6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Idealrain S3 Shower Head system.
- Chrome Finish: Clean the chrome-plated surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Nozzle Cleaning: The shower head nozzles are designed for easy cleaning. Periodically rub the silicone nozzles to dislodge any limescale buildup. For stubborn deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used. Soak the shower head (if detachable) or apply the solution to the nozzles, then rinse thoroughly.
- Hose Cleaning: Wipe down the shower hose with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the hose material.

- Low Water Pressure:

- Clean the shower head nozzles for limescale buildup (see Maintenance).
- Inspect the shower hose for kinks or damage.
- Leaking Connections:
- Ensure all connections are tightened securely.
- Check that rubber washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Replace if necessary.
