Troubleshooting
Low water pressure
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the hose, handset, and showerheads are not clogged with limescale; clean the Anti-Calc nozzles. Verify that the concealed mixer is correctly installed and functioning as expected.
Diverter not switching functions properly
Ensure the 3-way diverter control is being operated smoothly. If stiff, it may require professional attention to the internal valve mechanism.
Leaking from connections
Carefully check all hose and pipe connections. Tighten them gently. If leaks persist, the seals may need replacement, or professional assistance may be required, especially for concealed parts.
Handset holder is loose
Check the mounting screws for the handset holder. Tighten them securely. If it's a wall-mounted component, ensure it's properly fixed to the wall.
