Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Ensure your system has adequate pressure. Check that the thermostatic valve is not obstructed by debris. If the issue persists, consult a professional plumber.

Shower head has low water flow.

Clean the spray nozzles to remove any limescale or debris. Check the shower hose and valve for blockages. Ensure the eco setting is not accidentally engaged if full flow is desired.

Valve is difficult to operate.

Ensure there are no obstructions. If the controls feel stiff, it may require professional servicing.

Shower feels too hot or too cold.

Verify the temperature control is set correctly. Use the temperature override button if attempting to select a higher temperature. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly; if not, it may need replacement.
