Troubleshooting:

Symptoms: Unstable temperature while using the shower.

Likely Causes: The wax thermostat element, which sits inside the thermostatic cartridge for Bathstore Metro exposed bath shower bar valve, might be broken.

Possible Solutions: This can be because of poor water quality or a spent thermostatic cartridge. Remove and replace the thermostatic cartridge.

Symptoms: Unstable water flow rate.

Likely Causes: Inadequate water pressure or clogging in the shower valve, thermostatic cartridge or flow cartridge.

Possible Solutions: It is recommended to check water pressure regularly as it can change over time. Also, the pressure of hot and cold water supplies must be equal. A pressure equalizing valve can be installed if this is a problem.
