FAQs

Is this shower suitable for gravity-fed water systems?

No, this shower is designed for high-pressure water systems and combi boilers. It is not suitable for low-pressure or gravity-fed systems without a compatible booster pump.

How do I adjust the water temperature?

The temperature is adjusted using the thermostatic control dial on the bar valve. There is also a maximum temperature override button for increased heat when desired.

Can I use different cleaning products on the matt black finish?

It is best to use only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the matt black coating.

What is the maximum flow rate for each shower head?

At 3 Bar pressure, the handset has a maximum flow rate of 8.5 liters per minute, and the fixed head has a maximum flow rate of 11.5 liters per minute.

How high can the shower column be adjusted?

The telescopic shower column can be adjusted from a minimum height of 930mm to a maximum height of 1260mm.

What is included in the quick-install fixing kit?

The kit typically includes the necessary brackets and fixings to mount the shower column securely to the wall, simplifying the installation process.

Does this shower have a safety stop for hot water?

Yes, it features a maximum temperature override that requires you to press a button to exceed a pre-set safe temperature, enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is too hot or too cold

Check that the thermostatic control is set correctly. Ensure the system pressure is adequate and stable. If the issue persists, contact a qualified plumber to check the valve and system.

Low water flow from shower heads

Clean the easy-clean nozzles on both shower heads. Check the system for blockages, particularly the filters. Ensure your water system pressure meets the product's requirements.

Difficulty switching between shower heads

Ensure the diverter lever is fully engaged when switching. Check for any debris obstructing the diverter mechanism. If the problem persists, the diverter may need servicing or replacement.

Valve is hot to the touch

While the valve has cool touch technology, some warmth is expected. If it becomes excessively hot, this may indicate an issue with the thermostatic element or water flow. Turn off the water supply and consult a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

This shower is suitable for high pressure and combi boiler water systems. For systems with lower pressure, a compatible booster pump may be required to achieve optimal performance.

Setup:

Installation typically involves connecting the bar valve to existing hot and cold water inlets, usually on standard copper pipework. The included quick-install fixing kit aids in securing the shower column and heads. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe fitting.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Valve and Heads: Wipe the matt black casing and shower heads with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or nozzles.
  • Limescale Removal: The easy-clean nozzles can be cleaned by gently rubbing them with a finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any limescale buildup. For stubborn deposits, a mild solution of water and vinegar can be applied sparingly and then rinsed.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any visible signs of wear or damage. Ensure the diverter operates smoothly.
