How do I choose between the 7L/min and 5L/min flow regulators?

Troubleshooting

No water flow from shower head

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the flow regulator is not blocked or missing. Verify that the isolation valves (if fitted) are open.

Water temperature is too hot or too cold

Check the thermostatic cartridge setting. Ensure it has not been tampered with. If water is consistently too cold, the pre-set stop might need adjustment by a qualified plumber. If too hot, ensure the cold water supply is adequate.

Inconsistent water temperature (fluctuations)

Ensure both hot and cold water supplies are functioning correctly and at adequate pressure. Check for blockages in the filters or the thermostatic cartridge. A faulty cartridge may need replacement.

Leaking from valve body or connections

Tighten connections gently. Ensure all seals and washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If leaking persists from the valve body, it may require servicing or replacement.

Low water pressure

Ensure the correct flow regulator (7L/min or 5L/min) is installed. Check for any blockages in the shower head, riser, or inlet filters. Verify that house water pressure is adequate.

  • Water Systems: Suitable for most domestic water systems. TMV2 thermostatic control ensures higher performance and protection.

Care:
