FAQs

What type of water system is required for this shower kit?

This shower kit is designed for high-pressure water systems, such as unvented mains pressure systems, combi boilers, or gravity-fed systems with a shower pump. It will not perform optimally on low-pressure systems.

How does the thermostatic control work?

The thermostatic valve mixes hot and cold water to maintain your selected temperature to within +/- 2 degrees Celsius, automatically adjusting to any fluctuations in water pressure.

What happens if the hot or cold water supply fails?

In the event of a failure in either the hot or cold water supply, the valve will automatically shut down instantly, providing full thermal protection to prevent scalding.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with another soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The manufacturer provides a 3 Year Guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided the product is installed and used according to instructions.

Can I use this shower kit with a shower pump?

Yes, this shower kit is compatible with shower pumps, provided your system is otherwise suitable for high-pressure operation.

Does the kit include a shower hose and handset?

Yes, the kit includes a rigid riser, a round shower head, and a separate handset with its own hose.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low water flow.

Verify that the water supply is turned on and that your system meets the high-pressure requirements. Check for any blockages in the shower head, handset, or the inlet filters. Ensure the thermostatic valve is correctly set to allow water flow.

Water temperature is not stable or fluctuates significantly.

Confirm that the system is a high-pressure system. Check if the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly; it may need cleaning or replacement if it's old or has buildup. Ensure there are no simultaneous high demands on the hot or cold water supply elsewhere in the property.

The shower does not heat up properly.

Ensure the hot water supply is functioning correctly and is at an adequate temperature. Check the thermostatic valve's settings and the condition of the thermostatic cartridge. Confirm adequate flow rates are being achieved.

Leaking from the valve or connections.

Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all connections for tightness and ensure any seals or washers are correctly seated and undamaged. If the leak persists, there may be an issue with the valve itself, and professional inspection may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shower kit is designed for installation in high-pressure water systems, including unvented mains pressure systems. It is also compatible with shower pumps. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct plumbing connections and optimal performance. Refer to the manufacturer's installation manual for detailed step-by-step instructions, including any required wall mounting and water connection procedures.

Compatibility: Ensure your home's water system is a high-pressure system (e.g., combi boiler, unvented system, or gravity-fed system with a powerful pump) for the thermostatic valve and shower to operate as intended. It is not recommended for low-pressure systems.

Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Periodically check the shower head and handset for any limescale buildup and clean as per standard shower head cleaning methods.
