12 Instructions for Storm bath/shower mixer diverter replacement Step 1. Remove the shower hose attachment from the diverter valve on the bath / shower mixer. Next remove the diverter handle. Do this by placing a flat head screwdriver into the base of the diverter valve on the underside of the spout (to stop it spinning whilst you unscrew the handle) [Figure 1]. Unscrew the diverter handle by turning anti-clockwise [Figure 2]. Figure 1 Figure 2 Step 2. Using a 12mm Allen key unscrew the diverter valve by turning anti-clockwise [Figure 3].

15 Instructions for fixing drip issue on Reef, Bora & Aero basin mixers In most cases it s unlikely the valve component has failed. If the basin mixer is being used in a hard water area it s likely a build-up of limescale or damaged O-rings have caused the basin mixer to drip. Service valves on Bora basin mixer: 1. Shut off the water supply to the tap you are working on. 2. Unscrew the handle assembly by rotating the collar anti-clockwise. 3. Using a 17mm socket wrench or spanner loosen the valve by turning anti-clockwise. The valves can be tightly screwed in so take care not to damage the tap or basin. 4. Remove the valve and inspect the O-ring for damage. Clean it and the valve body. A wire brush maybe useful if a lot of limescale has built up on the valve. Also check the rubber seal on the base of the valve (colour coded for hot and cold). Clean this and make sure it has a flat surface. Page 11

16 Instructions for fixing drip issue on Reef, Bora & Aero basin mixers 6. Using tap grease (available from plumbers merchants) grease the O-rings and threads before re-installing the valves. 7. Re-fit the handles, turn the water supply back on and test the tap. Page 12
