Operation
The Moen Posi-Temp valve system is designed to maintain consistent water pressure and temperature. Once installed, the cartridge ensures that your shower maintains the desired temperature, preventing sudden fluctuations in hot or cold water, even when other water sources in the house are used.
Opretholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Moen Posi-Temp cartridge, periodic maintenance may be beneficial, especially in areas with hard water.
- Rensning: If you notice stiffness in the handle or reduced performance, mineral deposits (calcium and lime) may have accumulated. Disassemble the valve as per the removal instructions and clean the valve body and cartridge components with a suitable cleaner (e.g., CLR) and a soft cloth.
- Smøring: Reapply silicone lubricant to the cartridge seals during reassembly to ensure smooth operation.
- Regelmæssig kontrol: Periodically check for leaks around the handle or showerhead. Early detection can prevent further damage.
