FAQs

Is this shower suitable for a gravity-fed system?

Yes, this thermostatic mixer shower is suitable for all water systems, including gravity-fed systems. However, performance in low-pressure systems will be subject to the flow rates specified for lower bar pressures.

How do I adjust the temperature on this shower?

The shower features an exposed bar mixer valve with controls on each end. One control is for temperature adjustment, allowing you to turn it to your desired level. The other control manages the flow rate.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The shower comes with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer, providing peace of mind for your purchase.

Can I change the shower head to a different size?

While the main drencher head is fixed at 200mm, the handset can be adjusted. If you wish to change the overhead head, ensure any replacement is compatible with the riser rail and water pressure system.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Gently wipe the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution or a specialized cleaner for brushed brass can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

What is the pipe centre measurement for installation?

The required pipe centre size for installation of the bar mixer valve is 150mm.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check if the inlet filters are blocked. Verify that your water system is providing adequate and stable pressure.

Low water flow from the shower head or handset.

Check for blockages in the shower head, handset, or hoses. Ensure the flow control on the mixer valve is fully open. Inspect your home's main water pressure; low pressure may affect flow rates.

Leaking from the valve or connections.

Tighten connections carefully. If leaks persist, the internal seals or cartridges may need replacement. Contact a plumber if unsure.

Brushed brass finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. For stubborn marks, use a specialized cleaner for brushed brass finishes and rinse thoroughly.
