How should I clean the matt black finish?

Does this shower valve come with all necessary parts for installation?

The pack includes the thermostatic valve, rigid riser, slim round drencher head, round shower handset, and hose. Standard plumbing fittings may be required separately depending on your existing setup.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow from shower outlets.

Check that the water system meets the minimum 1 bar pressure requirement. Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and valves are fully open. Inspect for any blockages in the system or filters.

Temperature is too hot or too cold.

Verify the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure the hot water supply is adequate. If the issue persists, consult a qualified plumber.

Diverter is stiff or not switching outlets properly.

Gently operate the diverter. If it remains stiff, check for any debris. If the problem persists, the internal mechanism may require professional inspection or replacement.

Matt black finish shows water spots or streaks.

Clean the surfaces immediately after use with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, and dry thoroughly to prevent spotting.
