VADO LIFE LIF-123T-CP, User Manual

Maintenance:

We advise that the below is carried out annually as failure to 

do so may result in invalidation of warranty.
Shut off the water supply to both hot and cold inlets, before 
commencing any maintenance work below. 

This thermostatic valve is fitted with a double filtering facility. 
Filters are fitted on the water inlets and on the thermostatic 
cartridge. Depending on the water quality, filters may become 
dirty, causing reduced flow and inefficient working of the valve.

Inlet filters

Undo both locking nuts at the back of the valve and detach from 
the wall (if maintaining wall mounted product) or the deck legs 
(if mounted to the bath). Remove the filter washer, and soak in 
descaling agent.

Thermostatic cartridge

To clean the filters, you must first remove the cartridge from 
the housing.

Removing the Cartridge

1. Shut off the water supply to both inlets at the isolating valves. 
Ensure the thermostatic valve has been successfully isolated.

2. Remove the temperature 

control handle by pulling 

off the screw cap on the 

underside of the temperature 

handle. Using a hexagonal 

key release the grub screw 

within the handle.  

Pull out the handle.

3. Unscrew the grub screw 

on the underside of the body 

and pull out the thermostatic 

cartridge.
4. 

Clean filters by rinsing them 

under running water to remove any debris.
5. If there is limescale deposits then it is recommended to 
immerse the cartridge for a few minutes in 50% white vinegar 
+ 50% hot water, brush the filters gently and then rinse under 
running water to clean all particles. If this is not effective, a 
replacement cartridge should be fitted.
6. Before reassembling the cartridge, clean its housing with 
a wet cloth and grease the ‘O’ rings using a suitable silicone 
grease, insert the thermostatic cartridge into the body aligning 
the hole in the body with the grub screw.
7. Screw the securing nut on and tighten using long-nose pliers, 
careful not to overtighten.
8. Place the temperature stop ring 
on the cartridge so the step is 
located at 1 o’clock.
9. Turn the water supply on.
10. Check the water temperature to 
ensure correct 

commissioning.
