5. Maintenance & Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Backnets Shower System. The system is built with durable brass and 304 stainless steel to resist cracking and leaking.
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain the brushed gold finish, clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. The soft silicone nozzles on the shower heads and body jets can be easily cleaned by gently rubbing them to remove limescale buildup.
5.2 Temperature Cartridge and Check Valve Removal
For advanced maintenance or repair, it may be necessary to remove the temperature cartridge and check valve. This procedure should ideally be performed by a qualified professional.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower system.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow or low pressure from a specific function (e.g., body jet). | Individual function button is off or partially engaged. Clogged nozzles. | Ensure the corresponding push-button is fully engaged. Clean the silicone nozzles by gently rubbing them to remove mineral deposits. |
| Inconsistent water temperature or anti-scald feature not working. | Thermostatic cartridge issue. Water supply pressure imbalance. | Ensure the thermostatic knob is correctly set. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need inspection or replacement (refer to Section 5.2). Consult a professional plumber for water pressure imbalance. |
| LED lights on rainfall head not working. | Insufficient water flow to power the LEDs. | Ensure adequate water pressure and flow. The LEDs are hydro-powered and do not require batteries. |
