How does the thermostatic control work?
The thermostatic control automatically adjusts the mix of hot and cold water to maintain your desired temperature to within +/- 1 degree Celsius, even if water pressure fluctuates.
What happens if the hot or cold water supply is shut off?
The valve provides full thermal protection, shutting off both hot and cold water supplies in the event of a sudden failure in either, to prevent scalding.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature is inconsistent.
Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water supply lines. If the issue persists, consult a qualified plumber.
Low water flow from the shower head.
Clean the shower head nozzles to remove any potential debris or limescale. Check the filters within the valve for blockages. Ensure water supply pressures are adequate for the system.
Leaking from the valve or connections.
Check that all connections are securely tightened. Ensure appropriate sealing tape or compound has been used on threaded connections. Inspect the valve seals and consider replacement if they appear worn.
Shower head is not switching on/off correctly.
Inspect the diverter mechanism within the valve for any obstructions or damage. Ensure smooth operation of the diverter control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shower valve and riser kit requires professional installation by a qualified plumber. Ensure that all water connections are made according to local plumbing regulations. The rigid riser should be securely fixed to the wall. The valve itself is designed for straightforward connection to your existing hot and cold water supplies.
Compatibility: The kit is suitable for most UK water systems, including low-pressure systems, thanks to its design for excellent flow rates. It is compatible with systems that can provide a minimum water pressure for optimal performance, though it is engineered to work effectively even at lower levels. It is important to ensure your hot water system can supply sufficient hot water.
Care: To maintain the finish and functionality of your shower valve and riser kit, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome and white finish. For the internal cartridge, while it is resistant to limescale, occasional checks may be beneficial. Periodically clean the shower head nozzles to prevent any blockage.
