Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This is a concealed thermostatic mixer valve system, which typically requires professional plumbing installation. The valve unit is mounted behind the wall, with only the control plate and dials visible. Ensure that the wall cavity is adequate for the valve body and associated pipework. Connections will need to be made to both hot and cold water supplies, and to the outlets for the shower head and handset. The 300mm shower head and handset will also need to be connected via standard shower arms and hoses.
Compatibility:
The system operates within a range of 20-50°C and is designed for standard UK water supply pressures. It is WRAS approved, indicating compliance with UK water regulations. Ensure your home's hot and cold water systems can supply the required flow rates for optimal performance.
Care:
- Cleaning the Chrome Finish: Wipe the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. A mild soap solution can be used if necessary, followed by rinsing and drying.
- Cleaning Filters: The built-in filters protect the thermostatic mechanism. Periodically check and clean these filters according to manufacturer recommendations (if accessible without major disassembly) to maintain optimal performance and prevent blockages.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that the control dials operate smoothly. If any stiffness is noted, consult a professional.
- Winterizing: If the shower is in an area prone to freezing, ensure the system is protected to prevent damage.
