FAQs
What is the warranty period for this shower valve?
The manufacturer provides a 5-year guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided the product has been installed and used according to instructions. This excludes consumable parts.
Can this valve be used with a combi boiler?
Yes, this valve is suitable for medium-pressure systems, which includes many combi boiler installations, provided the system delivers adequate water pressure.
How do I clean the valve's exterior?
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
Is this valve suitable for a power shower?
This valve is designed for medium-pressure systems. While it can work with some higher-pressure systems, performance is optimized for medium pressure (e.g., gravity-fed with a pump, or standard boiler systems).
What does 'concealed' mean in the product description?
Concealed means that the main body of the shower valve is installed behind the wall, with only the control handles and trim plate visible in the shower. This provides a cleaner, more minimalist look.
What is a diverter, and what does it do?
A diverter is a mechanism that allows you to switch the water flow between two different outlets. For example, you can use it to direct water to either a fixed overhead shower head or a handheld shower hose.
How resistant is the cartridge to limescale?
The valve features a unique, patented cartridge that is highly resistant to calcium build-up, making it particularly suitable for use in areas with hard water.
Troubleshooting
No water flow or very low flow
Check that the main water supply is on. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement for medium-pressure systems. Inspect for any blockages in the pipework or at the valve inlets.
Water temperature is too hot or too cold
Verify the correct connection of hot and cold water supplies to the valve. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly; consider if limescale build-up is affecting its performance.
Diverter not switching between outlets
Check that the diverter mechanism itself is properly engaged and that there are no obstructions. Ensure the connected outlets are not blocked.
Valve leaks externally
Ensure all connections are secure and properly sealed. If the leak is from the valve body, it may require professional assessment or replacement.
Water temperature fluctuates significantly
Confirm that the water pressure is stable and within the recommended range for the valve. Check if other appliances are using water simultaneously, which can affect pressure and temperature consistency.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Provides consistent and safe water temperature with thermostatic control.
Quick safety shut-off mechanism protects against scalding.
Resistant to limescale, ideal for hard water areas.
Flexible installation options (vertical/horizontal) and cartridge reversibility simplify fitting.
Best suited for medium-pressure water systems; may not perform optimally with very low pressure.
Concealed installation requires wall access and professional fitting.
Requires separate shower heads and controls, as the diverter only directs water flow.
The 5-year guarantee excludes serviceable parts.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure water supply is turned off. The valve requires professional installation behind the wall, typically during a bathroom renovation or when replacing an existing system.
Mounting: The valve body is secured within the wall cavity, with external trim plates and controls fitted afterward.
Connections: Connect hot and cold water inlets and the shower/bath outlet. The diverter connects to the outlet for the secondary fixture (e.g., bath spout or additional shower head).
Cartridge Orientation: Before final installation, check if hot and cold supply lines are correctly connected. If reversed, remove the cartridge, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinsert.
Compatibility:
Water Systems: Suitable for medium-pressure water systems (typically requiring a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar).
Diverter Use: Designed to divert water between two outlets (e.g., main shower head and handheld shower, or shower head and bath filler). You will need separate trim kits for each outlet.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the external trim with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
Internal Maintenance: The anti-calcium cartridge is designed for longevity. Should performance degrade over extended periods, professional servicing might be required.
