Troubleshooting

Water temperature is too hot or too cold.

Adjust the temperature control on the valve. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly.

Water flow is weak.

Check that the water pressure is within the required range (0.5 to 5.0 bar). Clean the filters if necessary.

Shower head is dripping after use.

This is normal, but check for any debris causing blockages in the shower head or valve.

Difficulty switching between shower heads.

Check the diverter valve for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the valve is fully engaged for each shower head.

The valve is leaking.

Check all connections and tighten if necessary. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber as it could be an internal issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure the water supply is turned off before starting.
  2. Mounting: Use the Wallmount 12 system, connecting to 15mm pipework at 150mm pipe centres.
  3. Connections: Connect the hot and cold water supplies to the valve.
  4. Riser Rail: Install the riser rail and adjust the height as needed.
  5. Testing: Turn the water back on and check for leaks. Adjust the temperature limit as desired.

Compatibility

The shower is compatible with all water systems and pressures between 0.5 to 5.0 bar. It is designed to fit over existing bar shower valves with 3/4" threaded connections at 150mm centres.

Care

  • Cleaning: Use a soft cloth to clean the chrome surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
