The shower mixer is crafted from premium solid H59 brass with multi-layer chrome plating. The shower hose is made of stainless steel.
The thermostatic valve has a built-in safety lock at 38°C. This prevents the water temperature from exceeding this point unless the lock is manually overridden, significantly reducing the risk of scalding.
Yes, the kit features an adjustable riser rail (635mm extra-long) and a 360° rotating bracket, allowing you to set the shower head to your preferred height and angle.
The hand shower offers different spray modes that can be switched effortlessly with one button, providing a varied showering experience.
The kit is designed for quick and easy installation with included fittings and screws. Many users can install it themselves in a few minutes, though professional help is an option.
The outlet water temperature range for this thermostatic shower system is 20-50°C.
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For limescale, use a mild vinegar solution followed by rinsing and drying.
Ensure both hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced. Check that the thermostatic valve is not obstructed. If pressure is low, consider a pressure-boosting system.
The thermostatic cartridge may require adjustment or replacement. Refer to the installation manual for recalibration steps or contact customer support.
Check the shower head for blockages or limescale buildup. Clean the shower head's spray nozzles. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
Lubricate the riser rail mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the sliding mechanism.
Verify that all connections are tightened securely. Check seals and washers for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Professional inspection may be required for persistent leaks.
Setup:
Installation is designed to be fast and straightforward, typically taking only a few minutes. The kit includes all necessary screws and fittings. It is recommended to consult the included product installation instructions for detailed step-by-step guidance. For those unfamiliar with plumbing, professional installation is advised to ensure proper function and prevent leaks.
Compatibility:
This shower system is designed to perform at high water pressures. However, for optimal thermostatic performance and consistent temperature regulation, it is best suited for systems with adequate and balanced hot and cold water pressure. Compatibility with existing shower outlets should be checked before purchase.
Care:
To maintain the sleek, high-gloss chrome finish and prevent corrosion, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome plating and damage the material. For limescale buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
