6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GROHE shower system, regular maintenance is recommended.

- SpeedClean Nozzles: The shower head and hand shower are equipped with SpeedClean nozzles. To remove limescale residue, simply wipe the nozzles with your fingertip. This should be done regularly to maintain spray performance.
- Hose Care: Periodically check the shower hose for kinks or damage. Clean the hose with a soft cloth.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the main water supply is fully open. Ensure the SpeedClean nozzles are free of limescale. Verify that the diverter is fully engaged for the desired shower outlet.
- Leaks: Inspect all connections for tightness. Ensure gaskets and O-rings are properly seated and not damaged. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.
- Diverter Malfunction: If the diverter does not switch properly, check for any obstructions or debris. Ensure it is fully rotated to the desired position.
