Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Delta Arvo shower system, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the main water supply valve is fully open. Inspect the shower head and handheld spray holes for mineral buildup and clean them using the Touch-Clean feature.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Ensure the Monitor Pressure-Balanced Valve Cartridge is correctly installed. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
- Leaks: Check all connections for tightness. If leaks occur from the shower head or handheld, ensure they are properly seated and that rubber gaskets are intact.
- Handheld Not Docking Securely: Ensure the handheld unit is correctly aligned with its magnetic dock. Clean any debris that might prevent a secure connection.
