Q.  Water is dripping from the bottom of the  

shower unit.

A. Three possible reasons:

1.   The safety pressure relief device may have 

operated. Remove the showerhead and check 

that the water flows freely through the hose 

thus cleaning out the system. Once this has 

been carried out you will need to fit a new 

pressure relief device. Contact the service 

line on. 

2.  Check mains water connections.

3.   Clean the showerhead of any dirt and debris, 

and if necessary replace the showerhead 

and hose. Once this has been carried out you 

will need to fit a new pressure relief device. 

Contact the service line on. 

Q.  The filter or showerhead keeps blocking or filling 

up with solid materials.

A. After the initial installation no solid materials 

should remain in your cold water supply or the 

electric shower unit. Contact your plumber there 

is a problem in your water supply.

 

Q.  The shower hose or showerhead is damaged, 

leaking or otherwise unsatisfactory.

they will advise you of a suitable replacement.

and is no longer working.

A. Contact Customer Care on 0845 5052211 and 

they will advise you.

Q. Auto reset light comes on if fitted.

A. Temperature in the electric shower has 

exceeded the safe maximum, then the unit 

automatically shut down one or both of the 

elements. When a safe temperature returns  

the element turns back on.

Q.  Power setting will not remain on the setting I have 

selected.

A. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of 

scalding. This is most likely caused by a low 

water flow check all the solutions in “water too 

hot” Also see point 2.

Q. Phased shutdown light comes on if fitted. 

A. This is a feature of the shower when the power 

is turned off allowing cold water to flow through 

the unit for a few seconds to expunge the hot 

water and to cool the elements.

If the light remains on or comes on when the 

on off button has not been pressed contact
