Thermostatic temperature control means the shower valve has an internal mechanism that automatically mixes hot and cold water to maintain your chosen temperature. It reacts to changes in water pressure to prevent sudden shifts in heat.
Cool touch technology involves a barrier or air gap within the shower valve's casing. This prevents the outer surface from becoming excessively hot, even when hot water is flowing through the internal components, thereby reducing the risk of burns.
Thermostatic mixer showers generally perform best with balanced and adequate water pressure. While it may function on lower pressure systems, performance, especially temperature stability, might be compromised. It's recommended to check your system's pressure.
This shower is designed to align with existing drill holes for easier installation, suggesting it can replace similar wall-mounted valves. However, you should measure your existing setup and compare it to the product's dimensions and connection points.
The gold finish should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals which can scratch or dull the finish.
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Yes, this is a complete mixer shower system that includes the valve, an overhead shower, and a 1.5M hose, ready for installation.
Ensure both hot and cold water supplies have adequate and balanced pressure. Check for any blockages in the filters or pipes. Verify that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly.
Clean the shower head nozzles to remove any limescale buildup. Check the shower hose for kinks or blockages. Inspect the filters within the valve for debris.
Check all connections for tightness and ensure appropriate seals or washers are used. If the leak persists, the internal components of the valve may need servicing or replacement.
Ensure the shower is correctly installed and the cool touch channels are not obstructed. This feature relies on the design of the valve body and water flow; if performance is severely compromised, consult a professional.
Setup:
Installation involves connecting the shower valve to your hot and cold water supplies. It is recommended to align the valve with existing drill holes where possible to simplify the mounting process. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight according to standard plumbing practices.
Compatibility:
This thermostatic mixer shower requires balanced hot and cold water pressure for optimal performance. It is compatible with most combi-boiler systems, unvented water heaters, and pumped electric shower systems. Check your home's plumbing system specifications to ensure compatibility.
Care:
To maintain the gold finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For limescale removal, use a mild, diluted vinegar solution and wipe clean. The shower head and hose can be cleaned similarly.
