Troubleshooting

Low water pressure from the showerhead

Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Check the showerhead for any blockages or limescale buildup and clean as per care instructions. Verify that the shower hose is not kinked.

Tap is leaking from the base

This usually indicates an issue with the installation seal. Contact a qualified plumber to check and reseal the tap mounting.

Water flow is uneven or sputtering

Check for air in the system by running the tap at full pressure. Ensure the water supply filters are clean and free of debris.

Difficulty in switching between bath and shower functions

The diverter mechanism may be stiff. Try operating it firmly a few times. If the issue persists, a plumber may need to inspect the internal mechanism.
