Troubleshooting
No water or low flow from the shower.
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the minimum pressure of 0.5 Bar is met. Ensure no blockages exist in the connected shower head or pipework. Verify that the valve controls are fully open.
Water temperature is not consistent or fluctuating.
Confirm that the thermostatic controls are functioning correctly. Check if the hot and cold water supplies are balanced. Ensure the maximum pressure of 1.0 Bar is not exceeded, and that the valve is not faulty. Contact a professional if issues persist.
Leaking from the valve or connections.
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If the leak is from the valve itself, it may require servicing or replacement of internal parts. Consult the 15-year guarantee for potential support.
