WHAT TO DO IF THINGS GO WRONG (2) 

 

 

SELF HELP 

 

If the shower is not working satisfactorily, make the following checks before calling out the installer. 

Any one of these adjustments could restore the performance. 

 

System will not operate  Check that the mains electricity supply is switched on. 
Pump operates but no 
water is delivered 

Check water is available to both ports, and that all isolating valves are open. 
Check for an air-lock in the pump chamber. 

Water too COLD 

Turn Temperature Control Knob “B” anti-clockwise to a higher number on 

the temperature scale (Diagram 10). 
Check that hot water is available in the hot water cylinder. The ideal 
thermostat setting for the hot water storage cylinder is 60°C (140°F). 

Check that the HOT water isolating valve is open. 
If possible, reposition temperature limiting device so that more movement 
of knob “B” is allowed. 

Water too HOT 

Turn Temperature Control Knob “B” clockwise to a lower number on the 

temperature scale (Diagram 10). 
Check that the COLD water isolating valve is open. 

Spray pattern poor 

Clean the shower handset. Select an outer/inner spray pattern.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE 

 

If the previous “Self Help” checks fail to restore the performance, you should seek professional help. 

 

The person who installed the shower is probably the best one to investigate and correct it and is 

certainly the person to contact if you have had a problem in the guarantee period. 

 

The following additional checklist is provided for the benefit of the qualified service person. 

 

WARNING: SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY AT THE LOCAL ISOLATOR                                           

BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER TO MAKE CHECKS 

Pump operates but no 
water is delivered 

Check the inlet connections to the mixing chamber are piped correctly. 
Check that the shower and all pipe work are sited below the level of the 

cold water tank and that it is fully primed and is therefore not air-locked. 
(See commissioning procedure on page 7). 

Pump operates when 
motor is switched off 

Check for faulty potentiometer switch, located under knob “A” inside 
front cover. 

Switch should be open circuit when turned fully anti-clockwise. 

Water too hot 

Blockage in filter causing obstruction in water supply.                              
Check and clean (see page 11). 

Water too cold 

Blockage in filter causing obstruction in water supply.                                
Check and clean (see page 11). 

Poor temperature 

adjustment 

Check the hot and cold water supplies are delivered to the correct ports. 

Check that water is supplied to the shower unit at balanced pressures                  
(ie Hot and Cold water are supplied from the same header tank). 
Ensure cold water supply is not taken from mains. 

Unit does not prime 

Check that the shower and all pipe work are sited below the level of the 

cold water tank. 

Poor flow rate 

Check for any restrictions in the Ø15mm supply (reduced diameters even 
for short distances). 

Check that pressure is not being lost to other services in the dwelling. 
Check filter for obstructions in the water supply and clean if necessary.
