How do I adjust the water temperature?

Consult the manufacturer's instructions for adjusting the temperature setting on your specific TMV model.

How often should I clean the strainer?

The strainer should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every 6-12 months) or if you notice a drop in water flow.

What should I do if the TMV is leaking?

Turn off the water supply and contact a qualified plumber to inspect and repair or replace the valve.
