Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This is an exposed shower mixer, meaning the valve is visible on the outside of the shower wall. It connects directly to your hot and cold water supply pipes. Installation typically involves mounting the riser rail, connecting the shower hose and heads, and securing the valve to the wall outlets.
Compatibility:
- Water System: Suitable for most domestic water systems, including combi boilers, gravity-fed systems, and pressurized systems. Ensure your system can provide adequate hot and cold water pressure for optimal performance.
- Minimum/Maximum Pressure: While not specified, thermostatic mixers generally perform best with balanced hot and cold water pressure. Consult a professional if unsure about your system's suitability.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
- Limescale: Regularly clean the easy-clean rubber nozzles on both the shower head and handset by gently rubbing them to dislodge any mineral buildup.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the shower hose and connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
