SITING OF THE SHOWER

The shower must not be positioned
where it will be subjected to freezing
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 Experience
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.
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.
Refer to fig.6 for the correct siting of the
shower. Position the shower unit vertically and
where it will NOT be in direct contact with
water from the shower head.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and
the shower to access the top cover screws.
Mark out entry points and routing of the water
and electric supplies into the shower.
IMPORTANT: If installing onto a tiled wall,
ALWAYS mount the unit on the surface of
the tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit. The unit
must be mounted on a flat surface which
covers the full width and length of the
backplate. It is important that the wall surface
is flat otherwise difficulty may be encountered
when fitting the cover and subsequent
operation of the unit may be impaired.
IMPORTANT: Water Regulations
It is required that the shower head be
'constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point
not less than 25mm above the spill-over level
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed
appliance'.
