FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Gainsborough Exposed Single Outlet Manual Mixer Shower comes with a 5-year parts guarantee.

Can this shower be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, this mixer shower is compatible with all approved UK water systems, including those with combi boilers, provided the water pressure is between 0.15-5 bar.

How do I clean the rub-clean handset?

Simply wipe the rubber nozzles with a damp cloth to remove any limescale and maintain a clear spray pattern.

Is this shower suitable for a gravity-fed system?

Yes, it is designed to work with water pressures as low as 0.15 bar, making it suitable for most gravity-fed systems.

What is the maximum water pressure it can handle?

The shower is compatible with systems operating up to 5 bar of water pressure.

Does it have separate controls for hot and cold water?

No, this is a manual mixer shower with a single handle that controls both on/off, temperature, and flow.

What maintenance is required for the chrome finish?

Wipe the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products to prevent scratching.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow from the showerhead.

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the water pressure is within the 0.15-5 bar range. Inspect the inlet filters on the mixer valve for blockages.

Inconsistent water temperature or difficulty adjusting.

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the mixer. Ensure there are no blockages in the pipes. The single-handle mixer may require precise adjustments to achieve the desired temperature.

Leaking from the mixer valve or connections.

Ensure all connections are tightened securely but not overtightened. Check that any seals or washers are correctly seated and in good condition. If the leak persists, professional inspection may be required.

Handset is difficult to adjust on the rail.

Ensure the push-button mechanism on the holder is clean and free from debris. Try gently wiggling the handset holder while pressing the button. If it remains stuck, a small amount of silicone lubricant may help, but consult the manual first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual for specific plumbing and mounting instructions to ensure a secure and leak-free fit.

Compatibility: The Gainsborough mixer shower is compatible with all approved UK water systems. It operates effectively within a water pressure range of 0.15 bar to 5 bar. Please verify your home's water pressure before installation to ensure optimal performance.
