Shower rail: What are the options for installing in a corner?
This video demonstrates the assembly steps for a corner mounting set.
Tile compensation: What is the purpose of the longish plastic disk that is included in the shower sets?
Not all bathrooms are fully tiled. As a result, in some cases it is necessary to offset the tile thickness. For bathrooms that are not fully tiled, the tile thickness can be offset with the tile compensation disk. The disk can be stacked if necessary.
Hand shower: Only a small amount of water is coming out compared to earlier. What can I do?
A dirty sealing screen can cause low flow performance. This video describes the cleaning process. The shower itself may also be calcified. This video demonstrates the correct procedure for descaling the shower.
Hand shower: Where on the bath tub should I install the holder?
The hand shower should be installed so that it can be reached without any problem. You should be able to wash your hair while sitting, without having to hold the hand shower.
Overhead shower: The gush spray is coming out of the shower unevenly. There is no longer an attractive spray pattern. What can I do?
Clean the opening for the gush spray, ideally using a plastic spatula. Turn on the water and pull the spatula right through the opening for the gush spray. Any particles that are dislodged will be immediately washed away.
Dripping: Water continues to run out of the tap or shower for a short time after use. What can I do?
When a mixer or shower is switched off, it is physically necessary for it to drip briefly. This is not a product fault that justifies the replacement of the mixer or a warranty claim.
Showerpipes: Can the riser pipe be shortened?
Depending on the model, riser pipes can be adapted on request to fit in with the room layout and shortened if necessary. In principle, round riser pipes can be shortened. You will find more information in the corresponding installation manual. Rectangular riser pipes come in various lengths. You will find the appropriate spare parts numbers for your product in the spare parts catalogue.
Sealing screen: What is the function of the seal or filter element between the shower hose and hand shower?
Sealing screens, which are included with each hand shower, cannot be replaced by normal seals. Otherwise dirt, which is filtered out in the filter screen, gets washed into the mechanics of the shower. This leads to the QuickClean cleaning function breaking down or the nozzles becoming clogged. This video demonstrates how to clean the sealing screen.
Unica'D: Can the replacement slide be installed even if you have an older shower rail?
Generally speaking, the replacement slide can be used with all Unica`D shower rails.
Showerpipe: How can I install this if the bathroom is not fully tiled? Is there a solution for this?
You can get a tile compensation disk for showerpipes, which gives 7 mm adjustment. You can find the appropriate article number in the relevant installation manual.
