Product Information
Full details
The Scudo Apres Shower Kit in Black is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, functional, and stylish showering experience. Its key benefit lies in its thermostatic control and dual shower heads, offering a customizable and safe shower. A potential caveat is its minimum operating pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar, which may necessitate a shower pump in some low-pressure systems. This wall-mounted kit features a 200mm main shower head with easy-clean nozzles, a height-adjustable handset, and two handle style options for personalized aesthetics.

Troubleshooting
No water or very low flow
Check that the water supply is turned on. Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses and that the filters are clean.
Temperature fluctuations
Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Check for blockages in the hot and cold water inlets. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement by a professional.
Leaking from shower head or handset
Check that all connections are secure. Ensure rubber washers are present and correctly seated. If leaks persist, the internal seals or cartridge may be damaged and require replacement.
Difficulty cleaning nozzles
Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. For stubborn limescale, a mild descaler can be used, followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure no abrasive materials are used.
