FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower?

The Bristan DUL2 SHXARFF C requires a minimum working pressure of 0.2 bar for optimal performance.

How do I clean the anti-limescale handset?

Gently rub the flexible nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. This action helps to break up limescale deposits and maintain an even spray pattern.

Can I adjust the maximum temperature limit?

Yes, the factory set maximum hot water temperature is 38°C. This can be overridden to a maximum of 46°C if needed.

Is this shower suitable for combi boilers?

Yes, it is suitable for all plumbing systems, including combination boilers, provided the system can maintain the required working pressure (0.2 - 5 bar).

What is the warranty period for this product?

This Bristan product comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Does it come with a shower hose and head?

Yes, the product includes a complete slide rail kit, which comprises a shower hose, a rub-clean anti-limescale handset, and a hose retainer.

How do I prevent the water from getting too hot for children?

The thermostatic valve is factory set to a maximum safe temperature of 38°C, which helps prevent scalding. You can further ensure safety by not overriding this limit unless necessary.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow from the showerhead.

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the inlet connections are not blocked. Clean the filters within the valve inlets. Verify that the operating pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.2 bar).

Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuating.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for blockages in the hot or cold water inlets. If the issue persists, the internal components may need servicing or replacement.

Shower is too hot or too cold, even when adjusted.

Verify the factory-set maximum hot water temperature (38°C) and the override limit (46°C). Check for correct installation of hot and cold supply lines. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is not faulty.

Leaking from the valve or hose connections.

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that any seals or washers are present and in good condition. Replace any worn or damaged parts.

Handset is blocked with limescale.

Rub the flexible nozzles firmly to break up limescale deposits. For stubborn buildup, soak the handset in a mild vinegar solution (ensure no abrasive parts are immersed).
