FAQs

What is included in the kit?

The kit typically includes the slide rail, a multi-function handset, a shower hose, and all necessary fixings for installation.

Can I use this with a mixer shower or a power shower?

Yes, this kit is generally compatible with most standard mixer showers and power shower systems, provided the water pressure is adequate.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots like limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner designed for chrome, and rinse thoroughly.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer's information for the specific warranty period applicable to this product.

Is this suitable for a wet room installation?

While designed for standard shower enclosures, its adjustable nature can make it adaptable to some wet room setups. Ensure proper drainage and wall mounting.

Can the shower hose be replaced if it gets damaged?

Yes, standard shower hoses are widely available and can be replaced if damaged. Ensure you purchase a hose with compatible fittings.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure from the handset

Check that the water supply is fully on. Ensure the shower hose is not kinked. Clean any debris from the showerhead nozzles and the hose connection point.

Slide rail not holding position

Ensure the clamp mechanism on the handset holder is tightened correctly. If the rail itself feels loose, verify that the wall fixings are secure.

Water leaks from connections

Ensure all hose connections are tightly secured. Check that any rubber washers or seals are present and in good condition. If leaks persist, consider replacing the hose or checking the valve outlet.

Difficulty adjusting height

Ensure the handset holder is not overtightened on the rail. Check for any obstructions or limescale buildup around the adjustment mechanism.
