FAQs

What is the warranty period for this shower pack?

The Bristan Hourglass Shower Pack comes with a 5-year parts and 1-year labour guarantee for peace of mind.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.

Can I install this shower myself?

The pack is designed for easy installation with an adjustable faceplate. However, it involves plumbing and concealed valve fitting, so professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended for optimal results and to ensure warranty compliance.

What water pressure is recommended for this shower?

While the pack is designed to work with most domestic systems, it performs best with adequate water pressure. Refer to the specific product manual for minimum and maximum recommended operating pressures.

How do I switch between the drench head and the handset?

Use the integrated diverter control on the shower valve. Simply turn the control to switch water flow between the overhead drench head and the multi-function handset.

What does 'dual control' mean for this shower?

Dual control means that the water temperature and the water flow rate are controlled independently by separate handles or levers on the shower valve, allowing for precise adjustment of each.

Troubleshooting

No water or low water flow from shower head/handset

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure inlet connections are not blocked. Verify that the diverter is correctly set to the desired outlet. Clean the rub-clean nozzles. Check for any kinks in the flexible hose.

Difficulty controlling water temperature

Ensure the flow control is not restricting hot water supply. Check the maximum temperature stop setting on the valve (if applicable and adjustable). Ensure the hot water supply is adequate and at the correct temperature.

Leaking from shower valve or connections

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that seals and washers are present and in good condition. If the leak persists, the internal cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Diverter not switching between shower head and handset

Ensure the diverter control knob is operated fully. The internal mechanism may require cleaning or servicing if debris has entered the valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Care:
