FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

The Hudson Reed Tec Pura Triple Thermostatic Shower Valve comes with a 3-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Can this valve be used with a combination boiler?

Yes, this valve is suitable for use with all systems, including combi-boilers.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The minimum required water pressure for optimal performance is 0.1 bar.

How do I switch between the two shower outlets?

The integrated diverter mechanism allows you to effortlessly switch between outlets or run them simultaneously using the triple control functionality.

What happens if the hot or cold water supply fails?

The valve is designed with advanced thermal safety protection. In the event of a hot or cold water supply failure, it will instantly halt the water flow, preventing scalding.

Is the cartridge resistant to limescale?

Yes, the patented cartridge is highly resistant to calcium buildup, making it suitable for use even in hard water areas.

Can this valve be installed horizontally as well as vertically?

Yes, the valve can be fitted vertically or horizontally, offering flexibility in installation.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the minimum pressure requirement of 0.1 bar is met. Verify that no debris is blocking the filters or cartridges.

Water temperature is inconsistent

Confirm that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Check for any fluctuations in the main hot or cold water supply. Ensure household appliances that use significant water (like washing machines) are not running simultaneously.

Diverter not switching between outlets

Inspect the diverter mechanism for any blockages or damage. Ensure all connections to the outlets are secure and correctly fitted.

Valve drips when not in use

The seals within the cartridge may be worn or the cartridge itself may need cleaning or replacing. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for cartridge maintenance.

Matt black finish is discolored or damaged

Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a pH-neutral soap and rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers significant showering versatility with dual outlet control.
  • Ensures precise and stable water temperatures for enhanced comfort and safety.
  • Features a durable build with a calcium-resistant cartridge for longevity.
  • Sleek concealed design complements modern bathrooms.
  • Suitable for a wide range of water systems, including low-pressure setups.
  • Easy installation and maintenance due to the reversible cartridge.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum water pressure of 0.1 bar to function correctly.
  • Triple control functionality may be more complex than standard single-outlet valves.
  • Concealed installation requires specific wall cavity depth and plumbing considerations.
  • Matt black finish may require specific cleaning methods to maintain appearance.
  • Dual outlet usage simultaneously might lead to reduced flow rate at each outlet depending on system pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Rough-in: The valve requires a concealed wall cavity for installation. Ensure adequate space for the valve body and pipe connections.
  2. Plumbing Connections: Connect hot and cold water supplies to the appropriate inlets and the diverter outlet to the desired shower heads (e.g., overhead shower and handset).
  3. Cartridge Installation: If the hot and cold supplies are reversed, remove the cartridge, rotate it 180°, and reinsert it before completing the installation.

Compatibility:

  • Water Systems: Suitable for gravity fed, pumped, unvented, high pressure, and combi-boiler systems.
  • Minimum Pressure: Operates effectively with a minimum water pressure of 0.1 bar.

Care:

  • Clean the matt black finish using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Periodically check and clean the valve outlets to prevent limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas. A mild limescale remover can be used if necessary, following product instructions carefully.
