Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Delta Arvo 14 Series Bathtub Shower Faucet Set, consider the following common solutions:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the main water supply is fully open. Inspect the shower head for mineral build-up and clean the spray holes using the Touch-Clean feature.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Ensure the Monitor Pressure-Balanced Valve Cartridge is correctly installed and functioning. If issues persist, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
- Leaks: Check all connections for tightness. If a leak occurs from the handle or spout, the internal O-rings or seals may need replacement.
- Diverter Malfunction: If water does not properly divert between the tub spout and shower head, inspect the diverter mechanism for obstructions or wear.
