Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the drip persists, the valve may need servicing or replacement. Turn off the water supply before attempting any maintenance.

Low water flow

Check that the water supply is fully on. Inspect the aerator on the bath spout and the shower handset for blockages from limescale or debris. Clean any filters or aerators as needed.

Inconsistent temperature

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and that both supplies are functioning correctly. The ceramic disc valves might require adjustment or servicing if the issue continues.

Shower handset not working properly

Check that the hose is securely attached at both ends and that the diverter mechanism (if applicable) is functioning. Inspect the handset for any blockages.
