- Cartridge Maintenance: If you experience issues with water temperature or flow, the pressure balance cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Consult a professional plumber for this service.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; low household water pressure. | Clean shower head/hand spray nozzles. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Consult a plumber for household water pressure issues. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Pressure balance cartridge issue; hot/cold water supply imbalance. | Check water heater settings. If problem persists, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
| Leaks from Connections | Loose connections; damaged O-rings or seals. | Tighten connections. Inspect and replace O-rings or seals if damaged. Use plumber's tape on threaded connections. |
