3. For unequal pressure systems ensure that a white rotor set is fitted.
4. The enclosed silicone grease pack is for use on the O ring and rotor seal surface.

Unlikely, the Venturi shower mixer was sold from 2002 – 2010 and had a 5 year warranty.
Yes, parts are still available for the Venturi mixer, which was sold from 2002 to 2010. Two configurations were available – with the outlet concealed or exposed, but unfortunately both had the tendency to seize. O-ring grease helps to lubricate the o-rings on the rotor. Due to the closing action of the rotor over time, the o-ring lube will remove itself from the o-ring causing the rotor to become stiff and possibly seize.
