will vary from season to season on any 
one setting of the temperature control, e.g. 
if you have chosen 'Medium' power for 
your preferred shower temperature in the 
Summer, you may have to increase that 
to 'Full' power during the Winter Months.

C. 

If for any reason there is a sudden rise 

in water temperature, the Aqua 9000 XP 
has thermal cut-out devices built-in.

D. 

Switch off immediately at the isolating 

switch if water ceases to flow. Contact 
Galaxy Customer Service for advice. 

If 

ever the water becomes too hot and you 
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that 
the sprayplate in the sprayhead is not 
blocked

.

DO NOT 

place items such as soap or 

Shampoo bottles on top of the unit. Liquid 
could seep through the joint between the 
cover and backplate, and possibly 
damage the sealing rubber.

Replacement parts can be ordered from 
Galaxy Customer Service..

Due to continuous improvement and 
Updating, specification may be altered 
Without prior notice.

REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 

EARTHED

The installation, supply cable and 
circuit protection must conform with 
IEE wiring regulations and be 
sufficient for the amperage required.

2.   

If you are installing a shower with a 

      kilowatt rating above 9kW, it is 
      advisable to contact the local 
      electricity supply company.

3.

   The electrical rating of the shower is 

      shown on the rating label 

(Fig.1) 

      

within the unit.

4.   

Before making any sort of electrical

      connection within the installation, 
      ensure that no terminal is live. If in 
      any doubt, switch off the whole 
      installation at the consumer unit.

5.   

The shower must be connected to its 

      own independent electrical circuit. 

      IT MUST NOT

 be connected to a ring 

      main, spur, socket outlet, lighting 
      circuit or cooker circuit.

6.   

The electrical supply must be 

      adequate for the loading of the unit 
      and existing circuits.

7.   

Check your consumer unit (main fuse 

      box) has a main switch rating of 80A 
      or above and that it has a spare fuse 
      way which will take the fuse or mcb 
      necessary for the shower.

8.   

If your consumer unit has a rating 

      below 80A or if there is no spare fuse 
      way, then the installation will not be 
      straight forward and may require a 
      New consumer unit serving the house 
      or just the shower.

9.

   You will need to contact the local 

      electricity company. They will check 
      the circuit and carry out what is 
      necessary. They will also check the 
      main bonding.

10. 

The earth continuity conductor of the

      electrical installation must be 
      effectively connected electrically to all 
      exposed metal parts of other

The following notes are for guidance only:

The shower must only be connected

‘High’

 setting

 

(Double Solid Red Symbol):

           Is maximum power setting which 
           Allows the highest flow achievable 
           for your preferred temperature. 
           Temperature adjustment at this 
           setting is via the temperature 
           control.

To adjust the shower temperature

The shower temperature is altered by 
increasing or decreasing the flow rate of 
the water through the shower via the 
temperature control

 (Fig.19b)

.

After obtaining your preferred shower
temperature, the number can be 
remembered as the normal setting and 
should only need to be altered to 
compensate for seasonal changes in 
ambient water temperatures.

           NOTE: 

To decrease the shower 

           temperature.

           Turn the temperature control anti-
           clockwise towards the

           To increase the shower 
           temperature.

           Turn the temperature control 
           clockwise towards the higher 
           numbers; this will decrease the
           water flow.

CAUTION: Be certain the showering
temperature is satisfactory by testing 
with your hand before stepping under 
the sprayhead. There will always be a 
time delay of ten to fifteen seconds 
between selecting a flow rate and the 
water reaching the stable temperature 
for that flow rate.

It is recommended that persons who 
may have difficulty understanding or 
operating the shower controls should 
not be left unattended whilst 
showering. Special consideration 
should be given to young children and 
the less able bodied.

Power on indicator (Fig.20)

The Blue power neon will light when the 
start/stop button is pressed. This indicates 
that power is on to the pump and power 
Selector.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS

Low water pressure cut-out

Should the water pressure fall below the
minimum required to operate the shower, 
power will be switched off to the heating 
elements preventing any maintained 
temperature rises.

Overheat cut-out

During normal operation if an overheat
temperature is sensed, power to the 
elements will be reduced. Water will 
continue to flow. When the temperature 
has cooled sufficiently, power to
the elements will be automatically 
restored to the previous setting at the time 
of interruption.

Safety cut-out

The unit is fitted with a non re-settable
over-temperature safety device. In the 
event of abnormal operation which could 
cause unsafe temperatures within the unit, 
the device will disconnect the heating 
elements. It will require a visit from a 
qualified engineer to determine the
nature of the fault and replace the safety
