FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower mixer?

The Ideal Standard Ceratherm Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to their terms and conditions.

How do I activate the water-saving Eco mode?

The Eco button is typically located on the flow control handle. Press it to reduce water flow by up to 50%. To restore full flow, press the button again or turn the handle further.

Can I set the maximum temperature to a specific level?

Yes, the temperature limit stop can be set to 40°C, 43°C, 45°C, or 50°C. Refer to the installation manual for precise instructions on setting this feature.

What does WRAS-approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been tested and meets the high standards set by UK water regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and prevents waste, misuse, or contamination.

Is the Idealflex hose difficult to clean?

No, the Idealflex hose is designed to be smooth, durable, and easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. Its smooth texture prevents the buildup of soap scum and limescale.

What is the main advantage of the Precitherm® cartridge?

The Precitherm® ceramic disc cartridge provides exceptional durability and safety. It is made from limescale-resistant polymer and ensures consistent temperature control for a long, reliable service life.

Does this shower mixer come with a built-in shower head?

This product comes as a mixer valve pack which includes an 80mm Idealrain S3 three-function handspray, a 600mm rail, and a 1.25m Idealflex hose. It does not include a separate shower head unit beyond the included handspray.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is inconsistent

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are balanced. Ensure the Precitherm® cartridge is not blocked by debris; clean the filter if necessary. Verify that the temperature limit stop is set correctly.

Low water flow from the handset

Inspect the handset and hose for blockages or kinks. Clean the fine strainer mesh on the cartridge inlet. Ensure the Eco button is not engaged, or manually override it for full flow.

Cool Body technology not effective (valve feels hot)

Ensure the valve is correctly installed with adequate cold water circulation around the hot water inlet. Check for any obstructions in the cold water supply line.

Temperature limit stop is not holding

Ensure the stop mechanism is properly engaged and secured according to the manufacturer's instructions. If persistent, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
