Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent

Ensure the GROHE TurboStat cartridge is functioning correctly. Check if the minimum water pressure of 1.0 Bar is being met. If issues persist, contact a professional plumber.

Weak water flow from shower heads

Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1.0 Bar. Check the shower heads for limescale buildup and clean them using the Speedclean system. Ensure the Aquadimmer is fully open and set to the desired function.

Hand shower hose is leaking

Check the seals at both ends of the Silverflex hose. Tighten the connections securely. If the hose is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Shower system makes noise

Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive or unusual, check for water pressure fluctuations or potential blockages within the system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The adjustable rail allows for mounting flexibility, accommodating various heights. Ensure all connections are watertight before use.

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: Requires a minimum of 1.0 Bar water pressure. Systems with lower pressure may experience reduced performance.
  • Plumbing: Designed for standard UK/EU plumbing connections. Existing pipework should be compatible with exposed bar valve installations.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the GROHE StarLight finish.
  • Limescale Removal: To clean the Speedclean nozzles, simply wipe them with your hand or a soft cloth. For stubborn limescale, a mild vinegar solution can be used sparingly.
  • Hose Maintenance: Periodically check the Silverflex hose for any signs of wear and tear. Ensure the connections at both ends are secure.
