sand, or other contaminants in it, your pressure
balance valve will require periodic inspection.
The frequency of the inspection will depend on
the amount of contaminants in the water. To
inspect cartridge, remove it from the body and
shake it rigorously. If there is a rattling sound,
the unit is functional and can be reinstalled in its
previous position. If there is no rattle, replace the
cartridge with RP46463.
