Can I replace the shower head or handset later?

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow

Check that the water supply is on and the minimum pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar is met. Ensure no kinks are present in the hoses. Check for blockages in the shower head or handset filters.

Water temperature is inconsistent

Verify that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure the anti-scalding device (38°C limit) is not set too low for your desired temperature. If problems persist, contact customer support.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all compression fittings and connections are tightened correctly. Check that any washers or seals are properly seated. If leaks persist, especially from wall connections, contact a qualified plumber.

Difficulty adjusting temperature or flow

The ceramic disc valves may require cleaning or replacement if stiff. Ensure the control handles are not obstructed. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
