4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing your handheld shower handle. Specific tools may vary.
- Preparation: Turn off the main water supply to your shower.
- Remove Old Shower Head (if applicable): Unscrew your existing shower head from the shower hose or arm by turning it counter-clockwise. You may need a wrench for stubborn connections.
- Clean Threads: Clean any old sealant or debris from the shower hose threads.
- Apply Plumber's Tape: Wrap plumber's tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around the threads of your shower hose connection point 3-4 times. This helps create a watertight seal.
- Attach New Shower Handle: Screw the Spirella AQUALINE Morea shower handle onto the shower hose threads by turning it clockwise. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Turn the main water supply back on and check for any leaks around the connection points. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or reapply plumber's tape.
5. Operating Instructions
The Spirella AQUALINE Morea 2JETS Shower Handle offers two distinct spray settings for a customized shower experience.
- Activating Spray Settings: To switch between the two spray patterns, gently rotate the showerhead face or a designated selector on the handle (if present). Refer to the product's physical design for the exact mechanism.
- Spray Pattern 1: Typically a standard, full-coverage spray for everyday rinsing.
- Spray Pattern 2: Often a more focused or pulsating spray for massage or targeted rinsing.
Adjust the water flow and temperature using your existing shower mixer or faucet controls.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and performance of your shower handle.
- General Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Nozzle Cleaning: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may accumulate in the spray nozzles. Many modern shower heads feature flexible rubber nozzles that can be cleaned by gently rubbing them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge deposits. For stubborn buildup, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be applied to the nozzles for a short period, then rinsed.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or bleach, as these can damage the chrome finish and internal components.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles or mineral buildup. | Clean the shower handle nozzles as described in the Maintenance section. Check if the main water supply valve is fully open. |
| Leaking at Connection Point | Loose connection or insufficient plumber's tape. | Ensure the connection is hand-tightened, then slightly tightened with a wrench. Reapply plumber's tape if necessary. Check for damaged washers and replace if found. |
| Difficulty Changing Spray Settings | Mineral buildup in the selector mechanism. | Clean the showerhead thoroughly, focusing on the area where spray settings are adjusted. |
