Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water from the valve

Check that the isolation valves on the hot and cold water supply lines are fully open. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar.

Temperature fluctuations during use

Verify that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the valve or showerhead that might be affecting flow. Ensure the water pressure is stable.

Low water flow

Clean any debris from the filters within the valve connections. Check the showerhead and hose for blockages. Ensure the system pressure is within the recommended range.

Difficulty adjusting temperature or flow

Ensure the dual control handles move freely. If stiff, check for any obstructions or debris. Internal valve components may require professional inspection if the issue persists.
