Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause(s) | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| No flow or low flow rate | Partially closed isolation valve. | Open isolation valve. |
| Instantaneous water heater cycles on and off as flow rate or pressure is too low. | Increase water flow rate or pressure through system. | |
| Head of water is below the minimum distance required. | Refer to the Specification for the minimum working pressure/distance required. | |
| Hot or cold water being drawn off elsewhere causing pressure changes or instantaneous boiler temperature changes. | Do not use other water outlets when using the taps. | |
| Airlock or partial blockage in the supply pipework or hoses. | Flush through pipework to ensure removal of debris and any airlocks. | |
| Water supply failure | Water supply failure. | Investigate water supply. Check your plumbing and heating systems for any faults. |
| Water dripping from taps | This is normal for a short time after using the taps. If water continues to drip, possibly due to the ceramic disc valves/cartridge. | This is caused by residual water tension, the build up of water in the tap body. Refer to the Maintenance section or visit www.youtube.com/BristanTV to watch the procedure. |
| Taps do not turn on | Closed isolation valve. Mains water supply turned off. | Open isolation valve. Turn on mains water supply. |
| Wobbly Tap | Grub screws are not tight enough at the base. Extra security may be required depending on the surface the tap is fitted on to. | Ensure the grub screws are fully tightened against the base. Refer to the Alternative Installation steps to fit the Reinforcing Plate. |
