Troubleshooting
Low water flow from shower head
Check that the operating water pressure meets the recommended 1.0 bar. Ensure the shower valve is fully open and that there are no blockages in the shower head or internal pipes. Clean any visible debris from the shower head face.
Inconsistent water temperature
This is often related to the shower valve. Ensure you are using a compatible thermostatic shower valve and that it is functioning correctly. Check if the water supply to the valve has adequate pressure and temperature.
Dripping from the shower head when not in use
Ensure the shower valve is completely turned off after use. If dripping persists, there may be an issue with the valve's internal mechanism, or debris may be caught in the valve seat, preventing a complete seal.
Chrome finish is dull or tarnished
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
