FAQs
Is this shower suitable for a low-pressure water system?
Yes, the shower is designed to work with all water systems. However, flow rates will be lower at lower pressures, as indicated in the technical specifications. For optimal performance, a minimum of 0.5 bar pressure is recommended.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
To maintain the matt black finish, use only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the surface. A mild, non-abrasive soap can be used if necessary, followed by rinsing and drying.
What is the warranty period for this shower?
This shower comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer, covering manufacturing defects.
Can I adjust the height of the shower handset?
Yes, the shower handset is mounted on a riser rail, allowing you to easily move it up or down to your preferred height.
How is the temperature controlled?
The shower features a thermostatic mixer valve with a dedicated control for temperature. You set your desired temperature, and the valve maintains it automatically.
What are the dimensions of the shelf?
The integrated shelf is conveniently located above the valve, providing ample space for your toiletries. Specific shelf dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to hold standard-sized bottles.
Do I need a special type of boiler for this shower?
No, this shower is compatible with all water systems and boiler types, including combi-boilers, conventional systems, and unvented systems.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature is not consistent.
Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check if there are any blockages in the filter or if the water pressure is too low. If issues persist, contact a professional plumber.
Low water flow from the overhead drencher or handset.
Check the flow rate against the specifications for your water pressure. Clean any limescale buildup from the showerhead and handset. Ensure the stop valves on the inlets are fully open. Verify there are no kinks in the flexible hose.
Leaking from the valve or connections.
Turn off the water supply. Check that all connections are secure and that any seals or washers are correctly seated and in good condition. If the valve itself is leaking internally, it may need replacement.
Matt black finish shows water spots or marks.
Wipe down the shower with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
