The nozzles are designed as 'rub-clean'. Simply rub them gently with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any limescale deposits.
What is the water flow rate?
The handset includes a removable 8 litre per minute eco flow regulator as standard.
Can I use this with a mixer shower?

What is the manufacturer's guarantee?

How many spray functions does it have?

Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Check if the eco flow regulator is installed and if it's clean. Ensure the shower hose is not kinked. Clean the rub-clean nozzles by gently rubbing them. If using a low-pressure system, ensure adequate water supply.
Water leaking from connection point
Ensure the shower hose is securely tightened to the handset. Check the thread on both components for damage. If necessary, reapply PTFE tape to the male thread of the hose connection.
Inconsistent spray pattern
Gently rub the rub-clean nozzles to remove any potential blockages from limescale or debris. Ensure the handset is not installed upside down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This shower handset is designed to connect to a standard shower hose. Ensure you have a compatible shower hose and a wall outlet or shower arm with a standard 1/2 inch connection thread. Screw the handset onto the hose firmly but avoid over-tightening. A small amount of PTFE tape may be used on the threads for a secure seal if needed.
Compatibility: The B9400AA is compatible with standard shower hoses and compatible with both low pressure (e.g., gravity-fed systems) and high pressure (e.g., combi-boilers, pumped systems) water supplies. It is important to check that your existing shower valve and hose are in good working order.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish and functionality, clean the handset regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions can be used if necessary. To clean the nozzles, gently rub them with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any mineral deposits. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome plating.
