Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow from shower heads.

Check that the water supply is on and that the system pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar. Ensure the diverter is correctly set to the desired outlet. Inspect the shower hose and inlets for any kinks or blockages.

Water temperature fluctuates unexpectedly.

Ensure the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, there may be a problem with your home's hot water supply or the shower valve's internal components. Contact customer support.

Bar valve controls are stiff or difficult to move.

The internal cartridges may require cleaning or replacement. Ensure no debris is obstructing the controls. For persistent stiffness, consult the manual or a professional plumber.

Overhead drencher or handset is dripping after use.

This can sometimes be normal as residual water drains. If dripping is excessive, check that the diverter is fully in position and that there are no internal leaks within the valve. Ensure the system is not under pressure when turned off.

  • Ensure the bar valve controls move freely; periodic light lubrication might be needed if stiff.
