FAQs

What is the purpose of the anti-calc cartridge?

The anti-calc cartridge is designed to prevent limescale and debris from building up inside the valve. This helps to maintain optimal performance and significantly prolong the lifespan of the shower valve.

Can this shower valve be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, this valve is suitable for use with combi-boilers, provided your system meets the minimum pressure requirements of 0.2 bar.

How do I switch between the shower head and bath spout?

The top dial acts as a diverter, allowing you to control water flow to one outlet. Turn the dial to switch between connected fixtures like a fixed shower head or a slide rail kit.

What is the warranty period for this shower valve?

This shower valve comes with a 10-year warranty, offering peace of mind for your purchase.

Can I install this valve horizontally or vertically?

Yes, the fascia is interchangeable, allowing you to mount the valve either horizontally or vertically to suit your bathroom layout and installation preference.

What is the recommended water pressure?

The recommended water pressure is 1.0 bar, with an operating range of 0.2 bar to 6 bar.

Is this valve WRAS approved?

Yes, the shower valve is WRAS Approved, ensuring it meets the highest quality and safety standards required in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature not consistent

Ensure the water system meets the minimum pressure requirement (0.2 bar). Check for any blockages in the pipework or shower head. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly.

Low water flow

Verify that the water pressure is adequate. Check and clean the inlet filters for debris. Ensure the diverter is fully engaging the selected outlet.

Valve difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions around the handles. Ensure the internal mechanism is free from debris. The anti-calc cartridge helps prevent this, but regular cleaning of external surfaces is advised.

Safety stop (38°C) is too low

The 38°C button is a safety feature. If a higher temperature is regularly required, consult a plumber to check the valve's calibration and your system's capabilities. Note that the operating range is 20-50°C.
