Please check the following: .
• Filters; they may need cleaning*
• Thermostatic cartridge; it may need maintaining or re-calibrating*
• Hot water supply and pressure; it may be isolated or blocked further down the pipework
• Cold water pressure; it may not be balanced**
*Please watch the relevant 'How to' video for a detailed explanation of how to care for your VADO shower valve.
**If the cold water pressure is too high you will need to either fit a pump on the hot supply or a pressure reducing valve on the cold water supply. If you are doing the latter, please ensure the total pressure does not fall below the recommended minimum operating pressure for your product.
It is likely the hot and cold supplies into the shower valve are fitted the wrong way round. Hot should be on the left and cold on the right.
Please watch the relevant 'How to' video for a detailed explanation of how to remove, clean and replace the filters on your VADO shower valve.
Residual water can drain out by capillary action when the tap is turned off and should only last a few seconds, although sometimes this can occur a little while after shut-off, as the temperature of the tap cools to ambient. This is completely normal.
Please check the following:
• Is your water pressure equal to or higher than the minimum operating pressure of the tap or shower?
• If there are filters, flow regulators or aerators fitted to your tap or shower then please ensure they are rinsed clean of any debris

This is dependent on the thermostatic shower valve model. Generally, there should be a good temperature range from 20oC to 48oC
The minimum operating pressure for every VADO tap and shower is indicated on the individual product pages of this website and in our catalogues. Low pressure (LP) is 0.1 to 0.9 bar, medium pressure (MP) is 1.0 to 1.9 bar and high pressure (HP) is plus 2.0 bar. Please check your water pressure from both hot and cold feeds prior to choosing your product.
To lock out the diverter, pull the diverter knob out and twist clockwise. If this does not work then check there is sufficient water pressure to the shower mixer.
Please check the following:
• Check the non-return valves as they may need cleaning?*
• Is the water pressure from both hot and cold water supplies properly balanced?**
*Contact the VADO Aftersales department who will explain how to check and clean the non-return valves
