What should I do if the water temperature is too cold?

Ensure the hot water supply is adequate and correctly connected. Check that the minimum water pressure is met. If the issue persists, the thermostatic setting might need adjustment or the cartridge checked.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and balanced. The thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement if issues persist.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Check for blockages in the shower head, hose, or valve inlets. Ensure the system pressure is adequate. Clean any debris from the filters within the valve connections.

Leaking from the valve or connections.

Verify that all connections are tightened securely. Check the condition of any seals or washers. If the leak persists, the valve body itself may have a fault, and professional inspection is recommended.

Valve is difficult to operate.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing smooth movement of the controls. Mineral deposits can sometimes cause stiffness; try cleaning the controls with a mild descaler if necessary.
