Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This shower kit is designed for installation onto existing shower or bath valve pipework. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe operation, particularly the connection to water supplies and the thermostatic valve.
- Ensure the water supply is turned off.
- Mount the adjustable rail to the wall, ensuring secure fixing.
- Connect the main feed from the shower valve to the shower hose.
- Attach the overhead shower head to the upper part of the rail and the handset to the lower bracket.
- Check all connections are watertight before turning the water supply back on.
Compatibility:
- This kit requires a minimum of 1.0 bar water pressure for optimal performance. It is compatible with most common plumbing systems, including combi-boilers, gravity-fed systems, and unvented systems.
- The Matt Black finish is designed to coordinate with Balterley's Pride brassware range. Ensure your existing pipework is compatible with the fittings provided.
Care:
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the Matt Black finish.
- Periodically remove and clean the shower heads to prevent limescale buildup. Soaking them in a mild vinegar solution can help dissolve deposits.
- Check and clean any filters within the system as per plumber's instructions to maintain water flow.
