FAQs

What material is the shower set made from?

The shower set, including the mixer valve, is constructed from solid brass for durability and longevity.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, due to the concealed nature of the thermostatic mixer valve, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended.

What is the benefit of thermostatic control?

Thermostatic control precisely regulates water temperature, maintaining your set temperature and preventing sudden, potentially dangerous fluctuations in heat.

How do I clean the shower head?

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For limescale, gently clean the nozzles with a mild vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly.

What is the size of the main shower head?

The main shower head is 300mm in diameter, providing a wide coverage area for a rainfall effect.

Can I use this with a combi boiler?

Yes, this mixer valve is generally compatible with combi boilers, provided your system has adequate water pressure and hot water supply.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or inconsistent temperature

Check that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the valve. Ensure your water heater is functioning properly and providing sufficient hot water. The thermostatic element may require adjustment or replacement if the issue persists.

Low water pressure from shower head or handheld wand

Inspect the shower head and handheld wand for blockages or limescale buildup. Clean the nozzles as per the care instructions. Check the flow restrictors (if present and permitted by local regulations) or ensure the main water supply valves are fully open.

Leaking from the valve or connections

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If the leak is from the valve itself, it may indicate a faulty ceramic disc or seal, requiring servicing or replacement of the valve cartridge.

Difficulty switching between shower head and handheld wand

Check the diverter mechanism within the valve for any obstructions or signs of wear. Ensure it is being operated correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the concealed thermostatic mixer valve requires careful planning and should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber. The valve body is mounted within the wall cavity, and access for maintenance should be considered during installation. The shower head and handheld wand connect via standard plumbing fittings.

Compatibility:

This shower mixer valve is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. Ensure your home's water pressure is adequate to operate both the main shower head and the handheld function effectively. It is designed to be wall-mounted.

Care:

  • Clean the shower head and valve trim regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and soap residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
  • For limescale buildup on the shower head nozzles, use a mild vinegar solution or a specialized limescale remover, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks.
