Installation Instructions for Fontana 3-Way Digital Shower Mixer

The Fontana digital display mixer is a 3-way shower control designed to coordinate multiple shower functions while displaying temperature information and supporting thermostatic water control.

System Overview

Digital Temperature Display & Shower Control

The digital temperature display used with the color-changing LED shower system combines style, comfort and temperature monitoring within the shower-control interface.

The Fontana digital display mixer functions as a 3-way mixer control and can coordinate several shower components within the same system.

Temperature

Digital Display

The mixer incorporates a digital display used to show temperature information as part of the shower-control system.

Control

3-Way Mixer

The control is designed as a three-way mixer for managing multiple shower functions from one coordinated interface.

System

Complete Shower Operation

The mixer is described as controlling the shower functions and turning on the complete system.

Three-Way Function Control

Shower Functions Connected to the Digital Mixer

The 3-way digital mixer is designed to work with several shower functions, including the main shower head, handheld shower and adjustable body-jet sprayers.

Shower Head Main overhead water-delivery function connected to the mixer-control system.
Handheld Shower Flexible handheld shower function operated through the same digital mixer system.
Adjustable Body Jets Rotating body-jet sprayers provide an additional water-delivery function within the shower.
Control Sequence

How the Digital Mixer Coordinates the Shower System

The mixer receives the hot and cold water supply, regulates the mixed temperature through its thermostatic control and then directs water to the selected shower functions.

Hot Supply Hot water enters the mixer.
Cold Supply Cold water enters the mixer.
Thermostatic Mixer Mixed temperature is regulated.
Digital Control Functions are selected at the control.
Shower Outlets Water is delivered to the selected functions.
Function Operation

Operate Shower Functions Together or Separately

The source describes the digital shower system as allowing the connected shower functions to operate individually or together.

Individual Function Operation

A selected shower function can be operated separately, allowing the user to choose only the desired water outlet.

Combined Function Operation

Multiple shower functions can also be operated together, allowing the shower head, handheld shower or body jets to work as part of a combined shower experience.

Temperature & Pressure Management

Built-In Thermostatic Pressure-Balancing Control

The shower thermostatic control valve is equipped with a built-in pressure-balancing volume-control valve. Its purpose is to help maintain the selected water temperature while the shower system is operating.

This control function is especially relevant when several shower outlets are connected to the same mixer and the system is being operated in different combinations.

Installation Coordination

Components to Coordinate During Installation

The 3-way mixer should be coordinated with the shower outlets and control functions before the system is enclosed. The supplied source identifies the following main elements as part of the overall shower configuration.

Digital Mixer Control Central control for the connected shower functions and temperature display.
Main Shower Head Principal overhead outlet connected to the mixer system.
Handheld Shower Secondary flexible shower outlet controlled through the mixer.
Adjustable Body Jets Rotating wall-mounted sprayers connected as additional shower functions.
Thermostatic Valve Regulates mixed water temperature during shower operation.
Pressure-Balancing Volume Control Helps stabilize the water temperature while the shower is operating.
Digital Shower System Coordination

Coordinate the Mixer With the Complete Shower System

The Fontana 3-way digital mixer acts as the central control point for the shower head, handheld shower and adjustable body jets while providing digital temperature display and thermostatic control.

Because the functions can operate separately or together, the mixer should be coordinated with the full shower configuration before installation is completed.

Coordinate a 3-Way Digital Shower Mixer Before Rough-In

Three-way digital mixers require coordinated hot and cold supplies, outlet routing, thermostatic control, electrical connections, and accessible servicing. Before installation, verify pressure range, valve orientation, controller location, wiring protection, rough-in depth, and connections to the shower head, hand shower, and body jets.
