Maintenance
Touch-Clean Spray Holes:
The Delta shower head features soft rubber Touch-Clean spray holes. This innovative design allows you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with a simple touch of a finger. This eliminates the need for soaking or harsh chemical cleaners, keeping your shower head performing optimally and looking refreshed.

Corrosion-Resistant Finish:
The Matte Black finish of this Delta faucet is salt fog tested to withstand corrosive environments for over 12 hours, exceeding industry standards. This ensures the finish resists blistering, cracking, and peeling, maintaining its aesthetic appeal over time.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Delta Arvo shower faucet, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- Low Water Pressure: Check for mineral buildup in the spray holes (use Touch-Clean feature). Ensure the main water supply valve is fully open.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: The Monitor Pressure-Balanced Valve Cartridge is designed to prevent this. If issues persist, consult a professional plumber.
- Leaks: Inspect all connections for tightness. If leaks originate from within the valve, professional assistance may be required.
