FAQs
What is the power rating of this shower?
This is a 9.5kW electric shower.
Do I need a hot water tank for this shower?
No, electric showers heat water on demand directly from the mains cold water supply, so no separate hot water tank is required.
How often should I clean the shower head?
It is recommended to clean the shower head regularly, especially if you live in a hard water area, to prevent limescale buildup. Use the 'Rub-clean' nozzles or a mild descaler as needed.
What does the phased shutdown feature do?
The phased shutdown feature automatically flushes the heating chamber with cold water after the shower is turned off. This helps to reduce limescale buildup and extend the life of the shower unit.
Is professional installation necessary?
Yes, due to the electrical and water connections involved, professional installation by a qualified electrician and plumber is highly recommended for safety and correct operation.
What is the warranty period?
The shower comes with a 2-year parts and labour guarantee, valid in the UK only.
Can this shower be used with a gravity-fed water system?
No, this electric shower must be connected to a mains cold water supply and is not suitable for gravity-fed systems.
Troubleshooting
Shower not heating water
Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the shower has been correctly installed and wired. Verify the temperature control is set to a heating setting.
Low water pressure or flow
Check the inlet filter for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the shower head is not clogged with limescale; use the 'Rub-clean' feature or a mild descaler. Verify water supply is adequate.
Shower switches off unexpectedly
This could be due to the thermal cut-out activating if the shower overheats. Allow the unit to cool down. Ensure no blockages are causing strain. Check the installation manual for specific error codes or indicators.
Buttons not responding
Ensure the shower is powered on. Check for any obvious obstructions around the buttons. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.

Ensure the power supply is adequate for a 9.5kW unit and that the water supply pressure meets the minimum requirements specified in the installation manual.
