ADVICE TO USERS

The following points will help you have a greater understanding of how your shower works: ***In order to avoid damage to your shower, switch off isolator between uses.***

The heating elements operate at a constant rate, dependent on your chosen power setting.
- The water temperature is achieved by adjusting the rate of water flow.
- The higher the water flow the lower the temperature and vice versa.
- The temperature of the water supplied from the mains can vary considerably throughout the year from 5 to 20°C.
- This means that in the winter, flow rate will be less than in the summer to achieve the same outlet temperature.
- In summer the ‘ECO’ power setting may give adequate hot water.
Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations.
- These can result from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on and off.
- When this happens your showering temperature will be held within a controlled band, provided that the minimum pressure required by the shower is maintained (see ‘plumbing’ page.5).
- If the water pressure falls below the minimum pressure required, it is likely that the pressure switch will turn off the power to the heating elements, resulting in a cold shower.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SHOWER

WARNING: ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON. DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER WHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECTED TO FREEZING CONDITIONS.

We recommend that the installation is done in the following sequence.

a. Fixing the shower to the wall (see note below)
b. Plumbing
c. Electrical connections

However, we recommend you determine the best configuration for your water inlet options before fixing the shower to the wall, as it may be easier to adjust/fit connections whilst unit is still ‘in-hand’.

FIXING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL

Position the riser rail at a convenient height for majority of users (fig.1) and mark its position (see fig.18 for accessory details).
Position the shower unit so that the shower handset cannot be immersed in the bath or shower tray when hanging down.
Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the possibility of distorting the backplate thus making the front cover a poor fit.
Adjust the position to get the most convenient arrangement taking the following into account.
- DO NOT MOUNT THE UNIT IN THE DIRECT HANDSET SPRAY.
- The handset must not be able to come into contact with used water in the cubicle, bath or basin. If it can, even after the hose has been retained by hose retainer (fig.18), a vacuum breaker must be fitted.
Fix the riser rail with screws provided (fig.18)
Remove the front cover by undoing the retaining screws at the top and bottom of the unit and lifting the cover off.
Decide the position of the electrical cable into the unit.
Your shower offers the ability to have the connections on the right side or the left (see fig.3).
If the top entries are chosen, remove the cable/pipe entry from fixing kit bag and cut away as shown (fig.4a).
If rear, bottom or side entries are chosen, remove the relevant cable/pipe entry from the detachable lower section as shown (fig.4b).
Your shower is provided with 6 x wall-fixing positions in the backplate (fig.20)
These have been especially designed to match a number of previous ‘Redring Showers’, as well as providing flexibility for new installations.
The 3 x top-fixing holes are a ‘key-hole’ slot design (‘k’ or ‘l’ fig.20), and the single most convenient should be marked and drilled first.
Tighten fixing screw with head protruding about 10mm from the wall and hook the backplate over the screw head. This allows for correct and accurate alignment of your shower before marking and fixing the bottom positions.
Mark and drill the other 2 x most convenient wall fixing slots (‘m’ fig.20), ensuring the slot in the detachable lower section is used.
Remove the detachable lower section by lifting away from the 2 x fixing posts/pegs (fig.2).
Tighten fixing screw in main shower, leaving the detachable lower section screw until later.
You may wish to leave both fixing screws loose at this stage, as the holes are elongated to allow for adjustment after other connections have taken place.

PLUMBING

WARNING:
ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW BEFORE CONTINUING INSTALLATION.

The shower unit must be connected to the mains cold water supply.
This must have a minimum supply running pressure of 100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum flow rate of 8 litres/minute*.
The maximum static supply pressure must be no greater than 1000kPa (10 bar, 150 psi).
* Minimum running pressure must be obtained at 9 litres/minute for 9.5kW.

WARNING:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE SHOWER, ENSURE THAT THE PIPE WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.

It is recommended that a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating valve is fitted to the incoming mains cold water before the shower unit.
This will allow the unit to be serviced or exchanged without having to turn off the water at the water stop valve.
Connect the mains water supply to the shower using Ø15mm copper pipe (BS.EN.1057) or Ø15mm plastic pipe (with insert). We recommend the use of copper olives.
If you choose to use a ‘push-fit’ connection rather than the compression elbow supplied (see fig.5 and details on page.8), DO NOT use stainless steel or chrome plated pipe work.
In multiple installations, calculate correct pipe work sizes to maintain adequate flow to each unit.
Showing Right Side Entry
Left Side Entry is available for all options by exchanging the fitted end cap (fig.7)
WATER INLET ENTRY OPTIONS (also see fig.5).
The pipe work can enter the shower unit from 8 x different positions.
Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Top Left, Top Right, Rear Left, Rear Right, Side Left or Side Right.
The shower unit has come fitted with a compression elbow (fig.5a).
This can be removed to provide an alternative Ø15mm straight shank connection point (fig.7).
If desired, an alternative Ø15mm ‘compression elbow’ (fig.5b), a Ø15mm ‘push-on elbow’ (fig.5e) or a Ø15mm ‘inline coupler’ (fig.5c/d) can then be used.
Remove the compression elbow supplied by un-clipping the spring-clip (fig.7), and use desired fitting accordingly.
Top or Bottom Right positions
The shower unit has come fitted with a compression elbow set for a Bottom Right entry.
To set it to a Top Right position, swivel the elbow as shown (fig.6) ensuring it is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction.
Top or Bottom Left positions
Pipe Entry can be converted to Left Top or Bottom by exchanging the fitted compression elbow and the fitted end cap.
Remove the fitted end cap supplied by prising the spring-clip to position shown (fig.8a), and pulling the fitting away from the inlet shaft.
Then replace with desired fitting and push the spring-clip back into position (fig.8b).
Ensure end cap is securely fitted to previous pipe entry.
Rear Entry positions
If Right Entry, swivel the fitted compression elbow to face a rear entry pipe connection.
If the pipe work entry is from the rear, ensure there is enough space left around the elbow for future servicing or alternatively access is possible from the rear.
If Left Entry, exchange the fitted compression elbow with the fitted end cap (fig.8a/b) and connect as Right Entry detail.
Alternatively treat as relevant Top Entry with an additional ‘Yorkshire’ elbow (soldered type) for fitting on the rear channel of the backplate (fig.5f)
Side Entry positions
If Right Entry, remove the compression elbow supplied (fig.7), and use desired fitting accordingly
If Left Entry, exchange the fitted compression elbow with the fitted end cap (fig.8a/b) and connect as Right Entry detail.
It is permissible to use a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved sealant sparingly, avoiding excess finding its way into the shower operating parts.
With the isolating valve connected, flush the pipe work through to remove any particles etc, before making the final connection to the shower.
Water way blockages (particularly in handset and filter) will prevent the unit working properly.
Note: You may be charged for a service call if it is due to incorrect installation.
The shower is designed to have an open outlet and should only be used with the manufacturers recommended fittings.
Do not connect the handset until the shower front cover and detachable lower section are fitted.

WARNING: DO NOT FIT A TAP ON THE SHOWER OUTLET. TAKE CARE TO AVOID RESTRICTING THE OUTLET OF THE PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICE.

Ensure that temperature knob has been correctly aligned by turning from minimum to maximum flow (approximately 1 full turn) mid position should be at approximately 1 o’clock.
COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE.
WARNING: BEFORE NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS ESSENTIAL THE FOLLOWING COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED CORRECTLY.
This procedure is to make sure the shower contains water before the heating elements are turned on This operation MUST be carried out WITH the flexible hose screwed to the shower outlet pipe with the sealing washer in place but WITHOUT THE SHOWER HANDSET ATTACHED.
Make sure the outlet of the flexible hose is directed to waste.
1. Before turning on the electric and mains water supplies to the shower, make sure the power select knob is at the ‘COLD’ position (fig.10) and check the temperature knob is turned fully anti-clockwise (fig.11).
2. Turn on the mains water supply to the shower at the isolating valve and then turn on the electric supply to the shower at the isolating switch.
3. Press Button ‘C’ (fig.13) and wait until water starts to flow from the flexible hose.
  It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to be obtained while air and any debris is flushed from the shower.
4. When a smooth flow of water is obtained, slowly rotate Temperature Selection Knob ‘B’ from Minimum to Maximum several times to release any air trapped within the unit.
5. Once flushing out has been completed, stop the water flow by pressing Button ‘C’.
  The shower is now ready for normal operation.
If you have not yet done so, assemble your ‘Smart-Fit Accessories’ (fig.18).
Fit the seal washer into the other shower hose nut and then fit the handset.
Operate the shower as in ‘How to operate your shower’ section, then please check:
1. That the water gets to a satisfactory temperature and water flow can be adjusted by the temperature knob ‘B’. Leave knob so that it delivers a comfortable showering temperature.
2. That the power select knob operates in all 3 positions.
3. Check again for leaks.
4. That the holes in the shower handset are not blocked.

DEMONSTRATE OPERATION TO USERS, AND LEAVE THIS BOOK WITH THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SHOWER

Switch on electricity supply to shower at local isolator.

Your shower has 2 control knobs and a push-button (fig.13).

Knob ‘A’ controls the 3 x power selection ‘HIGH’ ‘ECO’ ‘COLD’
Knob ‘B’ controls the water temperature.
Button ‘C’ starts and stops the shower.

TO START THE SHOWER

Press Button ‘C’ (fig.14) Water will start to flow.
The ‘Power’ light will illuminate.
Set your desired power setting Knob ‘A’, this is normally ‘HIGH’ (fig.15).
It is recommended that you do not wholly enter the water spray during this period, especially if the shower has just been used.
If the water is not at your desired showering temperature, turn Knob ‘B’ a small amount until the desired temperature is achieved.

Turn anti-clockwise for cooler (fig.16a) and Turn clockwise for warmer (fig.16b)

to_start_the_shower_of_redring_expressions_revive_plus_shower_spares.png

Allow about 20 seconds for the temperature of the water to stabilise.

Final adjustment may be anywhere on the scale. If after turning fully anti-clockwise, water is still too hot, adjust Knob ‘A’ to ‘ECO’ setting and re-adjust as previously
detailed. Water flow will be reduced on this setting.

TO STOP THE SHOWER

Press Button ‘C’ to Stop the shower (fig.17). Water will cease to flow and ‘Power’ light will go out.
Expressions Revive-Plus Models Please note that the water will continue flow for around six seconds to cool the shower for the next user.
Switch off the electricity at the ceiling switch or local isolator.
Once a temperature setting to your liking has been achieved, Knob ‘B’ will rarely need adjusting. You must however take into account required adjustments for variations of incoming mains water temperature between summer and winter (see ‘Advice to users’ on page.2).
- The ‘ECO’ setting of Knob ‘A’ reduces the power used by the shower giving a cooler shower or the option of reduced water flow. This option is mainly for summer usage and if this is used then Knob ‘B’, must be re-adjusted.
- The ‘COLD’ setting of Knob ‘A’ will supply water without any heating. During normal operation, if an overheated water temperature is sensed then the heating elements will be switched off.
- The ‘Power’ light will remain illuminated and water will continue to flow and cool down before the heater switches back on again as the heater automatically resets itself when water has been run through the shower for a few seconds.

ADJUSTING THE SHOWER HANDSET
To enhance your shower experience your shower has a multi-spray pattern handset and these patterns can be adjusted by simply rotating the sprayplate. Each mode is identified by a ‘click’.

WARNING:
DO NOT SWITCH THE SHOWER ON IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING FROZEN. WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT HAS THAWED OUT. DO NOT OPERATE THE SHOWER IF WATER IS DISCHARGED FROM THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED BEFORE IT CAN BE USED AGAIN. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO SUPERVISING THE YOUNG, ELDERLY AND THE INFIRM WHILST THEY USE THIS SHOWER.

To maintain the appearance of this fitting, ensure it is cleaned only using a clean soft damp cloth.
A solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary and then rinsed thoroughly. Abrasive cleaners or acidic cleaners MUST NOT BE USED under any circumstances.

Setup Guide

To set up and install the Redring Expressions Revive Plus Shower Spares, follow these steps:

Shut Off Water Supply: Ensure the water supply to the shower is turned off before starting the replacement process.
Disassemble Existing Parts: Carefully remove the old or damaged components. This may involve unscrewing hoses or removing mounting brackets.
Inspect and Clean Area: Clean the area where the new spares will be installed to ensure a secure fit and optimal performance.
Install New Spares: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the new spares. Typically, this involves screwing on hoses or attaching control valves.
Test the System: Turn on the water supply and test the shower to ensure all components are working correctly.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR SHOWER

It is recommended that the shower unit and accessories be cleaned using a soft cloth and that the use of abrasive or solvent based cleaning fluid be avoided, especially on any plated finishes.

We recommend that before any cleaning, the isolating switch be turned off, thus avoiding accidentally switching on the shower. All water contains particles of lime-scale, which build up in the shower handset and unit reducing the performance. It is therefore important to clean the shower handset by simply rubbing the rubber nozzles, or soaking in a proprietary lime-scale remover and rinsing thoroughly before use.

how_to_maintain_your_shower_redring_expressions_revive_plus_shower_spares.png

NOTE: After use it is normal for some water to drip from the shower handset for a few moments. This inhibits lime-scale build-up over prolonged use.

WARNING:

YOU MUST REGULARLY INSPECT THE SHOWER HOSE FOR WEAR AND DAMAGE AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY, OR EVERY 2 YEARS, WITH OUR APPROVED PART.

IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOWER, YOU MUST CLEAN THE SHOWER HANDSET REGULARLY. YOU MUST REGULARLY INSPECT THE HANDSET FOR WEAR AND DAMAGE AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY, WITH OUR APPROVED PART.

CLEANING THE FILTER

It is recommended that the filter is periodically cleaned in order to maintain the performance of the shower. It is essential that this operation is carried out by a competent person.

WARNING!
SWITCH OFF WATER SUPPLY AT THE MAINS BEFORE REMOVING FILTER.

The inlet filter is situated inside the water inlet fitting (fig.20).
To gain access there is no need to remove the front cover and backplate lower section.
Unscrew the filter body on the water inlet fitting (fig.19).
Remove the filter body and flush with clean water and then replace.
When cleaning the filter, DO NOT use a sharp object, as it will cause damage.
It is preferable to use an old toothbrush or similar
The metal filter mesh is best to be cleaned when it is on the body as shown.
Take care to re-position the filter correctly.

HOW YOUR SHOWER WORKS

Water is heated instantaneously as it flows over the heating elements in the heat exchanger (fig.20).
The heaters are only switched on when sufficient water is flowing.
This is done automatically with a switch which works on water pressure.
The water is turned on and off by the solenoid valve built into the shower.
This is switched on when Button ‘C’ is pressed.
The flow of water is automatically held at the level set by the user even though the supply pressure may vary (see ‘Advice to Users’).
If the water supply falls below a set limit, the pressure switch will operate and switch off the power to the elements, resulting in a cold shower (see ‘Advice to Users’ on page.2).
As a further safeguard, a thermal cut-out switches the power off if the water temperature climbs above the set limit.
This cut-out, which gives an audible click, may also operate due to residual heat when the shower is switched off.
It will reset itself if water is run through the shower for 10 to 20 seconds light will go out.
The pressure relief device is to safeguard against abnormal pressure conditions, and provides a level of appliance protection should an excessive build up of pressure occur within the shower.

Effect of Seasonal Incoming Water Temperature Changes

The required water temperature is achieved by adjusting the rate of water flow. The diagram shows the principle involved in relating temperature rise to flow rate. The higher the water rate the lower the temperature and vice versa.
The temperature of the water supplied from the mains can vary considerably throughout the year from 5 to 20°C.
This means that in the winter, flow rate will be less than in the summer to achieve the same outlet temperature.
In summer the ‘ECO’ power setting may give adequate hot water.

Effect of Other Water Devices on Incoming Water Supply

Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations. These can result from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on and off.

When this happens your showering temperature will be held within a controlled band, provided that the minimum pressure required by the shower is maintained. Your shower requires a minimum running supply pressure of 100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum flow rate of 8 litres/minute (9 litres/minute for 9.5kW). At pressures above 100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum flow rate of 8 litres/minute. (9 litres/minute for 9.5kW), it will minimise temperature fluctuations as detailed above.

If the water pressure falls below 100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum flow rate of 8 litres/minute, (9 litres/minute for 9.5kW), it is likely that the pressure switch will turn off the power to the heating elements, resulting in a cold shower.

Redring Expressions Revive Plus Shower Spares Troubleshooting

WHAT TO DO IF THINGS GO WRONG (1)

SELF HELP

If the shower is not working satisfactorily, make the following checks before calling out the installer. Any one of these adjustments could restore the performance.

Shower cycles from

HOT to COLD

The shower temperature is set too hot causing the thermal cut-out (safety device) to operate.

Turn Knob ‘B’ anti-clockwise to increase water flow.

Then slowly increase the water temperature by turning Knob ‘B’ clockwise until a comfortable showering temperature has been reached.

You MUST WAIT approximately 20 seconds for each adjustment to affect the water temperature.

‘ECO’ setting may need to be selected.

Water too HOT

Increase water flow by adjusting Knob ‘B’ anti-clockwise.

‘ECO’ setting may need to be selected.

Increase pressure to water supply. Fully open service valve/stop cock. Check hose is not kinked restricting the water flow.

Clean handset.

Check and clean filter if necessary.

Water too COLD

Decrease water flow by adjusting Knob ‘B’ clockwise.

‘HIGH’ setting may need to be selected.

Water takes longer to heat up

Thermal cut-out has operated after previous use (automatically resets when unit cools down). ‘HIGH’ setting may need to be selected.

Water goes cold whilst using

shower

Check water pressure has not fallen so far as to let the pressure switch cut out, e.g. another tap drawing water off.

Poor Spray

Clean the inlet filter.

Clean the shower handset.

Water continues to flow when

button ‘C’ pressed

This is normal on the Expressions Revive-Plus Models.

The shower includes a shutdown feature that means water will continue to flow for around 6 seconds after Button ‘C’ is pressed.
