FAQs
What is included in the Bristan Prism Shower Pack2 Complete Black?
The pack includes a shower valve with an integral two-outlet diverter, a 200mm slimline round drench head with a shower arm, a rub-clean multi-function handset, and a wall outlet.
How do I clean the shower nozzles?
The nozzles are 'rub clean', meaning you can easily remove limescale and debris by gently rubbing them with your finger or a soft cloth.
What is the temperature safety feature?
The shower features a thermostatic cartridge with a pre-set temperature safety stop at 42°C to prevent scalding. A higher temperature can be selected using the override function.
Can I use both the drench head and handset at the same time?
No, the integral two-outlet diverter allows you to switch between either the drench head or the handset, but not use them simultaneously.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The minimum recommended water pressure for optimal performance is 0.5 bar.
Is this shower suitable for unvented systems?
Yes, this shower pack is compatible with most standard UK water systems, including unvented systems.
How easy is it to service this shower?
The thermostatic cartridge can be accessed from the front of the unit, making servicing straightforward.
Troubleshooting
No water or low water pressure
Check that the water supply is on and that there are no blockages in the pipes or filters. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar).
Difficulty switching between shower head and handset
Ensure the diverter is fully engaged. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the diverter mechanism. Refer to the installation guide for correct diverter operation.
Water temperature is too low
The thermostatic cartridge has a preset safety stop at 42°C. To select a higher temperature, engage the override function by turning the temperature control past the safety stop.
Shower drips after use
Ensure the diverter is fully switched to the 'off' position or to a single outlet mode. Check for any internal valve issues or debris that may be preventing a complete seal. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Limescale buildup on nozzles
Gently rub the nozzles with a finger or a soft cloth. For stubborn limescale, apply a mild limescale remover suitable for bathroom fixtures, following product instructions, then wipe clean.
