6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Dasan shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the matte black finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Nozzles: The shower head and handheld sprayer feature silicone nozzles that are easy to clean. Simply rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any mineral buildup.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water pressure from shower head/jets | Mineral buildup in nozzles; low household water pressure; partially closed shut-off valve. | Clean nozzles by rubbing them. Check main water supply valve. Consult a plumber to assess household water pressure. |
| No water from a specific outlet (e.g., handheld) | Diverter knob not fully engaged; blockage in the specific line. | Ensure the diverter knob is correctly rotated to the desired function. Check for kinks in the hose or blockages in the outlet. |
| Water temperature is incorrect (e.g., hot when set to cold) | Hot and cold water lines reversed during installation. | This indicates an incorrect plumbing connection. Contact a qualified plumber to correct the hot and cold water supply lines to the rough-in valve. |
| Leaking from connections | Loose connections; damaged O-rings or seals. | Gently tighten connections. If leaking persists, turn off water supply and inspect/replace O-rings or seals. Professional assistance may be required. |
If you are unable to resolve an issue, please contact customer support or a qualified plumber.
