Troubleshooting
No water or low water pressure
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the shattaf hose and valve connections are not kinked or obstructed. Verify that the main water supply to the property is functioning correctly.
Water temperature is too hot or too cold, or fluctuates
Confirm that both hot and cold water supplies are connected correctly to the thermostatic valve. Check that the hot water system is functioning properly and providing sufficient heat. Ensure the valve is not faulty; if suspected, contact customer support.
Leaking from connections
Ensure all threaded connections are securely tightened. Check that any rubber washers or seals are present and correctly seated. If leaks persist, apply PTFE tape to threads before re-tightening.
Finish is dull or discolored
Clean the unit using only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the unit is dried thoroughly after cleaning. Persistent discoloration may indicate issues with water quality or installation chemicals.
