FAQs
What type of plumbing system is required for this shower?
The Milano Elizabeth shower system is compatible with all types of plumbing systems, including gravity-fed, combi-boiler, and pumped systems. Ensure adequate water pressure for optimal performance.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Wipe the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying with a soft cloth.
What is the benefit of a thermostatic shower valve?
A thermostatic valve maintains a set water temperature, preventing sudden changes caused by other water usage in the home. It also includes anti-scald technology for safety.
Can I use both the shower head and hand shower at the same time?
Yes, this is a dual outlet system, meaning you can use both the overhead shower head and the hand shower simultaneously or independently using the diverter.
Does this shower system come with a warranty?
Please refer to the product's warranty information provided by the retailer or manufacturer for specific details on coverage and duration.
Is professional installation necessary?
Due to the concealed valve, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure proper fitting and prevent potential water damage.
What is the diameter of the round shower head?
The round shower head included in this system has a diameter of 200mm.
Troubleshooting
No hot water or fluctuating temperature
Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve. Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly and providing adequate hot water. Verify the thermostatic setting is not too low.
Low water pressure from shower heads
Ensure the system's overall water pressure is sufficient. Check that both outlets are not in use simultaneously if your system has low pressure. Clean any blockages in the shower head or hand shower.
Dripping from the shower head or hand shower
This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic disc cartridge or seals within the valve. It may require professional servicing or replacement of the cartridge.
Diverter not switching between outlets
The diverter mechanism may be obstructed or worn. This often requires professional inspection and potential repair or replacement of the diverter component.
Matt black finish tarnishing or discolored
Ensure only soft cloths and non-abrasive cleaners are used. Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials can damage the coating. Clean immediately after use to prevent water spots.
