Troubleshooting

Shower not producing hot water

Check the hot water supply to the shower. Ensure the mixer valve is correctly connected to both hot and cold water inlets. Verify that the thermostatic control is set to the desired temperature.

Low water flow from the rainfall head

Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Check the inlet filters on the valve for blockages. Clean any potential obstructions in the shower head nozzles.

Water temperature fluctuates unexpectedly

Verify the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no other high-demand water uses elsewhere in the house that could affect pressure and temperature. If the issue persists, the valve may require servicing.

Leaking from the valve or shower head

Check all plumbing connections for tightness. Inspect seals and washers for wear and tear. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber for assessment and repair or replacement of valve components.
