Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a concealed shower valve, requiring professional installation within the wall cavity. Ensure water supply lines (hot and cold) are correctly routed and accessible. The reversible cartridge simplifies installation if hot and cold connections are inadvertently swapped; simply remove the cartridge, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinsert. Follow manufacturer diagrams for correct orientation and sealing.
Compatibility: The valve is designed for medium pressure water systems. It is recommended that your home's water pressure is at least 0.5 bar but ideally no more than 5 bar for optimal performance.
Care: To maintain the valve's aesthetic and functionality:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the silver finish.
- Limescale: While the cartridge is resistant to build-up, periodic checks may be necessary, especially in very hard water areas. If flow seems reduced, the cartridge may need attention (refer to troubleshooting).
- Diverter: Operate the diverter lever regularly to ensure it remains free-moving.
