FAQs
Is this shower suitable for a low-pressure water system?
No, this is an electric shower and requires a mains cold water supply. It is not designed for low-pressure or gravity-fed systems.
What electrical supply is required for this shower?
This is a 9.5kW shower and requires a dedicated, high-integrity electrical circuit with appropriate cable sizing and fuse protection, typically installed by a qualified electrician.
How do I adjust the water temperature?
The temperature is adjusted using the manual control knob. The desired temperature is then digitally displayed. The shower will maintain this temperature within its operating limits.
How often should I clean the shower head?
It is recommended to clean the shower head periodically, especially in hard water areas, to prevent limescale build-up and maintain optimal spray performance. Monthly checks are advisable.
What does the automatic phased shutdown do?
This feature automatically flushes residual hot water from the heating element after the shower is turned off. This helps to reduce limescale build-up and prolong the life of the shower.
Can I install this shower myself?
Due to the high power rating and electrical requirements, installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Troubleshooting
No hot water or reduced water flow
Check the power supply to the shower. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the cold water inlet is not blocked. Clean the shower head and flow restrictor if applicable.
Water temperature is too low
Adjust the temperature control to a higher setting. Note that electric shower output is dependent on the incoming water temperature and the unit's kW rating. On very cold days, the maximum achievable temperature might be lower.
Shower is making unusual noises
Some noise is normal during operation. However, loud or persistent rattling might indicate limescale build-up or a blockage. Refer to care instructions for cleaning.
Display is not working
Check the power supply. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician as there may be an internal electrical fault.
