Setup and Installation
The ETL BODYSPA RV CH Handheld Showerhead is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps to replace your existing showerhead:
- Prepare for Installation: Turn off the main water supply to your shower. Remove your old showerhead by unscrewing it counter-clockwise from the shower arm. Clean any old sealant or debris from the shower arm threads.
- Install Showerhead Holder: If replacing the holder, attach the new showerhead holder to the shower arm. Ensure it is securely tightened. Some holders may require drilling, refer to specific holder instructions if applicable.
- Connect Shower Hose: Attach one end of the shower hose to the showerhead holder and the other end to the handheld showerhead. Ensure rubber washers are properly seated in both connections to prevent leaks. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
- Place Showerhead: Insert the handheld showerhead into the holder.
- Test for Leaks: Turn the main water supply back on and check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ETL BODYSPA RV CH Handheld Showerhead.
- Cleaning the Finish: To clean the brushed finish, use a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Nozzles: Mineral deposits can accumulate on the spray nozzles over time. To clean, 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 applied with a soft cloth, then rinsed thoroughly.
- Hose Care: Periodically check the shower hose for kinks or damage. Clean the hose with mild soap and water.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Mineral buildup in nozzles; partially closed water valve; low household water pressure. | Clean showerhead nozzles (see Maintenance); ensure water valves are fully open; consult a plumber if household pressure is consistently low. |
| Leaks at Connections | Loose connections; missing or damaged rubber washers. | Tighten connections carefully; ensure rubber washers are correctly seated and undamaged. Replace washers if necessary. |
| Water Not Shutting Off Completely | Issue with shower valve (not the showerhead itself). | Inspect your shower's main valve. This issue is typically not related to the showerhead. |
