Product Information
Full details
This elegant shower system is designed for homeowners seeking a traditional aesthetic with modern thermostatic control for a safe and enjoyable showering experience. Its key benefit is the combination of a luxurious rain shower head and easy-to-use dual controls, offering a spa-like feel. A key caveat is its minimum operating pressure requirement of 0.5 bar, meaning it may not perform optimally in low-pressure water systems without a booster pump. This shower features a polished chrome finish with white detailing, thermostatic temperature control for consistent heat, a metal rain can shower head, and an adjustable rigid riser for customized height.

Troubleshooting
Low water pressure or flow
Check if the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is met. If not, consider installing a booster pump. Ensure there are no kinks in the hose and that the shower head is not blocked by limescale. Check that the pipe centres are correctly installed within the 138-158mm range.
Thermostatic control not maintaining temperature
Ensure the temperature control is set correctly and that the hot and cold water supplies are adequate. If issues persist, the thermostatic cartridge may require servicing or replacement.
Leaking from connections
Verify that all connections are securely tightened. Check the integrity of any seals or washers. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
Shower head dribbling after shut-off
This can sometimes occur due to residual water in the pipework. Ensure the shower is fully turned off. If it persists, check for any blockages or valve issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This shower is designed for wall mounting and requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar and a maximum of 5.0 bar. Ensure your home's water pressure falls within this range. The inlet connection size is 15mm, and the outlet connection size is 1/2 BSP. Pipe centres for installation must be between 138mm and 158mm. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure correct connections and optimal performance.
Compatibility: The shower is compatible with most standard UK water systems that meet the specified pressure requirements. It is important to note that this product is *not* WRAS approved, which may be a consideration depending on local regulations or specific building requirements.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish and white detailing, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For the shower head, periodic cleaning of any limescale build-up may be necessary; a mild vinegar solution can often be used for this purpose, followed by a rinse with clean water.
