FAQs

What type of water systems is this shower kit compatible with?

This kit is designed for high-pressure systems, including unvented mains pressure systems and systems with shower pumps. It is not suitable for low-pressure or gravity-fed systems.

How does the thermostatic control prevent scalding?

The thermostatic valve monitors and rapidly adjusts the hot and cold water mix to maintain a set temperature. If cold water pressure drops suddenly, it automatically reduces the hot water flow to prevent dangerously hot temperatures.

Can I replace just the shower head or handset if needed?

While the kit is sold as a set, the shower head and handset are typically standard fittings and may be replaceable individually. However, ensure any replacement is compatible with the existing bar and hoses.

How often should I clean the shower head?

It is recommended to clean the shower head regularly, ideally every few months, or more often in areas with hard water, to prevent limescale buildup and maintain optimal water flow.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer's product page for specific warranty details, as these can vary.

Is this shower kit suitable for a power shower?

Yes, this shower kit is suitable for use with shower pumps, which are often associated with power shower systems, provided the system delivers high pressure.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuates

Ensure your water system pressure is within the recommended range for this shower (high pressure). Check for any blockages in the shower head or internal filters. Verify that the thermostatic valve is not obstructed.

Low water flow from shower head or handset

Clean the shower head nozzles and handset holes to remove any limescale or debris. Check the flow restrictor if one has been installed and consider its removal if appropriate for your system pressure. Ensure your water system is providing adequate pressure.

Leaking from the bar or connections

Turn off the water supply immediately. Check that all connections are tightened correctly. Ensure rubber washers or seals are present and in good condition. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Thermostatic control is not working or stuck

Ensure the valve is not set to its extreme hot or cold limit. If the issue persists, the internal cartridge may need servicing or replacement by a professional. Do not attempt to dismantle the thermostatic valve yourself.
