FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Grohe SilkMove cartridge?

The Grohe SilkMove 35mm ceramic cartridge provides exceptionally precise and smooth control over water flow and temperature, ensuring consistent comfort and ease of use over the product's lifespan.

How do I set the temperature limiter?

The temperature limiter is typically adjusted during installation. Consult the installation manual provided with your specific product for detailed instructions on how to set and adjust this safety feature.

Can I use this shower mixer with a low-pressure system?

This mixer requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar for optimal performance. For systems operating below this pressure, a compatible shower pump may be necessary.

What is the warranty period for this shower mixer?

The GROHE Eurosmart shower mixer comes with a 5-year guarantee.

Does this mixer come with a shower head and hose?

This product is for the shower mixer itself. A separate shower head and hose are typically required and sold independently.

How often should I clean the mixer?

For best results and to maintain the chrome finish, it is recommended to clean the mixer regularly, ideally after each use or at least daily, using a soft, damp cloth.

What does 'exposed' mean in the product title?

'Exposed' refers to the mixer being mounted externally on the wall, with all plumbing connections visible and accessible, as opposed to 'concealed' mixers where the internal components are hidden within the wall.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow

Check that the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. Ensure there are no blockages in the shower head or hose. Verify water pressure meets the minimum requirement (1.0 bar).

Difficulty controlling temperature or flow

The Grohe SilkMove cartridge might require cleaning or replacement if movement is stiff. Check if the flow rate or temperature limiters have been inadvertently set too restrictively.

Leaking from the spout or handle

Inspect the seals and cartridge for wear or damage. Tighten any loose connections. If the leak persists, the ceramic cartridge may need replacing.

Water backflow into the system

Ensure the integrated non-return valve is functioning correctly. If backflow is suspected, consult a qualified plumber to inspect and potentially replace the valve.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise water temperature and flow control with SilkMove cartridge.
  • Enhanced safety features like temperature and flow limiters.
  • Durable construction with metal components and chrome finish.
  • Water-saving capabilities through adjustable flow rate.
  • Easy to clean and maintain with a smooth chrome surface.

Cons

  • Requires wall-mounting, which may involve professional installation.
  • Specific connection via S-unions and bottom outlet means compatibility with existing plumbing should be checked.
  • Flow rate limiter might reduce pressure for users preferring very high flow.
  • Single function diverter limits control to one shower outlet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a wall-mounted shower mixer that connects via S-unions to your existing hot and cold water supply. Ensure the wall cavity is prepared for mounting. The installation process typically involves connecting the S-unions to the water inlets, attaching the mixer body, and securing the escutcheons.

Compatibility:

  • Water Supply: Compatible with standard UK hot and cold water systems. Requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar for optimal performance. Always check your home's water pressure.
  • Outlet: Features a 1/2" bottom outlet for connecting your shower hose. Ensure your shower hose connection matches this size.
  • Plumbing: Designed to connect via S-unions, which allow for some adjustment in spacing between the hot and cold water pipes.

Care:

  • Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome plating.
  • For stubborn water spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
  • Periodically check connections for leaks.
