FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Bristan Sonique 3?

The Bristan Sonique 3 comes with a 5-year parts guarantee and a 1-year labour guarantee for peace of mind.

Can I install this shower myself?

Due to the concealed valve, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct and safe setup.

How do I clean the limescale from the shower handset?

Simply rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to easily remove limescale and debris.

What is the preset safety temperature?

The thermostatic cartridge has a preset safety stop at 41°C to prevent scalding. You can select a higher temperature using the override function if needed.

Does this shower mixer come with all the parts needed?

Yes, it is an 'all in one box' pack that includes the recessed shower valve, hose, riser rail, wall outlet, and handset.

Can I adjust the height of the shower head?

Yes, the included riser rail allows for height adjustment of the shower handset.

What happens if the water supply fails?

The shower features an automatic shut-off mechanism in the event of a hot or cold water supply failure, enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or inconsistent temperature

Check that the hot water supply is on and functioning. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is correctly seated and that no debris is obstructing its movement. If issues persist, the cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Low water flow from the handset

Clean the rub-clean nozzles on the handset by rubbing them with your finger or a cloth. Check the hose for kinks and ensure the filter within the wall outlet is clean and free from blockages.

Leaking from the valve or connections

Ensure all connections are tightened correctly. If the leak persists, particularly from the valve itself, it may indicate a faulty seal or cartridge, requiring professional attention.

Shower won't turn on

Verify that both the hot and cold water supplies are turned on. Check the operation of the single sequential lever; ensure it moves freely and engages the valve mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete kit reduces the need for separate purchases.
  • Thermostatic control ensures safe and consistent water temperatures.
  • Easy-to-clean handset for convenience and hygiene.
  • Robust construction with a durable, scratch-resistant finish.
  • Automatic shut-off feature enhances safety.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to concealed valve.
  • Single-function handset may not suit users desiring multiple spray patterns.
  • Override function for higher temperatures needs careful consideration for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Due to the concealed nature of the shower valve, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended. This ensures the valve is correctly plumbed into your hot and cold water supplies and safely concealed within the wall cavity.

Compatibility: This shower mixer is suitable for most standard domestic water systems. Ensure your water system can provide adequate pressure for optimal performance. It is designed to work with standard UK plumbing connections.

Care: The hard-wearing chrome finish should be cleaned regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For the rub-clean handset, periodically rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any limescale or debris. For deeper cleaning, a mild household cleaner suitable for chrome can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
