Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates significantly.

Ensure both hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced. Check if the thermostatic cartridge needs cleaning or replacement. Verify that the valve is installed correctly with hot on the left and cold on the right.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Check the shower hose and shower head for blockages or limescale buildup. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the valve inlets for any debris.

Leaking from the valve body or handles.

Check all connections for tightness. If leaking persists, the internal seals or cartridges may be worn and require replacement. Ensure the valve is not over-tightened during installation.

Brushed nickel finish is discolored or damaged.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. If damage has occurred, professional refinishing may be required.
