Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your bath spout, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

| Reduced Water Flow | Limescale buildup in the nozzles. | Use Quick Clean technology: rub the silicone nozzles with your fingers to remove limescale. |
| Water Leaks from Connections | Loose connections or damaged seals. | Turn off water supply, check and tighten connections. Replace seals if necessary. If problem persists, contact a qualified plumber. |
| Spout Drips After Use | Residual water in the spout or an issue with the mixer valve. | A small amount of dripping is normal as water drains. If dripping is excessive or continuous, inspect the mixer valve (not part of the spout) or consult a plumber. |
