Product Information
Full details
The Redring RMHW3 is an over-basin, instantaneous electric hand wash unit designed for utility rooms, sheds, or commercial spaces where efficient hand washing is essential. Its key benefit is providing instant hot water at the point of use, saving energy by eliminating standing heat losses and offering flexible temperature control via a rotary dial. A potential caveat is its 3kW rating, which is suitable for hand washing but not for high-demand applications like showering. This compact unit features push-button operation, an A energy rating, IPX4 protection, and a 240mm swivel arm for ease of use.

Troubleshooting
No hot water is produced.
Check that the unit is correctly connected to both the mains cold water supply and the electrical supply. Ensure the push-button has been pressed and the rotary control is set to a warmer temperature. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Water flow is weak.
Ensure the mains water supply pressure is within the operating range (1-10 bar). Check the spray head for any blockages or limescale buildup and clean if necessary. Ensure the rotary flow control is set to allow sufficient water flow.
Unit is not heating water sufficiently.
Confirm the rotary temperature control is set to a higher temperature. Ensure the 3kW element is functioning correctly; if not, professional inspection is required. Check for any partial blockages in the water path.
Overheating protection has activated.
The unit may have overheated due to a blockage or excessive flow setting. Allow the unit to cool down. Check for blockages in the spray head or inlet and clear them before re-testing.
