4.2 Temperature Control
The pressure-balance valve maintains a consistent water temperature, preventing sudden changes due to water pressure fluctuations. Turn the main handle to adjust the temperature. Turning the handle towards 'H' increases hot water, and towards 'C' increases cold water.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help keep your Votamuta shower system performing optimally and looking its best.

5.3 General Cleaning
Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues such as low water pressure, inconsistent temperature, or leaks, please refer to the following general advice:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the shower head nozzles are clogged with mineral deposits. Clean them as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure that the main water supply valves are fully open.
- Inconsistent Temperature: Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the rough-in valve. The pressure-balance valve is designed to prevent sudden temperature changes, but extreme fluctuations in household water pressure might still be noticeable.
- Leaks: Inspect all connections for tightness. Ensure that all seals and gaskets are properly seated. If leaks persist from the valve or internal components, professional assistance may be required.
