FAQs

What material is the shower handset made from?

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

The kit includes an inline diverter, traditional handset, handset cradle, shower hose, and soap dish. It is designed to connect to an existing shower valve.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots or limescale, use a mild solution of water and white vinegar, then rinse and dry.

What is the warranty period for this product?

A guarantee is included with the product, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation for specific terms and duration.

Can this diverter be used with any shower valve?

It is designed to be compatible with standard shower valves and plumbing configurations.

What are the dimensions of the shower handset?

The shower handset dimensions are approximately 68mm in width and 195mm in length.

Is professional installation required?

While designed for integration, professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with plumbing tasks to ensure a leak-free setup.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure from handset

Check the handset's faceplate for any blockages (limescale). Ensure the inline diverter is fully open and not obstructed. Verify that the main shower valve is providing adequate pressure.

Diverter not switching functions smoothly

Check for any obstructions in the diverter mechanism. Ensure the hose is not kinked. If the issue persists, the diverter cartridge may require cleaning or replacement.

Water leaks from connections

Re-tighten all threaded connections. Ensure rubber washers are present and correctly seated in the hose fittings. If leaks continue, consider using plumber's tape on the threads.

Chrome finish appears dull

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
