Troubleshooting
No water or low flow from shower head
Check that the diverter is fully engaged to the shower head setting. Ensure hot and cold water supplies are on and that there are no blockages in the inlet filters or the shower head itself. Verify water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar.
Temperature is too hot or too cold
Adjust the temperature control knob carefully. Ensure the hot water supply is adequate and the cold water supply is not restricted. For persistent issues, the valve may require internal adjustment or servicing.
Diverter not switching between outlets
Ensure the diverter control is being operated firmly and fully. Check for any obstructions within the diverter mechanism. If the issue persists, the diverter cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.
Leaks from the unit
Check all connections for tightness. If leaks appear to be from the valve body or controls, the internal seals or cartridges may need replacing. Ensure installation was performed according to manufacturer guidelines.
