Maintenance

It is recommended that you service a shower valve once every 12 – 18 months (12 months in hard water areas). A ‘service kit’ is available for most shower valves and allows for all perishable parts within the valve to be replaced.

Servicing of the valves should always be carried out in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.


Cleaning and Lubrication

All metal parts within the valve should be soaked in descalent and washed off with clean water. Examination of all seals should be carried out and replaced where necessary. The use of silicone based grease is essential on all seals and any moving parts to ensure smooth operation once re-assembly has been carried out.
