Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Backnets shower system.
- Cleaning Surfaces: Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner to clean the polished chrome and brass surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Nozzle Cleaning: The silicone nozzles on the rain shower head and body jets are designed for easy cleaning. Simply rub your finger across the nozzles to dislodge any mineral buildup.
- Hose Care: Periodically check the shower hose for any kinks or damage. Clean the hose with a soft cloth and mild cleaner.
- Temperature Control: If you notice issues with temperature regulation, it may indicate mineral buildup in the mixing valve cartridge. Consult a professional plumber for inspection and potential cleaning or replacement of the cUPC certified cartridge.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shower system, please refer to the following common problems and solutions. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
