that the connector, thread-sealing tape, screwdriver/Phillips and certain installation materials are not supplied with the product.

        Do I need a geyser for these FAME electric showers?
        No - they heat water instantly as it flows, so no geyser or hot-water tank is required. You get continuous hot water on demand.
        Does an electric shower use less electricity than a geyser?
        Yes. It only heats water while you shower instead of keeping a full tank hot all day, which can significantly cut your water-heating costs.
        Can I replace the heating element myself?
        Yes - the element is user-replaceable. Unscrew the old one and fit a new element in minutes, saving on call-outs and extending the unit's life.
        What electrical connection does it need?
        It should be installed by a qualified electrician on a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker and earth-leakage protection.
        Will it work with low water pressure?
        Yes - these FAME electric showers are designed to work across a range of household water pressures.
