Questions and answers
Re., Bristan, RIO 2, RO2 SHXAR C, The problem is, Getting either too Hot or too Cold water. But no mixture of hot and cold water discharge. The Mixer is connected, looking at shower wall, as, Hot Water outlet feed, from left to left port of the Mixer and the Right hand water outlet connected to left port of the Mixer. BUT * with shower hose outlet on THE TOP OF Mixer. * Q. would connecting the shower Mixer upside down, I,e, NOW with shower hose outlet at the bottom of the Mixer, would this install cure above mentioned problem? i.e. Get hot and cold discharging as per temperature controlling levers movements,? Thanks. R. Thakker Email, tandt520@yahoo.com Tel. 01323 520520
