Note!
The shower control can accept temporary temperature excursions above 85°C
without damage, however operation at such elevated supply temperatures is not
recommended. For reasons of general safety, hot water storage temperatures should
ideally be maintained at between 60-65°C where serving ablutionary applications.
Flow Control:
Rada Exact-3 series shower controls have integral flow control; no other user-
operated flow controller should be used with this shower control.

control temperature. This can be corrected by reversing the position of the Thermostatic
cartridge within the control body, as described in
