4. Setup and Installation

This shower system is designed for easy installation without modifying existing in-wall plumbing.

4.1 Preparation

1. Turn off the main water supply to your shower.
2. Remove your existing shower head and arm. Clean the existing shower arm threads thoroughly.
3. Ensure the wall surface where the lower part of the column will be mounted is clean and dry.

4.2 Installation Steps

1. Attach the Brass Shower Arm: Apply Teflon tape to the threads of your existing shower arm. Screw the new brass shower arm onto the existing shower arm. Ensure it is tightened securely but do not overtighten.
2. Connect the Shower Column: The upper part of the brass shower column connects to the new brass shower arm. Ensure the connection is secure.
3. Mount the Lower Column Support:
   • Adhesive Method: Clean and dry the wall surface. Apply the provided 3M adhesive tape to the back of the lower column support bracket. Press firmly against the wall at the desired height, ensuring it is level. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure (typically 24 hours) before applying weight.
   • Screw Method: Mark the drilling points for the lower column support bracket. Drill pilot holes and insert wall anchors if necessary. Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws.
4. Attach Rain Shower Head: Screw the rain shower head onto the top of the shower column. Use Teflon tape on the threads for a watertight seal.
5. Connect Handheld Shower Hose: Connect one end of the stainless steel shower hose to the handheld shower head and the other end to the diverter valve on the shower column. Ensure washers are in place for a leak-free connection.
6. Place Handheld Shower Head: Insert the handheld shower head into its adjustable holder on the shower column.
7. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections gently.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Water Flow Diverter

The system features a two-way diverter valve located on the shower column, allowing you to switch between the rain shower head, the handheld shower head, or use both simultaneously.

• Rotate the diverter handle to select your desired water outlet.
• Typically, one position activates the rain shower, another activates the handheld shower, and an intermediate position allows both to operate.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Clean the shower heads and column regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
• For mineral deposits (limescale) on the shower nozzles, gently rub them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge the buildup.

6.2 General Care

• Periodically check all connections for tightness to prevent leaks.
• Ensure the shower hose is not kinked or twisted, which can reduce water flow and damage the hose.
