FAQs

What is thermostatic control and why is it important?

Thermostatic control means the shower valve has a mechanism that automatically maintains a set water temperature. This is important for safety and comfort, as it prevents sudden, unexpected changes in water temperature due to other appliances using water in your home.

What does 'cool touch technology' mean?

Cool touch technology prevents the external surface of the shower valve from becoming hot. This is achieved by creating a barrier between the hot water and the outer casing, significantly reducing the risk of burns, especially for children and the elderly.

Is this shower suitable for low water pressure systems?

The shower is suitable for all water systems and performs from a minimum of 0.5 bar pressure. Performance, particularly flow rates, will increase with higher water pressure.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with another soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

Can I adjust the height of the main shower head?

The main shower head is fixed to the top of the riser rail. However, the separate handset can be moved up and down the riser rail to your desired height.

What is the pipe centre size for installation?

The required pipe centre size for this shower valve is 150mm.

What warranty does this shower come with?

This shower is supplied with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates significantly.

Ensure the thermostatic valve has been installed correctly and is not affected by other high-demand water usage. Check if the filters within the valve are clean and free from debris. If the problem persists, contact a professional installer.

Low water flow from the main head or handset.

Verify that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar). Check for any blockages in the shower head, handset, or the inlet filters. Ensure all valves are fully open.

Cool touch technology not working; valve surface is hot.

This indicates a potential issue with the cool touch mechanism or the thermostatic control. Discontinue use and contact a qualified professional for inspection and repair.

Leaking from the valve or connections.

Carefully inspect all connections for tightness. Check any seals or washers for wear or damage. If leaks persist, professional repair or replacement of parts may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This shower is designed for use with all water systems, simplifying installation choices. The pipe centre size required is 150mm. Ensure your existing plumbing can accommodate this, or consult a professional for adjustments.

Setup: Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct connection and optimal performance of the thermostatic controls. The shower includes a riser rail for the handset, which can be adjusted vertically.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. Clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Regularly check and clean the shower head and handset nozzles to prevent limescale buildup. Periodically inspect the valve for any leaks.
