Maintenance
General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high quality finish and
should be treated with care to preserve
the visible surfaces. All surfaces will
wear if not cleaned correctly, the only safe
way to clean your mixer is to wipe with a
soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed
using washing up liquid. All bath cleaning
powders and liquids will damage the
surface of your fitting, even the non-
scratch cleaners.
Note:
Never use abrasive detergents or
disinfectants or those containing alcohol,
hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.
Bristan recommend E-cloth for
cleaning all of our bathroom
& kitchen products. Using
just water, E-cloth gives a
smear free, deep clean by breaking up
and holding dirt, which normal cloths
leave behind. Order through your Bristan
stockist (order code: ECLOTH).
Cartridge Maintenance
We advise that the shower valve is
regularly serviced in hard water areas to
maintain the flow of water (see Map of
Hard Water Regions in the UK on page 25).
Isolate both hot and cold water supplies to
the shower valve by either:
• Turning the water supply off at the
mains stopcock or
• Turning off the isolation valves to the
shower valve
1.
Remove the temperature control cover,
undo the screw, remove the handle and
plastic stop.
Important:
Take note of the positions of
the plastic stop and handle - they must be
refitted in the same positions.
2.
Unscrew the cartridge anti-clockwise
and remove from the valve body.
3.
Place the cartridge in a bowl and
carefully add hot water (just off the boil)
and vinegar to de-scale the cartridge.
Leave in the solution until the water has
cooled and rinse with clean water.
4.
Grease the seals with a silicon grease
supplied by Bristan (part number: SP-
495-0002) and carefully refit.
5.
Reset the maximum temperature and
refit the handle and cover.

Cleaning the Showerhead
Your Bristan showerhead has rub-clean
nozzles for easy cleaning. Simply rub
your fingers across the rubber spray jets
regularly and before you turn the shower
on to remove any scale or debris.
The hardness of the water in your area
will determine how often you should clean
your showerhead. Build up of scale in
particularly hard water areas combined
with constant use means you may need
to clean your showerhead once a week.
To ensure continued performance of
your shower the showerhead needs to be
regularly descaled.
