Troubleshooting
No water or low flow from shower head/handset
Check that the water supply is on and that the minimum pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar is met. Ensure the diverter is correctly set and check for any blockages in the shower head, handset, or valve inlets.
Water temperature is inconsistent
Ensure the thermostatic valve is not affected by other water-using appliances. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the valve's internal mechanism. If problems persist, the valve may require servicing by a professional.
Leaking from valve or connections
Verify that all connections are securely tightened. Check that appropriate seals or washers are in place and undamaged. If the leak persists, there may be an issue with the valve body or internal seals, requiring professional attention.
Brushed brass finish tarnishing or discolouring
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or harsh chemicals. Clean only with a soft, damp cloth. If tarnish occurs, consult a specialist brass cleaner suitable for coated finishes, following instructions carefully.
