Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is designed for ease of installation with multiple pipe and cable entry options, which simplifies replacement of older units. Ensure that your home circuit can accommodate the 8.7kW draw, which may require a dedicated 40A or 45A supply. Routine care involves wiping the unit with a soft, damp cloth and avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that might damage the finish or the tactile markings. Periodically check the shower head for limescale buildup, particularly in hard water areas, to ensure the consistent flow required for the Tri-Therma system to operate effectively.
