Troubleshooting
Low water flow from shower head or handset
Check that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Ensure the shower valve is fully open and that there are no kinks in the flexible hose. Clean any potential blockages in the shower head or handset nozzles.
Diverter not switching between modes properly
Ensure the shower valve is correctly installed and fully functional. There might be an internal issue with the diverter mechanism; consult the installation manual or contact customer support.
Visible corrosion or tarnishing on the finish
This is uncommon with proper care. Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If the issue persists, it may indicate a material defect, and you should contact the manufacturer regarding the 20-year guarantee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shower kit is designed for installation with exposed shower valves. Ensure your plumbing system can support the minimum required water pressure of 0.5 Bar. Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure all connections are secure and the diverter functions correctly.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with exposed shower valves. The overall aesthetic suits traditional or period-style bathrooms. The chrome and black finish offers versatility in matching other bathroom fixtures.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the shower kit regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
