Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow from outlets

Check that the main water supply is on. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum 0.5 bar requirement. Verify that no isolation valves are closed. Check for any blockages in the pipework or filters.

Temperature fluctuates significantly

Ensure the water pressure is stable and within the recommended range (0.5-5 bar). Clean any filters within the valve or connected shower components. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

One outlet works, the other does not

Verify that the diverter mechanism for switching between outlets is functioning correctly. Check for blockages in the pipework leading to the non-functional outlet. Ensure both outlets are properly connected to the valve.

Valve is difficult to operate

Ensure the valve is correctly installed and that no debris has entered the mechanism. If the handles are stiff, it might require lubrication or a cartridge inspection, best performed by a professional.
