6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Ideal Standard shower system.

6.1. Cleaning the Hand Shower Nozzles

The hand shower features an anti-limescale system with easy-to-clean nozzles. To remove limescale buildup, simply rub the silicone nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. This should be done regularly, especially in hard water areas.

6.2. Cleaning the Chrome Finish

Clean the chrome surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing harsh chemicals, acids, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shower system, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Pressure: Check if the main water supply is fully open. Ensure the flexible hose is not kinked. Clean any potential blockages in the hand shower nozzles.
• Leaks from Connections: Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that rubber washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Do not overtighten.
• Difficulty Changing Spray Patterns: Ensure the Navigo button is pressed firmly. If limescale buildup is severe, clean the hand shower thoroughly as described in the Maintenance section.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Ideal Standard customer support or a qualified plumber.
