FAQs

What is the minimum installation depth required?

The Bristan Prism 2 Shower Mixer requires a minimum cavity depth of 35mm for installation.

How do I adjust the maximum temperature?

The mixer has a preset safety stop at 42°C. To select a higher temperature, use the override function as detailed in the installation manual.

Is this shower valve suitable for a combi boiler system?

Yes, this valve is generally compatible with combi boiler systems, provided your system provides adequate and stable hot water pressure.

How often should the cartridge be serviced?

Regular servicing is recommended based on water hardness and usage. Check the user manual for specific recommendations. Typically, an annual check is advisable.

What happens if the hot or cold water supply fails?

The shower valve is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature that will immediately stop the water flow in the event of a sudden failure in either the hot or cold water supply, ensuring safety.

Can I install this myself?

While basic installation might be possible for experienced DIYers, recessed shower valves often require specific plumbing knowledge and tools. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and safety.

What warranty does this product have?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official Bristan website for the most current warranty information, as it may vary.

Troubleshooting

No water flow

Check that both hot and cold water supplies are turned on and that there are no blockages in the pipes or shower head. Ensure the main water supply to the property is active.

Water temperature too low/high

Verify the hot water supply is adequate. If the water is too cool, check the thermostat override setting. If too hot, ensure the safety stop is functioning correctly or adjust if necessary.

Inconsistent water flow or temperature

Check for partially closed isolation valves. Ensure the system pressure is stable. Sediment build-up in the cartridge may require cleaning or replacement.

Valve is difficult to operate

The internal cartridge may require cleaning or lubrication. If the issue persists, the cartridge might need replacing. Ensure handles are securely attached.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shower valve is designed for recessed installation into a cavity space of at least 35mm. Ensure that all connections are made according to the manufacturer's instructions and local plumbing regulations. The valve requires separate hot and cold water feeds. It is supplied with a wall outlet for connecting your shower hose.

Compatibility: This mixer is compatible with most standard UK water systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, and high-pressure systems. However, for optimal thermostatic performance, a balanced system is recommended. Ensure your water pressure meets the minimum requirements specified in the product manual.

Care: To maintain the pristine finish, clean the shower mixer regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome surface. For internal maintenance, the cartridge can be accessed from the front for easier servicing.
