Troubleshooting

Low water flow from the handspray

Check if the flow regulator is still in place. Ensure the handspray nozzles are clean of limescale. Verify that there are no kinks in the shower hose and that the shower valve is fully open.

Water leaking from connections

Ensure all threaded connections (between hose and handspray, hose and valve) are securely tightened. Check that any rubber washers or seals are present and correctly seated.

Handspray drips after the shower is turned off

This can be normal due to residual water. If dripping is excessive or continuous, check for any debris in the handspray mechanism or ensure the shower valve is fully closed.

Slide rail is loose or difficult to adjust

Ensure the rail fixings are securely attached to the wall. If the height adjustment mechanism is stiff, check for any obstructions. Some models may have a tension adjustment screw.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Water-efficient thanks to the 8L/min flow regulator.
  • Easy to clean and maintain due to limescale-resistant nozzles.
  • Suitable for a wide range of water pressures (high and low).
  • Durable and stylish chrome finish.
  • Includes convenient features like an integrated soap dish.

Cons

  • Single spray function may be limiting for users preferring multiple patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation typically involves connecting the shower hose to the handspray and the shower valve. The slide rail can be mounted on the wall using the provided fixings. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation manual for specific steps.

Compatibility:

This shower kit is designed to work with most standard UK shower systems, including those with high pressure (e.g., combi boilers, unvented systems) and low pressure (e.g., gravity-fed systems). It is WRAS-approved, indicating compliance with UK water regulations.

Care:

To maintain the shower kit's appearance and function:

  1. Cleaning the Handspray: Gently rub the nozzles with a soft cloth or your finger to remove limescale. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the finish or nozzles.
  2. Cleaning the Hose and Rail: Wipe the hose and slide rail with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
  3. Hose Maintenance: Periodically check the hose for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure it is not twisted, which can reduce water flow and lifespan.
