Setup: Installation Guide
Before beginning installation, ensure you have the necessary tools (adjustable wrench, plumber's tape) and that the water supply to your shower is turned off.
- Remove Old Shower Head: Unscrew your existing shower head from the shower arm. If it's difficult to remove, use an adjustable wrench.
- Clean Shower Arm Threads: Clean any debris or old plumber's tape from the shower arm threads.
- Apply Plumber's Tape: Wrap plumber's tape clockwise around the threads of the shower arm 3-4 times.
- Install New Shower Head: Screw the GROHE Tempesta Cosmopolitan 100 shower head onto the shower arm. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the connection. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or reapply plumber's tape.

Operating Instructions
Your GROHE Tempesta Cosmopolitan 100 shower head features four distinct spray patterns. To switch between these patterns, simply rotate the spray face of the shower head. Each click indicates a change to a new spray type.
- Rain O²: A soft, air-infused spray for a gentle and full shower.
- Rain: A wide, even spray that mimics natural rainfall.
- Massage: A pulsating spray designed to relieve tension.
- Jet: A focused, powerful spray for invigorating rinsing or cleaning.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure your shower head performs optimally and retains its aesthetic appeal.
- SpeedClean Anti-Lime System: The flexible silicone nozzles allow you to easily wipe away limescale deposits with your finger. This should be done regularly, especially in hard water areas.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the GROHE StarLight Chrome finish with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the chrome finish. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Flow Restrictor: The 2.5 GPM flow restrictor is designed for water efficiency. Do not attempt to remove or modify it, as this may void your warranty and could lead to excessive water consumption.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Limescale buildup in nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; low household water pressure. | Clean nozzles using SpeedClean system; ensure shut-off valve is fully open; consult a plumber if household pressure is consistently low. |
| Limescale Buildup | Hard water deposits on spray nozzles. | Regularly wipe the silicone nozzles to dislodge deposits. For stubborn buildup, use a mild descaling solution designed for bathroom fixtures. |
| Leaking Connections | Improperly tightened connection; worn plumber's tape. | Ensure the shower head is securely tightened to the shower arm. If necessary, remove, reapply plumber's tape, and re-install. |
