What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product meets the stringent standards of the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme in the UK, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and prevents waste, misuse, or contamination.
Troubleshooting
No hot or cold water, or poor flow.
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the minimum pressure requirement of 1.0 Bar is met. Ensure the dirt filter is clean and not blocked.
Water temperature is not stable.
Verify that the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no other major water draws elsewhere in the property that could affect pressure and temperature.
Water is too hot, even when set to a lower temperature.
Check the 40°C safety stop setting. If it's not engaged or needs adjustment, consult the product manual. Ensure the thermostat cartridge is not faulty.
Leaking from connections.
Ensure all hose connections are secure and that any seals or washers are present and in good condition. Tighten connections gently if necessary.
Excessive water noise.
While designed for quiet operation, some noise can occur at very high pressures. Ensure the pressure is within the recommended range (up to 10 Bar). Check that the silencer component is intact.
