| Problem | Likely cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | Water too cool | Max temp stop set too low | Adjust stop (requires removing dial) | | Temperature fluctuates | Pressure difference between hot/cold | Ensure both inlet pressures are balanced | | No water flow | Debris in valve or supply filters | Clean inlet filters (requires disassembly) | | Diverter stuck | Limescale | Descale via shower head (run vinegar water through system) |
Before using the unit, ensure the following safety measures are observed to prevent injury or damage to the unit:
The Caraflo V200 is a thermostatic mixer shower designed for built-in or exposed valve installations. It maintains stable water temperature even when other taps are used, preventing scalding or sudden cold shocks. caraflo v200 shower instructions
