Fixed head
The angle of the fixed shower head can be adjusted. The shower head
is mounted on a multi directional ball joint to allow for minor angular
adjustment in any direction by carefully holding the shower head and
moving the head to the desired angle.
N.B. Do not force the angle of the head beyond its natural stopping point.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Symptom
Possible Cause
Remedy
No flow or low
flow rate and/
or varying
temperatures.
Check shower head, hose and filters
for any blockage.
Clean as necessary. Refer to General
Maintenance section (page 33).
Partially closed stop or service valve
in water supply pipework to the
shower valve.
Open stop or service valve.
Instantaneous water heater cycles on
and off as the flow rate or pressure
is too low.
Increase water flow rate or pressure
through system. Contact the boiler
manufacturer.
Head of water is below the minimum
distance required.
Raise the cistern or fit a shower
booster pump.
Hot or cold water being drawn off
elsewhere causing pressure changes
or instantaneous boiler temperature
changes.
Do not use other water outlets when
using the shower.
Make sure the maintained inlet
pressures are nominally balanced and
sufficient.
Refer to Water Supply Requirements
(page 4).
Airlock or partial blockage of the
pipework (gravity supply only).
Flush through pipework to ensure
removal of debris and any airlocks.
No hot or cold water reaching the
shower valve.
Check hot and cold feeds (the valve
will shut down if either the hot or
cold supply fails).
Shower head is set to ECO mode.
Refer to page 37 of this guide.
Only hot or cold
water from the
shower valve
outlet.
Partially closed stop or service valve
in water supply pipework to the
shower valve.
Open stop or service valve.
Inlet filter is partially blocked.
Clean as necessary. Refer to General
Maintenance section (page 33).
Inlet water supplies are reversed (hot
to cold supply).
Check the connections are the
correct way round. Hot on the left
and cold on the right when viewed
from the front. Rework pipework as
necessary.
Water leaking
from shower
head.
This is normal for a short time after
turning off.
Adjust angle of shower head as
necessary to vary draining time.
Clean shower head.
