FAQs

What is the main advantage of dual control?

Dual control allows you to adjust water temperature and flow independently, giving you more precise control over your shower experience.

How do I clean the shower head and handset?

Both the drench head and handset have rub-clean nozzles. Simply rub your finger or a cloth over the nozzles to dislodge any limescale or debris.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The minimum recommended water pressure for this shower pack is 0.2 Bar.

Can I use the drench head and handset at the same time?

No, this shower pack features a diverter that allows you to select either the drench head or the handset, but not both simultaneously.

What is the guarantee period?

The Bristan Tangram shower pack comes with a 5-year parts guarantee and a 1-year labour guarantee.

Is the installation difficult?

The shower features an adjustable faceplate for easier installation into walls with varying depths. However, as it is a concealed valve, professional installation is recommended for best results.

What are the dimensions of the drench head?

The drench head is slimline and square, measuring 200mm in width and 200mm in depth.

Troubleshooting

Shower is not delivering hot water

Check that the hot water supply is functioning correctly and that the temperature control is turned to the desired setting. Ensure the hot and cold water inlets to the valve are correctly connected.

Low water pressure or flow

Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.2 Bar. Clean the rub-clean nozzles on the handset and drench head. Check for any blockages in the system or filters.

Diverter not switching between outlets

Ensure the diverter mechanism is operated smoothly. If stiff, a component may need servicing or replacement. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Leaking from the valve or connections

Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all connections for tightness and ensure any seals or washers are correctly in place and undamaged. If the valve body itself is leaking, servicing may be required.

Temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any debris that might be affecting the valve mechanism. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
