Why is only hot or cold water coming from my Bristan Kitchen & Bath Fixtures shower valve?
- J
  Joshua LopezJul 28, 2025
  This issue may arise if the inlet water supplies are reversed, meaning the hot water is connected to the cold supply and vice versa. Ensure that the connections are correctly oriented, with hot water on the left and cold water on the right when viewed from the front. Correct the pipework as needed. Another potential cause is a partially blocked inlet filter. Clean or replace the filter and flush the pipework before refitting.

Why is the water temperature too cold in my Bristan Kitchen & Bath Fixtures, even at the maximum setting?

  This could be because the hot water temperature is less than 110°C above the required blend temperature. Try adjusting the hot water temperature or wait for the water to reheat if a stored system is in use. Another reason might be that an instantaneous water heater isn't igniting due to a low water flow rate. Increase the water flow through the system and check the cartridge inlet filters, cleaning or replacing them as needed. Finally, if the instantaneous water heater isn't igniting due to low water pressure, increase the water pressure through the system.
