Final Testing
Check and test that each outlet function (hand shower, body jets and monsoon) work as expected by
rotating the DIVERTOR DIAL (top chrome dial).
Check the ON/OFF dial enables the water to be fully on or off in the position indicated on the valve
markings.
Check the Temperature can be increased and decreased by turning the lower chrome shower valve dial.
Test that the button can be pressed at 38 degrees to turn the dial to the hottest settings.
Check the water runs to the waste/plug effi ciently. A small amount remaining in the tray is normal.
FAULT FINDING
Water does not exit tray fast enough.
The tray must be leveled and a suitable ‘fall’ on the tray that enable the water to run to the plug.
Additionally, the waste hose (under the tray) should have suitable fall to allow water to exit quickly.
Water pressure / fl ow is low on some or all shower options.
Check all the hoses are not trapped or kinked and thus restricting fl ow. Check also that any washers are
not out of position and restricting fl ow. Ensure you have OVER 7.5 litres per minute fl ow and over 2 bar
water pressure.
Water is ‘pulsing’ .
If a pump has been used to supply water under pressure and the back jets, or hand shower cause the
pump to start and stop (PULSING WATER), remove the NON RETURN VALVES. Remove the Braided hoses
at the rear of the shower. Look inside the valve where the hoses connected and you will see a silver
coloured ‘C’ clip. Remove this and this will enable the NRV to be removed (white plastic item). Refi t the
hoses and re-test. Pulsing may also be noted where a pump has not been fully commissioned and there
is air in the system.
Doors do not meet correctly and or bind when opening or closing.
Adjust the door runner cam wheels correctly to enable smooth running and operation.
Water is leaking out of the shower.
Dry the shower fully. Once dry, turn on the shower and operate the functions and look for where the
water is leaking from. Apply sealant to the area where the water is leaking from.
T he shower temperature is low.
If the water in the rest of the house is at a suitable temperature, then you may need to replace the
thermostatic cartridge. Limescale or other dirt can impair the function of the cartridge.
