FAQs

What is thermostatic technology?

Thermostatic technology is a safety feature that maintains a set water temperature, automatically adjusting to prevent scalding or sudden cold shocks, even if there are pressure changes in your water supply.

Can I use this shower kit with a combi boiler?

Yes, this shower kit is generally compatible with combi boiler systems, provided your boiler can supply sufficient hot and cold water flow rates.

How do I clean the shower nozzles?

Most modern showerheads have rubberized nozzles that can be cleaned by gently rubbing them with your finger to dislodge limescale. For tougher build-up, a mild descaler can be used.

What is the warranty period for this shower kit?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation for the specific warranty period and terms.

Does the kit come with all necessary fittings?

The kit typically includes the main shower components and some basic fittings. However, specific plumbing connections or extenders may be required based on your existing bathroom setup, and these are usually purchased separately.

Is the handset height adjustable?

The handset is usually mounted on a riser rail, allowing for height adjustment to suit different users. Specific adjustment ranges are detailed in the product's technical specifications.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the thermostatic valve has reached its optimal operating temperature. Check that water flow isn't restricted and that your home's water supply pressure is stable.

Low water pressure from shower head or handset.

Check for blockages in the showerhead nozzles or handset. Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open and that there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.

Anti-scald feature engages too frequently.

This may indicate a significant fluctuation in your cold water supply. Consult a plumber to check your home's water pressure and system balance.

Chrome finish appears dull or spotted.

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Dry thoroughly with a separate soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Balterley Round Thermostatic Shower Kit is designed for installation by a qualified plumber. Ensure your existing pipework is compatible and meets the minimum pressure requirements specified by the manufacturer. Follow the included installation manual carefully for optimal placement and connection of both the overhead shower and the handset.

Compatibility: This shower kit is compatible with most standard UK plumbing systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, and unvented systems, provided water pressure is adequate. It is recommended to check your system's water pressure and flow rate before installation.

Care: To maintain the pristine appearance of the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For limescale build-up, use a mild descaler specifically designed for bathroom fixtures and rinse thoroughly.
