SITING OF THE SHOWER

The installation must be in accordance with 

Water Regulations/Bylaws - 

see page 7 for 

water specifications

•  If it is intended to operate the shower at 

pressures above the maximum or below the 
minimum stated, contact Customer Service 
for advice.

•  If the stated flow rates are not available,  

it may not be possible to achieve optimum 
performance from the unit throughout  
the year. The shower will continue to 
operate on a reduced heat setting if the 
running pressure falls to 

0.7 bar (1.2 bar 

for 10.5kW)

, there will be  a noticeable 

reduction in flow and temperature from the 
showerhead.

•  During periods of high ambient temperatures 

it may be necessary to select the economy 
power setting to achieve your preferred 
shower temperature.

Fig.5

 shows a typical system layout.

NOTE: 

The control knobs are an integral part of 

the cover. 

Do not attempt to remove them.

•  Refer to 

fig.6

 for the correct siting of the 

shower. Position the unit where it will 

NOT

 be in direct contact with water from 

the showerhead. Position the shower unit 
vertically.

•  Allow enough room between the ceiling and 

the shower to access the cover top screws.

•  Mark out entry points and routing of the 

water and electric supplies into the shower.
