Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water supply to the shower.

Check that the main water supply valves are open and that there are no blockages in the pipework leading to the shower. Ensure the shower valve is correctly connected to both hot and cold water inlets.

Inconsistent water temperature or temperature fluctuations.

Verify that the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Check for blockages in the shower head or hose. Ensure the water pressure is stable. If the issue persists, the internal valve mechanism may require servicing or replacement.

Low water flow rate.

Inspect the shower head for limescale buildup and clean or replace it. Check the shower hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure that the main water supply is not restricted and that any filters within the system are clean.

Difficulty adjusting temperature controls.

Ensure the controls are not stiff due to limescale. Gently try to work the controls. If they remain stiff or unresponsive, professional servicing may be required.
