FAQs
What type of water system is this shower panel compatible with?
This shower panel is designed for high-pressure systems and is compatible with combi boiler systems. It requires rear wall-fed installation.
Does the panel include all necessary installation parts?
The panel comes with 22mm flexible hoses for installation. However, depending on your existing plumbing, additional connectors or fittings may be required. Professional installation is recommended.
How do I clean the shower panel?
Clean the panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild descaling solution suitable for bathroom fixtures.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The panel comes with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Can I adjust the direction of the body jets?
While the body jets provide an invigorating shower experience, their direction is typically fixed as part of the integrated panel design. They are positioned to offer broad coverage.
Is the installation difficult?
The installation involves connecting to existing water supplies and mounting the panel. Concealed pipework means professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended for best results and to avoid potential issues.
What happens if the water temperature suddenly changes?
The thermostatic temperature control is designed to prevent sudden changes. The anti-scald technology also ensures that if the hot water supply fails or becomes dangerously hot, the flow is automatically restricted for safety.
Troubleshooting
No water or low water flow
Ensure the main water supply is on. Check that the isolation valves (if present) are fully open. Verify that the system pressure meets the minimum requirements for high-pressure systems. Check for any blockages in the inlet hoses or filters.
Water temperature is inconsistent or too hot/cold
Confirm the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected. If using a combi boiler, check its settings and ensure it's firing correctly. Limescale build-up can also affect performance; descale the unit if necessary.
Anti-scald feature is not engaging
The anti-scald feature is typically integrated with the thermostatic control. If the temperature is dangerously high, the valve should automatically restrict flow. If you suspect this is not working, cease use immediately and contact a professional. Ensure the unit is correctly installed.
Leaks from the panel or connections
Check all connections, particularly where the flexible hoses attach to the water supply and the panel. Ensure seals and washers are present and correctly seated. If leaks persist, professional inspection and repair may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This shower panel is designed for high-pressure systems and is suitable for use with combi boiler systems. It requires rear wall-fed installation, meaning the hot and cold water supply lines should be accessible from behind the wall where the panel will be mounted.
Setup:
Installation involves connecting the flexible hoses (included, 22mm) to your existing hot and cold water supply points. Due to the concealed nature of the pipework, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure a secure and leak-free setup.
Care:
To maintain the sleek appearance and functionality of your shower panel:
- Wipe the panel regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish.
- For limescale build-up, use a mild descaling solution specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, following the product's instructions. Pay attention to the shower heads and jets.
- Periodically check the flexible hoses for any signs of wear or leaks.
