Setup and Installation Overview
Installation of the Delta Faucet 51549-SS ActivTouch Handheld Shower with Slide Bar typically involves mounting the slide bar to the wall and connecting the hand shower hose to your existing shower arm diverter or water supply. While specific steps are not provided here, general plumbing knowledge and tools are required. For optimal performance and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a qualified plumbing professional.
Ensure all connections are secure and watertight to prevent leaks. Test the system thoroughly after installation.
Operating Instructions
Adjusting Spray Settings
The ActivTouch hand shower features three spray-selection buttons, allowing you to easily switch between up to nine different spray settings. Rotate the dial on the showerhead or press the buttons to select your desired spray pattern.
Using the Pause Feature
To temporarily reduce water flow, activate the pause feature. This allows you to conserve water while performing tasks such as lathering or shaving, and the water will restart at the same temperature when the pause is disengaged.
Adjusting Hand Shower Height
The slide bar allows for easy height adjustment of the hand shower. Locate the adjustment lever or knob on the slide bar holder. Loosen it to move the hand shower up or down to your preferred height, then tighten to secure its position. This feature also allows the hand shower to function as a stationary shower if desired.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Spray Holes
The Delta ActivTouch hand shower is equipped with Touch-Clean spray holes. To remove mineral residue and build-up, simply wipe the soft rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. This eliminates the need for harsh chemical cleaners or prolonged soaking.
General Cleaning
For general cleaning of the stainless steel finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemicals that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Delta Faucet 51549-SS ActivTouch Handheld Shower, please consider the following general advice:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the spray holes are clear of mineral build-up (use the Touch-Clean feature). Ensure your main water supply is fully open.
- Leaks: Verify all connections are tightened properly. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.
- Difficulty Adjusting Height: Ensure the adjustment lever on the slide bar is fully loosened before attempting to move the hand shower.
