•
Lack of periodic maintenance, inspection and care of the product and its operation through
proper maintenance.Lack of proper care for the product when it is not used (e.g., leaving water
in the pipes during very low temperatures when the system is not used) or when it is used (e.g.,
connecting the product to the water supply lines where the pressure is not standard or where
water hardness or purity deviates from the standard).
•
Cleaning the exterior with abrasive or aggressive cleaning products containing acids, solvents,
chlorine, alcohol, etc.
•
Use of the product inconsistent with its purpose and applicable st andards. Repair done by
unauthorised person or using parts of foreign origin.
•
Incomplete installation, failing to use the relevant elements (such as gaskets, washers, filters
or other elements that constitute the whole of the system). Skipping additional sealing devices
(e.g.,Teflon tape).
•
Modifying the structure of the product, dismantling, alterations and improvements interfering
with the product structure by the user or other unauthorised persons.
•
Use of inappropriate tools which can damage the product, affect its design or components ,
which because of the damage will be sensitive to the impact of constant high pressure, which
may result in loss of tightness of the components leading to subsequent leakage and flooding.
•
FaiIure to gauge the location of the complete kit and its parts and to plan the preparation of
water supply lines. This is particularly important in systems installed flush with the wali, which
require the preparation of respective lines of water beneath the surface of the wali. To gauge
the location, measure the complete syst em, ensuring the mobility function of the system switch
(handle) and measure the depth to which the kit can be installed so that the decorative rosette
mounted on the tiles does not błock the switch. At the same t ime, provide access to parts in the
kit that are subject to wear and tear- the switch (handle) and the head and prevent their flooding
with the sealant that prevents free access to these parts.
•
When performing installation and connecting to the water supply, faiIure to provide access to
usable parts that are subject to wear and tear and the connecting hoses. Access to these parts
allows periodie maintenance of the system (leakage) and easy execution of complaint-related
tasks.
•
Unstable installation - this is essential for free-standing showers, columns and shower panels.
lnappropriate leveling and mounting result in overuse of connection elements which may start
leaking when exposed to high and persistent pressure.
•
FaiIure to carry out emergency repairs which cause progressive destruction of the product.
