4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install your new Oxygenics SmartShower Fixed Shower Head:

1. Prepare the Shower Arm: Ensure the main water supply to your shower is turned off. Remove your old shower head by turning it counter-clockwise. Clean any old sealant or debris from the shower arm threads.
2. Apply Teflon Tape: Wrap the threads of the shower arm with the provided Teflon tape. Wrap 3-4 times clockwise to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Attach the Shower Head: Carefully thread the Oxygenics SmartShower Fixed Shower Head onto the shower arm. Turn clockwise until hand-tight.
4. Final Tightening: Using a wrench, gently tighten the shower head an additional quarter turn. Avoid overtightening, especially if the connection point is plastic, to prevent cracking.
5. Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks around the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more or reapply Teflon tape.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, operating your Oxygenics SmartShower is straightforward:

• Simply turn on your shower's hot and cold water handles to your desired temperature.
• The SmartShower technology will automatically mix air into the water stream, providing a powerful, full-body spray.
• This model features a fixed spray pattern designed for consistent performance and water efficiency.

6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Oxygenics SmartShower Fixed Shower Head:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the shower head nozzles to remove any mineral deposits. Most deposits can be wiped away with a soft cloth. For stubborn buildup, use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish.
• Mineral Buildup Resistance: The design of the Oxygenics shower head helps resist mineral buildup and clogging. Regular cleaning will maintain this resistance.
• Clog Prevention: The limited lifetime performance warranty covers against clogging or failure, indicating the product's design for long-term, clog-free operation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your shower head, refer to the following common solutions:

• Low Water Pressure: If the water pressure feels lower than expected, first check if the main water supply valve is fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the shower hose (if applicable, though this is a fixed head). Clean the shower head nozzles for any mineral buildup that might be obstructing flow.
• Leaks at Connection Point: If water is leaking where the shower head connects to the shower arm, turn off the water supply, remove the shower head, reapply Teflon tape to the shower arm threads, and reattach the shower head, ensuring it is tightened appropriately (hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench).
• Cracked Connection: If the plastic connection point cracks during installation, it is likely due to overtightening. This component is designed to be durable but can be damaged by excessive force. Ensure careful tightening as described in the installation section.
