5. Operating Instructions
The RBROHANT Gold Shower System features three handles for precise control over water temperature and flow.
- Water Temperature Control: Use the two outer handles to control the hot and cold water supply. Turn them to adjust the desired water temperature.
- Diverter Handle: The central handle acts as a diverter. Turn this handle to switch water flow between the main rain shower head and the handheld spray.
- Rain Shower Head: The 10-inch rain shower head utilizes Air-in technology to inject air into the water, providing a high-pressure, bubble-infused shower experience while conserving water.
- Handheld Spray: The separate wall supply elbow design allows the handheld sprayer to reach farther, offering flexibility for showering and cleaning the bathroom.

6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the brushed gold finish and ensure the long-term functionality of your shower system.
- Cleaning: Clean the shower system regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for brushed finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Mineral Deposits: For hard water areas, mineral deposits may accumulate on the shower head nozzles. Gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge any buildup. For stubborn deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used, but ensure to rinse thoroughly afterward.
- Leak Prevention: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
