Operating Instructions
Your Votamuta shower system offers two distinct water outlet modes: rainfall shower and handheld shower.
- Water Temperature Control: Use the hot water handle and cold water handle on the main faucet body to adjust the water temperature to your preference.
- Mode Selection: The system features a diverter switch to select between the rainfall shower head and the handheld sprayer. Turn the diverter knob to direct water flow to your desired outlet. Both modes operate separately.
- Rainfall Shower Head: The 8-inch rainfall shower head provides a wide, gentle water flow. It features a 360° horizontal swivel and 15° up and down adjustment for optimal positioning.
- Handheld Shower: The handheld sprayer offers focused water delivery and can be adjusted in height along the shower bar for user convenience.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: To clean the oil-rubbed bronze finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Cleaning Shower Nozzles: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate in the shower head and handheld sprayer nozzles. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup. For stubborn deposits, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be used, applied with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
- Checking Connections: Periodically check all connections for leaks. Tighten any loose connections carefully to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged shower nozzles; partially closed water supply valve; mineral buildup in pipes. | Clean shower nozzles as described in Maintenance. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. Consult a plumber if mineral buildup in pipes is suspected. |
| Leaks from Connections | Loose connections; worn washers/seals. | Tighten connections carefully. Replace any damaged washers or seals. Ensure plumber's tape was used during installation. |
| Diverter Not Switching Properly | Mineral buildup in diverter mechanism. | Flush the system by running water through both outlets. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required. |
| Finish Discoloration/Peeling | Use of abrasive cleaners; harsh chemicals; prolonged exposure to standing water. | Refer to Maintenance section for proper cleaning instructions. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. Ensure the product is wiped dry after use. |
