Setup and Installation
Installation of your Oxygenics PowerMax shower head is designed to be straightforward and can typically be completed in minutes with basic tools.
- Preparation: Ensure your existing shower arm is clean and free of debris. Remove any old shower head and clean the threads thoroughly.
- Thread Seal Tape: Apply thread seal tape (also known as plumber's tape, not included) clockwise around the threads of your shower arm. Wrap 3-5 times for a secure seal.
- Connect Hose to Shower Arm: Attach one end of the 72-inch stainless steel hose to the shower arm. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter turn. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads.
- Attach Shower Head to Hose: Connect the handheld shower head to the other end of the hose. Hand-tighten securely until snug.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and carefully check all connections for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten connections slightly. If leaks persist, reapply thread seal tape and re-tighten.
Operating Instructions
Your PowerMax shower head offers multiple spray settings and adjustable pressure for a customized shower experience.
- Changing Spray Patterns: To select a different spray pattern, rotate the spray face or the selector ring on the shower head. Cycle through the 9 available patterns, which include a powerful waterfall setting.
- Adjusting Water Pressure: Use the comfort control lever located on the handle of the shower head to quickly and easily adjust the water pressure to your desired level.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and performance of your Oxygenics PowerMax shower head.
- Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the shower head and hose, wipe with a soft cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Clog Prevention: The non-stick internal parts are specifically designed to prevent mineral buildup and clogging. If you notice reduced spray performance or uneven streams, gently rub the rubber nozzles on the spray face with your finger to dislodge any mineral deposits.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Water flow restrictor in place; mineral buildup in nozzles; insufficient main water supply. | Ensure the main water supply valve is fully open. Check for mineral buildup on nozzles and clean as described in the Maintenance section. If issues persist, consult a qualified plumber. |
| Leaks at Connections | Loose connection; insufficient or improperly applied thread seal tape. | Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then gently tightened with a wrench. If necessary, disassemble, clean threads, reapply thread seal tape, and reassemble. |
| Inconsistent Spray Pattern | Mineral buildup in individual nozzles. | Rub the rubber nozzles on the spray face to clear any blockages and restore even water flow. |
