FAQs

What is the main benefit of thermostatic technology?

Thermostatic technology ensures a safe and stable showering temperature by automatically adjusting to maintain your set temperature, preventing sudden scalding or cold shocks, especially if other taps in the house are used.

Can I use this shower kit with a low-pressure water system?

While the kit is designed for general compatibility, optimal performance is achieved with adequate water pressure. It's recommended to check the specific minimum pressure requirements in the product manual for your water system.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots or limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive materials.

Does this kit come with all necessary parts for installation?

The kit typically includes the main shower components. However, depending on your existing plumbing, you may need additional fittings or pipes. Always refer to the product manual for a complete list of included parts and any recommended additional items.

What is the warranty period for this shower kit?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for the most current warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

Can I isolate the overhead shower or handset if I only want to use one?

Yes, the dual showering options typically have diverter controls that allow you to select either the overhead shower, the handset, or sometimes both simultaneously, depending on the specific model's functionality.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature fluctuates unexpectedly

Ensure the thermostatic valve has been installed correctly and is not obstructed. Check that the cold water supply has not been interrupted. Refer to the installation manual for resetting the thermostat if applicable.

Low water pressure from shower head or handset

Check for blockages in the shower head nozzles or handset. Ensure the main water supply is fully open. Verify that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements specified in the product manual.

Thermostatic control is stiff or difficult to move

Mineral deposits may be causing stiffness. Refer to the care and maintenance section for instructions on cleaning the valve controls. Ensure no debris is obstructing the handle mechanism.

Water leaks from the unit

Check all pipe connections for tightness and ensure appropriate seals or washers are used. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Balterley Square Thermostatic Shower Kit typically requires plumbing expertise. Ensure water inlet connections are correctly identified and secure. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual, paying close attention to any specific requirements for minimum/maximum water pressure.

Compatibility: This shower kit is designed to work with standard UK water systems (gravity fed, pumped, unvented, and combi boilers). Ensure your water system can supply adequate pressure for optimal performance. The light chrome finish is intended to coordinate with Balterley brassware, but it can also complement other chrome fixtures.

Care: To maintain the shine and longevity of the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures and rinse thoroughly.
