Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is WRAS approval?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been tested and meets the high standards of the UK Water Regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and does not waste water.

How does the anti-scalding device work?

The anti-scalding device is a safety feature that automatically stops the water flow if the temperature exceeds a preset limit (38°C in this case), preventing accidental burns.

Can this shower mixer be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, this shower mixer is compatible with combi boilers, provided the system meets the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 Bar.

What maintenance is required for the matte black finish?

The matte black finish should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

What is the benefit of ceramic disc technology?

Ceramic disc technology provides a durable and smooth operation for the valve, leading to a longer product lifespan and resistance to wear and tear compared to traditional valves.

Does the height of the riser rail adjust?

Yes, the shower features a telescopic adjustable height riser rail, allowing you to set the shower head to your preferred height.

What is included in the Fast Fit Installation Kit?

The Fast Fit Installation Kit is designed to simplify installation, reducing the need for in-wall support and minimizing the chance of in-wall leakage as joints are typically external.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow from shower head.

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the minimum water pressure of 0.5 Bar is met. Inspect the shower head and hose for any blockages or kinks.

Water temperature is inconsistent or too hot/cold.

Verify the thermostatic control is set correctly. Ensure the anti-scalding device is functioning as expected. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may require servicing or replacement.

Leaking from the valve or connections.

Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Check that any seals or washers are in place and not damaged. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Shower head sprays unevenly.

Clean the nozzles on the shower head to remove any limescale or debris. Ensure the swivel joint is moving freely.
