FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower set?

The Balterley Traditional Twin Exposed Valve & Rigid Riser Shower Set comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I use this set with a combi boiler?

This set is generally compatible with combi boilers, but it's recommended to check the minimum water pressure requirements of the shower set against the output of your specific combi boiler for optimal performance.

What is the difference between the crosshead and lever handles?

The crosshead handle is typically used to control the water temperature, while the lever handle controls the water flow (how much water comes out).

Is this shower set suitable for a power shower system?

While the set includes thermostatic control for safety, its performance will depend on the water pressure provided by your system. It is best suited for systems with adequate and consistent pressure. Consult a professional if you have a specific power shower setup.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.

Can the rigid riser be cut to a different height?

While some rigid risers can be adjusted or cut, it's essential to refer to the specific installation manual for this set. Modifications may affect the warranty or performance.

Are other finishes or handle types available?

This specific model is in Chrome with White details. Matching traditional brassware is available from Balterley, potentially in similar finishes, to create a consistent bathroom design.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water pressure

Check that the water supply is turned on and that there are no kinks in the hoses. Ensure the thermostatic valve and handles are fully open. Verify that the water system pressure meets the minimum requirements for the shower set.

Water temperature is inconsistent or too hot/cold

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check the temperature limit stop if adjustable. Allow the thermostat time to regulate after initial adjustment. If problems persist, consult a plumber.

Leaking from the valve or connections

Inspect all connections for tightness. Check that seals and washers are correctly seated and undamaged. If the leak persists from the valve body itself, professional servicing or replacement may be required.

Shower head dribbling after use

This can sometimes occur due to residual water. Ensure the shower head is angled downwards to allow for complete drainage. Check for any blockages in the shower head nozzles.
