Product Overview
Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and that the water supply is turned off. Professional installation is recommended.
Tools Required:
- Adjustable Wrench
- Plumber's Tape (Teflon Tape)
- Soft Cloth
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Connection: Ensure the existing shower arm or wall outlet is clean and free of debris. Wrap the threads of the shower arm or wall outlet with plumber's tape (2-3 wraps clockwise).
- Attach the Hose: Screw one end of the hand shower hose onto the prepared shower arm or wall outlet. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench to tighten an additional quarter to half turn. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Hand Shower: Screw the hand shower head onto the other end of the hose. Ensure the washer is properly seated inside the hose connection. Hand-tighten securely.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more or reapply plumber's tape.
- Mount the Holder (if applicable): If your setup includes a wall-mounted holder for the hand shower, follow its specific installation instructions to secure it to the wall at a convenient height.
Operating Instructions
The Phylrich Round Hand Shower is designed for ease of use and provides a comfortable showering experience.
Using Your Hand Shower:
- Water Flow: Turn on your shower's main water valve to initiate water flow to the hand shower.
- Temperature Control: Adjust the water temperature using your shower's mixing valve.
- Handheld Use: Remove the hand shower from its holder (if applicable) to use it as a handheld spray.
- Spray Settings: This model typically provides a single, consistent spray pattern. For models with multiple spray settings, rotate the spray face or a designated lever to cycle through options.
- Returning to Holder: After use, place the hand shower back into its holder securely.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the finish and performance of your Phylrich hand shower.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the hand shower regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the polished brass finish.
- Mineral Deposits: For hard water spots or mineral deposits, use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply with a soft cloth, let sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If spray nozzles become clogged, gently rub them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge mineral buildup.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles or mineral buildup. | Clean the spray nozzles by gently rubbing them. Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure main water supply is fully open. |
| Leaking at Connections | Loose connections or insufficient plumber's tape. | Tighten connections slightly. If leaking persists, disassemble, reapply plumber's tape, and reassemble. Ensure washers are properly seated. |
| Water Not Shutting Off Completely | Issue with the main shower valve, not the hand shower itself. | Inspect and service your main shower mixing valve. Consult a plumber if necessary. |
