Product Information

Full details

This Balterley Square Thermostatic Shower Kit in Brushed Pewter is designed for busy households seeking a durable and stylish shower upgrade. It offers versatile showering options with both a fixed overhead head and an adjustable handset, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone. The key benefit is its anti-scald thermostatic technology, providing safety by preventing sudden temperature changes, especially in case of cold water shut-off. A potential consideration is the fixed nature of the overhead head, which may not suit all bathroom layouts or user preferences.

FAQs

What is thermostatic anti-scald technology?

Thermostatic anti-scald technology ensures a safe showering experience by automatically regulating water temperature. It mixes hot and cold water to a pre-set temperature and instantly shuts off or reduces flow if the cold water supply fails, preventing scalding.

Can I adjust the height of the fixed overhead shower head?

The fixed overhead shower head is mounted at a set height. However, the adjustable handset can be moved up and down a riser rail to suit different user heights.

What type of water systems is this shower kit compatible with?

This shower kit is generally compatible with most UK water systems, including combi boilers, gravity-fed systems, and unvented systems, provided they meet the minimum and maximum pressure requirements.

How do I clean the brushed pewter finish?

Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads, as they can scratch or damage the surface. Always dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

How often should I clean the shower heads?

It is recommended to clean the shower heads every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness, to prevent limescale buildup and maintain optimal water flow.

Do I need a professional plumber to install this kit?

Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct and safe setup, especially for the thermostatic valve, and to guarantee optimal performance.

What is the warranty period for this shower kit?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature fluctuates wildly.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is correctly installed and functioning. Check that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements. If issues persist, the valve may need servicing or replacement.

Low water flow from shower heads.

Check for blockages in the shower heads, particularly the anti-limescale nozzles. Clean the filters within the valve inlets. Verify that your home's water pressure is sufficient.

The anti-scald feature does not seem to work.

Confirm that the thermostatic valve is installed in the correct orientation. Check if there is a significant pressure drop in either the hot or cold water supply. If the problem continues, contact a professional installer.

Brushed pewter finish looks dull or stained.

Use only mild soap and water or a cleaner specifically designed for brushed metal finishes. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after cleaning.
