6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your shower head.
Cleaning the Shower Head
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the shower head with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
- Limescale Removal: The Hansa Basic Jet features anti-limescale technology. For stubborn limescale deposits, gently rub the silicone nozzles to dislodge mineral buildup.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a mild soap solution or a specialized bathroom cleaner designed for chrome finishes. Apply with a soft cloth, rinse thoroughly with water, and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based products) as these can damage the chrome finish and plastic components.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower head, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
