Setup and Installation
Tools Required: Adjustable wrench, thread sealant (Teflon tape).
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the main water supply to your shower.
- Remove Old Shower Head: Unscrew the existing shower head from the shower arm. You may need an adjustable wrench for this step. Turn counter-clockwise.
- Clean Shower Arm Threads: Clean any old thread sealant or debris from the shower arm threads.
- Apply Thread Sealant: Wrap the threads of the shower arm with thread sealant (Teflon tape) 3-4 times in a clockwise direction. This helps prevent leaks.
- Install New Shower Head: Screw the LASCO 08-2387 shower head onto the shower arm by hand, turning clockwise until snug.

Operating Instructions
The LASCO 08-2387 Shower Head features three distinct spray functions:
- Function 1: Full Spray - Provides a wide, consistent water flow for general showering.
- Function 2: Massage Spray - Delivers a pulsating, invigorating stream.
- Function 3: Combination Spray - Blends the full spray and massage functions for a unique experience.
To switch between functions, simply rotate the outer ring or face of the shower head in either direction until the desired spray pattern is achieved.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and appearance of your shower head.
- Cleaning: Clean the shower head regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Mineral Deposit Removal: If mineral deposits (limescale) accumulate on the nozzles, they can be gently scrubbed with a soft brush or soaked in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. For stubborn deposits, you may need to remove the shower head and soak it completely in the vinegar solution for several hours before rinsing thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Mineral buildup in nozzles; partially closed water valve; low household water pressure. | Clean nozzles as described in Maintenance section; ensure shower valve is fully open; consult a plumber if household pressure is consistently low. |
| Leaking at Connection Point | Insufficient thread sealant; loose connection. | Turn off water, remove shower head, reapply thread sealant, and re-tighten connection. |
| Difficulty Changing Spray Settings | Mineral buildup preventing rotation. | Clean the shower head, focusing on the rotating mechanism, using a vinegar solution if necessary. |
