How do I switch between spray patterns?
Rotate the shower head to select your preferred spray pattern.
What is the warranty period?
The Bristan Frenzy shower comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Check your product documentation for the specific details, but it typically covers manufacturing defects for a set period.
Can I use this shower with a combi boiler?
Yes, the Bristan Frenzy is compatible with most combi boiler systems. Ensure your water pressure is within the recommended range.
How do I clean the shower head?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the shower head regularly. For limescale, gently rub the nozzles to remove deposits.
What do I do if the water pressure is too low?
Check your mains water pressure. You might need to contact a plumber to increase the pressure if it is consistently low. Also, check for blockages in the shower head or hose.
What is the eco button for?
The eco button helps save water by limiting the flow. You can override it if you need a higher flow rate.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature fluctuates.
Check the hot and cold water supply pressure. Ensure that the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. If needed, descale the cartridge.
Low water flow.
Check for blockages in the shower head or hose. Ensure that the water supply valves are fully open. Clean or replace the shower head if it's blocked with limescale.
Shower valve is hot to touch.
The 'Safe Touch' technology should prevent the valve from getting hot. If it does, check the hot and cold water supply connections; they may be reversed.
Water drips from the shower head after use.
This is normal, but if it persists, check for leaks in the valve or shower head connections. Tighten or replace seals if needed.
