How do I clean the Copper Brush finish?
For the Copper Brush finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
What does the Anti-Calc system do?
The Anti-Calc nozzle system is designed to prevent limescale buildup, ensuring a consistent water flow and making the shower easier to maintain.
Can I use this with a low-pressure water system?
While compatible with most systems, performance on very low-pressure systems may be reduced. It is best suited for systems with adequate pressure to power all functions.
Troubleshooting
No water or low water pressure
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the correct valves are open. Ensure no kinks are present in the shower hose. Verify that the main control valve is fully open. If issues persist, check for blockages within the shower head or handset.
Inconsistent water temperature
Confirm the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure the water system is providing adequate hot and cold water supply. For combi boilers, check their operating temperature settings. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
Difficulty switching between functions
Ensure the 3-way control valve is operated smoothly. If it feels stiff, it may require adjustment or maintenance. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the valve mechanism.
Leaking from connections
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that rubber washers or seals are present and in good condition. For concealed parts, any leaks will require professional attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shower set requires a concealed installation mixer, meaning the main valve and plumbing will be installed within the wall cavity. Professional plumbing is recommended for correct installation. Ensure your water system can support the flow rates required by a multi-function shower system. The height of the rail is 1170 mm, which should be considered during installation planning.
Compatibility: The system is designed to work with standard UK/EU plumbing connections. It is compatible with most common water heating systems, including combi boilers and gravity-fed systems, though performance may vary.
Care: To maintain the Copper Brush finish, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. Regularly check and clean the Anti-Calc nozzles by gently rubbing them to remove any mineral deposits. Ensure the 1500 mm hose is not kinked to maintain water flow.
