FAQs
Can this diverter control 4 outlets at once?
Yes, this diverter is designed to control 2, 3, or 4 separate shower outlets, allowing you to select individual outlets or run combinations as desired.
What does 'concealed diverter' mean?
A concealed diverter means the main mechanism is installed behind the wall, with only the controls (lever handles and trim plate) visible in the shower. This provides a clean and modern look.
What maintenance is required for the silver finish?
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and rinse well.
Is this diverter suitable for replacing an existing surface-mounted diverter?
This diverter is designed for concealed installation. Replacing a surface-mounted diverter would require significant wall modification and potentially re-tiling, so it's best suited for new installations or renovations.
What other products in the Pride range are available?
The Pride range typically includes other brassware such as basin taps, bath fillers, and shower mixers, all designed to match the contemporary round style and silver finish of this diverter.
Do I need a special shower valve for this diverter?
This diverter typically works in conjunction with a concealed shower valve that provides the hot and cold water supply, which then feeds into the diverter to be sent to the selected outlets.
Troubleshooting
Water not diverting correctly between outlets
Ensure the diverter valve is fully engaged in the desired position. Check for any internal blockages or debris that may be affecting valve movement. Professional inspection might be required.
Low water pressure from selected outlet
Verify that no other outlets are unintentionally open. Check that the showerhead or outlet is not clogged with limescale. Ensure your home's water pressure is adequate for multiple outlets being used simultaneously.
Diverter handle is stiff or difficult to move
The diverter may require lubrication or cleaning internally. If the issue persists, contact a qualified plumber as internal components might need attention or replacement.
Leaking from the wall plate or handle
Check the seals around the wall plate and handle. Ensure all internal plumbing connections are secure and properly sealed. This may require professional plumbing assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This diverter is designed for concealed installation within the wall. Professional plumbing installation is recommended to ensure proper function and watertight connections. It requires a water supply that can feed 2, 3, or 4 separate shower outlets.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It is designed to work with shower outlets (e.g., showerheads, body jets, hand showers). The silver finish is intended to match other brassware, particularly within the Balterley Pride range.
Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check connections to ensure no leaks.
