It features a Ceramic Control Valve for smooth and durable water flow management.
Is installation difficult?
The set requires concealed installation, which typically involves in-wall plumbing. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results and safety.
What is the 'Anti-Calc' system?

What is the warranty period?

What are the standard connection dimensions?

Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from showerhead or handset
Check the connection spacing (150mm) and ensure it aligns with your existing plumbing. Clean the anti-calc nozzles on the showerhead and handset. Verify water pressure from your main supply and ensure no other fixtures are drawing excessive water simultaneously.
Dripping from the spout or showerhead when off
Ensure the control valve handles are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge within the valve may need servicing or replacement. Contact customer support or a qualified plumber.
Difficulty switching between functions (bath, shower, handset)
Ensure the 3-way diverter is operating smoothly. Check for any obstructions or scale buildup within the diverter mechanism. Gentle cleaning or professional inspection may be required.
Water temperature is inconsistent
Verify that the mixer valve is correctly installed and balanced. Ensure your hot water system is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, the thermostatic control (if applicable, though not explicitly stated for this model) or the main ceramic valve might require adjustment or service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This shower set is designed for concealed installation, meaning the mixer unit is installed within the wall cavity. This requires careful planning and plumbing work. The mixer features a standard connection spacing of 150mm. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function and to achieve the sleek, integrated look.
Compatibility:
The set is compatible with standard UK/EU plumbing systems. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance of both the overhead shower and the handset. The included components are designed to work seamlessly together as a complete system.
Care:
- Cleaning the Fixtures: Wipe the brass and ABS surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the finish.
- Maintaining Nozzles: Periodically clean the anti-calc nozzles by gently rubbing them with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any mineral deposits. For stubborn buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be applied and left to soak briefly before wiping clean.
- Valve Maintenance: The ceramic valve is designed for durability. In the unlikely event of a drip, ensure the handles are fully closed. If issues persist, professional servicing may be required.
- Hose Care: Periodically check the hose for any kinks or damage. Ensure connections are secure.
