WARNING:  DO NOT USE THE UNIT IF YOU THINK IT MAY BE FROZEN,  

                     AS THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE UNIT. 

                     WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THAT IT HAS COMPLETELY  

                     THAWED OUT BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON. 

 

Basin

 

 

 

Check that the power is switched on at the mains isolator switch. 

 

 

Turn on the hot water tap 

FULLY

.  If you do not turn the tap on fully, you will find that the 

temperature of the water will vary.  The hot water temperature will have been set using the 
service valve (diagram 5). See “Selecting my power level” section   

 

 

If the unit has been used recently, run the water through for a few seconds to let the 

temperature settle down, we advise you DO NOT enter the water flow during this time.                                                                                                             

WARNING:  YOU MAY INITIALLY GET A SHORT BURST OF VERY HOT 

 

                          WATER FROM THE UNIT.

 

 

 

If a second tap connected to the unit is also turned on, the hot water will be shared between the 

two and so the flow will drop. 

 

 

When you have finished do not switch off the power if you are going to use the unit again shortly  

 

Shower 

 

 

Check that the power is switched on at the mains local isolator switch. 

 

 

Turn on the hot (or “flow”) tap 

FULLY

 (diagram 9).  Ensure unit is set to “High” setting. 

 

 

If the unit has been used recently, run the water through for approximately 20 seconds to let the 
temperature settle down, we advise you DO NOT enter the water flow during this time.                                                                                                             

 

 

WARNING:  YOU MAY INITIALLY GET A SHORT BURST OF 

 

                           VERY HOT WATER FROM THE UNIT.

 

 

 

Turn on the cold (or “temperature”) tap, if necessary, to adjust the temperature of the water. 

 

 

Make sure that no other outlets connected to the unit are used whilst you are in the shower, or 

the water flow will drop suddenly. 

 

 

When you have finished do not switch off the power if you are going to use the unit again shortly  

 

 

It is important to clean the shower handset regularly (see page 11). 

 

 

In order for the Powerstream-Eco to function correctly, the “Redring Mixer Kit” must be used.                           

The kit, Cat No. 85-793620, comes complete with full accessories including a 3 position                        
multi-function shower handset. 

 

SELECTING POWER LEVEL 

 

The Powerstream-Eco has four power levels to choose from changing these allows the level of heat 

to be changed in discreet steps.  The user can set these easily by rotating the central knob to the 
desired setting (see diagram 8).  In general, the lower the power level is the lower the flow rate will 
be, to achieve the same temperature.  The control can be set up using the High setting and then the 

temperature reduced by selecting a lower power level i.e. Set unit up for showering and then select 
Eco/medium when using the unit to wash your hands.  
 

CAUTION:

 The flow switch built into the Powerstream-Eco will switch off the heat if the flow rate is 

set too low.  This will be indicated by the neon light going out.
