FAQs

What is the warranty period?

All Bristan Cascade products are backed with a 5 year guarantee.

How do I adjust the water temperature?

Use the temperature control handle to set your desired temperature. The thermostatic valve will maintain that temperature.

What should I do if the water temperature is too hot?

Immediately turn the temperature control towards the cold side to reduce the temperature. Check your hot water system to ensure it isn't set too high.

How do I clean the shower mixer?

Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a dedicated chrome cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What if the shower head is blocked?

Remove the shower head and clean it. You may soak it in a solution of warm water and vinegar to remove any limescale.

Can I install this shower myself?

While the shower is designed for easy installation, it's recommended to consult a qualified plumber if you are unsure about any part of the process.

What are the inlet pipe centers?

The inlet pipe centers are 150mm, which is an industry standard.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Check the hot and cold water supply pressures. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact a professional.

Low water flow.

Check for any blockages in the shower head or the cartridge. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Clean or replace the cartridge if needed.

Shower is leaking.

Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any loose fittings. Inspect and replace any worn-out seals or washers. Contact a professional if the issue persists.
