It is crafted from high-quality materials designed for durability and resistance to corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling in the shower tray after use.

Check for blockages in the shower trap or connected waste pipe. Ensure the trap is installed correctly and the water seal can drain freely.

Foul odors emanating from the drain.

Verify the resealing mechanism is functioning and the water seal is intact. Ensure the Multifit outlet connections are secure and not allowing gas to escape. Rinse the trap with water.

Slow drainage.

Clean any hair or debris from the trap and shower drain. Check the waste pipe for obstructions. Ensure the trap is not partially blocked internally.

Difficulty connecting the Multifit outlet.

Ensure you are using the correct size pipe (32mm or 40mm) and that the pipe end is clean and free of burrs. Refer to the installation guide for specific fitting instructions.
