FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Werkzeyt Cornat Basin Shower Kit?
Its main purpose is to convert a standard basin tap into a temporary shower function, allowing for tasks like rinsing hair or cleaning items directly at the sink.
Will this kit fit any basin tap?
It fits standard basin taps with M22x1 or M24x1 aerator fittings. You should check your tap's aerator size before purchasing.
Do I need a plumber to install this?
No, installation is typically tool-free and can be done by hand. It simply screws onto the existing tap aerator fitting.
Can I use this with a hot water tank or only continuous-flow heaters?
The product is specified as suitable for continuous-flow heaters. While it may function with other hot water systems, performance could vary.
How do I switch between tap water and shower mode?
There is a button or lever on the shower head unit that you press or move to direct water flow to the shower spray.
What is the length of the shower hose?
The product information does not specify the hose length, but it is designed for basin use, implying a shorter, manageable length.
Is this a permanent shower replacement?
No, this is a conversion kit for temporary use and is not intended as a replacement for a dedicated shower system.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from the connection point
Ensure the kit is screwed on tightly. If it still leaks, check the rubber seal inside the fitting and ensure it's seated correctly, or try using plumber's tape on the tap threads before attaching the kit.
Water does not spray from the shower head
Verify that the main tap is turned on. Check that the button or lever on the shower head is in the 'shower' position. Ensure the aerator fitting is correctly installed and not blocked.
Low water pressure from the shower head
The shower head's pressure is limited by your home's water supply. Check your main tap's water flow. Clean any sediment from the shower head nozzle and the tap's aerator connection.
Incompatible tap fitting
Measure your tap's aerator thread size. If it's not M22x1 or M24x1, this kit will not fit directly. You may need an adapter, though availability can be limited.
