5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VIGO Mateo Shower Panel System, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips. For more complex problems, consult a qualified plumber or contact VIGO customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure from Jets | Insufficient incoming water pressure (e.g., below 45 PSI). Mineral buildup in nozzles. | Verify household water pressure meets requirements. Clean silicone nozzles by rubbing them. Consult a plumber to assess and potentially increase water pressure. |
| Water Temperature Fluctuations | Thermostatic valve issue. Imbalance in hot/cold water supply pressure. | Ensure consistent hot and cold water supply pressure. If issues persist, the thermostatic valve may require inspection or replacement by a professional. |
| Leaks at Connections | Loose connections. Damaged O-rings or seals. | Turn off water supply. Carefully tighten connections. Inspect and replace any worn or damaged O-rings/seals. |
