TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This shower column is easy to install and can be connected to your standard plumbing.
Minimum Pressure : 2.8 bars (40 PSI).
Maximum Pressure : 5 bars (72.5 PSI).
Note: If the water pressure is over 5.5 bars (80 PSI) you will need to install a pressure reducer to the main valve. It should be set to
4 bars (58 PSI) for optimum results.
*Water consumption is less when there is a diverter
TEST DATA
Our columns have been subjected to pressure tests up to 8
bar (116 PSI). For your information. To ensure that the water
pressure in your home is adequate, you can test the pressure
by measuring the water low rate. In the kitchen turn on the cold
water faucet full blast. If you collect 5.5 L or more in 30 sec.,
your water pressure is probably too high and you should install
a water pressure reducer valve downstream of the main shut-
off.

INSTALLATION
1. During the installation manipulate the tools and shower column with
great care to avoid damages and scratches. Shut off the water at the
main before starting the installation.
2. Step 1 is to connect the shower head to the body of the
column. Simply pass the water supply through the hole and
then fix the head by means of 4 nuts and bolts supplied in
your assembly kit. Connect the shower head water supply
to the respective connector on the rough inside the column.
3. We recommend to install the column at 33” (83.8 cm) from the lever
handle (thermostatic valve) to the floor. Determine if the height is
suitable and appropriate for yourself and the other users.
4. Install the water lines at 30” (76.2 cm) from the floor and leave a
gap of 4“ (10.2 cm) between the hot and cold water line. Use 1/2“
diameter pipe with 90° 1/2“ male adaptor (adaptors not included).
5. On the back of the shower column, where the water supply line
comes out of the wall, it is important to seal the space between the
ceramic and the pipe with silicone to prevent water seepage into the
wall.
6. Install each wall bracket at the desired height. Use a pencil and a
leveller before drilling each hole, then install the two brackets. (your
wall structure may require additional anchors and screws.) Please
make sure the bottom brackets don’t interfere with the supply lines.
7. Connect the hot and cold flexible stainless steel hoses to the water
adaptors previously installed on your water supply line and slide
the shower column in place. Do not replace the flexibles for it will
automatically void your warranty.
8. Turn on the main water supply line and check carefully for leaks
*****Apply a few thin spots of lear silicone on each side
of the shower column to secure it in place.*****
Note :
Be careful not to squeeze the two stainless
steel flexible hoses during the repositioning so
as not to damage them or restrict the water flow.

HOW TO SET & USE YOUR NEW SHOWER
COLUMN
You can activate more than one function at the time, ex.;
body jets and rain shower. However the water pressure will
be reduced and the vigour of the jets will be affected.
From top to bottom :Turn the control to the left and the water
pressure will increase gradually up to the maximum, the first
handle controls the shower head, the second one controls
the body jets and the third one controls the handheld shower.
However, for all TS (tub & shower) models, the third handle
controls the water pressure and transfers the water to the
spout diverter, which allows you to fill the bathtub, to redirect
the water to your handheld shower or to test the water with
your foot.
TEMPERATURE PRESET
The temperature of the shower column is preset at 38°C
(100°F).
MAINTENANCE
To preserve the look and finish of your shower column, you
should dry the shower column after each use with a dry and
clean cloth. Do not leave any soap residue on the surface
of the shower column, it can contain acid and acid can burn
the rubber injector and the glass shelf. Never use abrasive
cream, powder cleaner or steel wool pad on the surface, it
can scratch the stainless steel and damage the finish .
HOW TO CLEAN THE JETS
Use a soft bathroom cleaner and a little toothbrush.
Spray cleaner directly on the jets and brush every little hole
then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
THERMOSTATIC CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE
The thermostatic cartridge is guaranteed against
manufacturing defects, but not against the accumulation
of lime caused by water. It is recommended to turn the
thermostatic handle completely to the left and to right on a
weekly basis to prevent the accumulation lime which can
cause the malfunction of the thermostatic cartridge. See the
troubleshooting section on page 5 to estimate the problem.
Please see our video on Youtube to follow the
instructions in order to maintain your thermostatic
cartridge.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM DIAGNOSTIC
Water temperature is not hot
enough.
1. Press on the push buton on the top of the thermostatic handle and
turn counterlockwise.
2. The water heater temperature is set at 60°C (140°F).
3. Make sure that there is no air in the water pipes.
Noise is coming from the water
line when the shower column is
in function.
1. Look for air pockets in your plumbing .
2. Look for upside-down “U” in all the pipes going to the shower, make
sure that they are not kinked or twited
Water temperature gets
increasingly colder.
The problem is probably coming from your water heater, try this little test:
Turn on the hot water faucet of the sink and see if the water is hot, if the
water is cold the problem is coming from the water heater. the tank may
be empty, wait 30 min and try the test again.
Cold water comes out when the
faucet is set on hot water.
Check the two stainless steel hoses at the back of the shower column, the
hot and cold are probably reversed.
The temperature is hard to
adjust when the thermostatic is
turned.
The thermostatic cartridge probably needs to be soaked in a deliming
solution. Please refer to the maintenance section on Page 5 of your
owner’s manual.
The water pressure is going
down gradually.
1. Verify the filtres in the gaskets at the water entry as well as on the
thermostatic cartridge.
2. Look for upside-down “U” in all the pipes going to the shower, make
sure that they are not kinked or twited.
