Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower column.
- Daily Cleaning: To keep your shower column clean and shiny, we recommend wiping it with a microfiber cloth immediately after use.
- Limescale Prevention: You can also use a descaling cleaner with a microfiber cloth to prevent limescale deposits.
- Avoid Abrasives: It is strongly advised not to use abrasive products, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed gold finish.
- Anti-Limescale Nozzles: The hand shower and overhead shower head are equipped with anti-limescale nozzles for easy cleaning. Gently rub the silicone nozzles to dislodge any limescale buildup.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Essebagno Luisa shower column, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water pressure | Partially closed stopcock; clogged aerator/nozzles; pipe blockage. | Ensure stopcocks are fully open. Clean shower head and hand shower nozzles. Check for blockages in supply lines. |
| Water temperature inconsistent | Inconsistent hot/cold water supply; mixer cartridge issue. | Check household hot water supply. If problem persists, contact a qualified plumber to inspect or replace the mixer cartridge. |
| Leaks from connections | Loose connections; worn seals/washers. | Tighten connections carefully. Replace any damaged seals or washers. Do not overtighten. |
| Difficulty switching between outlets | Diverter mechanism stiff or faulty. | Apply a small amount of silicone grease to the diverter mechanism if accessible. If it remains stiff or faulty, professional inspection may be required. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
