Is the valve safe to touch during use?

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the water system pressure is within the 1-5 bar range. Check that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly and has not been tampered with. Regular maintenance of the valve may be required.

One of the shower outlets is not working.

Verify that the diverter is correctly positioned to direct water to the desired outlet. Check for any blockages within the showerhead or hose connected to the inactive outlet.

The valve surface feels hot to touch.

While designed with cool-touch technology, extreme prolonged use or very high water temperatures might still cause some warmth. If it feels excessively hot or causes concern, check system water temperature and consult a professional if the issue persists.

Low water flow from showerheads.

Check for limescale buildup in the showerheads and clean them. Ensure the water system pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1 bar. Inspect the hoses and riser rail for any kinks or blockages.
