  • General Cleaning
  • Bristan products are made from premium materials, with hand polishing and electroplated finishes.
  • Your taps or shower should be regularly cleaned with warm water, a mild pH-neutral liquid soap, and polished with a soft cloth. Any residues from soap, toothpaste, shampoos, and shower gels can cause blemishes if not rinsed off straight after use.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause Remedy

valve.
Instantaneous water heater cycles on and off as flow rate or pressure is too low.| Increase water flow rate or pressure through the system.

Airlock or partial blockage in the supply pipework.| Flush through pipework to ensure the removal of debris and any airlocks.
Water dripping from taps| This is normal for a short time after using the taps.| This is caused by residual water tension, the build-up of water in the tap body.

possibly due to the ceramic disc valves

| Remove valves and clean them, refer to the ‘Maintenance’ section before starting any maintenance.
