Troubleshooting
Low water pressure or flow rate
Ensure the water system meets the minimum 0.5 Bar operating pressure. Check for any blockages in the pipes, shower head, or handset. Verify that the isolation valves are fully open.
Inconsistent water temperature
Check that the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Ensure no other water outlets in the property are being used simultaneously, which can affect temperature stability. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
Water leaking from the valve or connections
Turn off the water supply immediately. Inspect all connections for tightness and integrity. Ensure appropriate sealant or tape has been used. If the leak persists, the valve may have an internal fault requiring professional attention.
Difficulty switching between shower functions
Check the diverter mechanism for smooth operation. Debris or limescale can sometimes impede the diverter. Attempt to clean the mechanism if accessible, or consult a professional.
