FAQs

What is a thermostatic mixer valve?

A thermostatic mixer valve mixes hot and cold water to a set temperature, automatically adjusting to maintain that temperature despite changes in water pressure from other outlets.

Is this shower set suitable for low water pressure systems?

While it is compatible with most systems, performance, especially the rainfall effect, is best with adequate water pressure. For low pressure, consider a compatible shower pump.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or scouring pads.

Can I install this myself?

Installation involves concealed plumbing and requires precision. It is strongly recommended to have a qualified plumber install the set for safety and optimal function.

What is included in the set?

The set typically includes the thermostatic mixer valve, a rainfall shower head, a hand-held shower wand, shower hose, and necessary mounting hardware for the shower heads.

How often should I service the thermostatic valve?

There is no fixed servicing schedule, but regular cleaning of filters and checking for leaks can prolong its life. If you experience persistent temperature control issues, professional servicing may be required.

Will this set work with an electric shower?

No, this thermostatic mixer valve set requires dedicated hot and cold water supplies and is not compatible with electric showers, which heat water on demand.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuating significantly.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is correctly installed and functioning. Check that the hot and cold water supplies are balanced and that no other appliances are drawing heavily on water simultaneously. If the issue persists, the valve may require servicing or replacement by a professional.

Low water flow from shower heads.

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the shower heads and valve inlets for any blockages caused by debris or limescale. Clean the filters within the valve connections if accessible and safe to do so. Verify adequate water pressure from your home's system.

Matt black finish shows water spots or marks.

Dry the surfaces with a soft cloth after each use. Clean regularly with a mild soap and water solution, rinsing thoroughly and drying immediately. Avoid leaving cleaning products on the surface for extended periods.

Handheld shower head is difficult to detach/reattach.

Ensure the hose connection is clean and free of debris. Check that the bracket or holder is not obstructed. A small amount of silicone lubricant on the hose connector threads might help, but consult the manual or a professional if issues persist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of this concealed shower valve set typically requires access to the wall cavity behind the shower. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct pipe connections and sealing. Ensure all connections are made according to local building codes.

Compatibility: This shower set is compatible with most standard UK plumbing systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, and high-pressure systems. However, performance may vary based on your existing water pressure. It requires hot and cold water supplies.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For limescale, use a mild descaler and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check the shower heads for blockages and clean as needed.
