Customer Guidelines

  • To ensure uninterrupted pressure of water, it is advisable to keep the pipelines straight with minimum number of bends, which will support smooth flow of water.
  • All the supply lines must have vent pipes. These vent pipes help in removing air-locking in the water supply to give a smooth flow of water from the fittings.
  • Use 25 mm pipeline rather than 20 mm which will help in overcoming scaling inside the pipelines and will allow sufficient space for the water to flow.
  • Recommended water pressure should be between 2.5 bar to 3 bar
  • Prior to plastering or fixing tiles, test the working of all the installed concealed fittings on a high pressure to check for leakage insert, if any.
  • Clean the aerators provided in the items at regular intervals for a perfect foam flow of water from the fittings.
  • Place the outlet point in the overhead tank at least 25 cm above the ground level of the tank. This prevents the flow of foreign particles, sand etc., along with water supply into the fittings and thereby prevents the possible damage to the working parts. Clean the tank thoroughly before the supply starts. It is suggested that the overhead tank must be cleaned at regular intervals to avoid inflow of foreign particles.
  • Clean the fittings regularly with normal soap or chalk powder to remove scaling or stains. Do not use strong detergents as this may cause damage to the chromium finish used on all Flowcet products.
  • Do not use harsh cleaning agents containing abrasives and acid. Instead, use a soft sponge or wet cloth with soapy water or diluted vinegar to protect the colour coated finish.
  • To protect the fine finish of fittings from dirt, stains and other damages during construction, cover them with cloth or polypack after their installation, till they come into actual use.
  • Buy Flowcet products from company’s Authorised Dealers only to ensure genuine quality material.
  • Insist on genuine spares from company’s Local Service Centre or its Authorised Stockist in case of any repair or replacement.
  • Look for Flowcet logo on all Flowcet products.
  • For any type of technical or service assistance, please contact the nearest Flowcet branch Office, Area Representative or Dealer.
  • In case of conflict of opinion, the final decision should be vested with Flowcet Industries LLP.
