Maintenance
Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and appearance of your Speakman shower head.
Cleaning Instructions
- Exterior Cleaning: Clean the polished chrome finish with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.
- Nozzle Cleaning: The shower head features self-cleaning plungers designed to resist hard-water buildup and sediment. If you notice reduced spray performance, gently rub the rubber nozzles on the faceplate to dislodge any mineral deposits.
- Hose Cleaning: Wipe down the metal hose with a damp cloth to remove any soap scum or residue.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower head, refer to the following common solutions:
- Low Water Pressure:
- Ensure the main water supply valve is fully open.
- Check for kinks or obstructions in the shower hose.
- Clean the shower head nozzles as described in the Maintenance section.
- Verify that the flow restrictor (if present and removable) is not excessively limiting flow. Consult local plumbing codes before modifying any flow restrictors.
- Leaking Connections:
- Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a quarter turn if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
- Confirm that PTFE thread seal tape was applied correctly to the shower arm threads.
- Check that rubber washers are properly seated in all hose connections.
- Inconsistent Spray Pattern:
- Clean the shower head nozzles to remove any mineral buildup that might be obstructing individual spray holes.
- Rotate the faceplate fully through all settings to ensure the Anystream mechanism is moving freely.
