5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your shower system.
- Cleaning Nozzles: The rain shower head and body jets are equipped with silicone nozzles. To remove mineral buildup, simply rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth.
- General Cleaning: Clean the antique brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Water Filter: The body jets include a 360° rotation water filter. Periodically check and clean these filters to maintain spray quality.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: The pressure balancing valve is designed to prevent this. If temperature fluctuations occur, check your home's main water heater settings or consult a plumber.
- Low Water Pressure: Ensure all shut-off valves are fully open. Check for any blockages in the shower head or hose. Clean silicone nozzles as described in the Maintenance section.
- Leaks: Verify all connections are properly tightened and sealed with plumber's tape during installation. If leaks persist, inspect gaskets and O-rings for damage.
- Diverter Not Switching Functions: Ensure the diverter knob is fully turned to each position. If it feels stiff, gentle lubrication may be applied to the mechanism (consult a professional if unsure).
