3. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure all necessary components are present and that the main water supply to your shower is turned off. Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended. If you are unsure about any steps, consult a professional plumber.

  1. Remove Existing Shower Head: Unscrew your current shower head and arm from the wall. Clean any old sealant or tape from the shower arm pipe.
  2. Apply Teflon Tape: Wrap Teflon tape (plumber's tape) clockwise around the threaded end of the existing shower arm pipe.
  3. Install Extension Arm: Screw the adjustable Z-shaped extension arm onto the threaded pipe. Hand-tighten first, then use the provided wrench to secure it, ensuring it is firm but not overtightened.
  4. Attach 3-Way Diverter: Connect the 3-way water diverter to the outlet of the extension arm. Ensure a washer is in place before tightening.
  5. Connect Rain Shower Head: Attach the 12-inch rain shower head to the top outlet of the 3-way diverter. Ensure a washer is in place and tighten securely.
  6. Connect Handheld Hose: Attach one end of the 60-inch shower hose to the side outlet of the 3-way diverter. Ensure a washer is in place and tighten.
  7. Attach Handheld Shower Head: Connect the handheld shower head to the other end of the 60-inch hose. Ensure a washer is in place and tighten.
  8. Mount Handheld Holder: Secure the handheld shower head holder to a desired location on the shower wall using the adhesive bracket provided. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying.
  9. Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections further or reapply Teflon tape.

4.4 Adjusting the Extension Arm

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your PinWin shower head system.

5.1 Cleaning Silicone Nozzles

The rain shower head and handheld shower head are equipped with touch-clean silicone nozzles. To remove mineral buildup and prevent clogging, simply rub your fingers across the nozzles periodically. This helps maintain consistent water flow.

5.2 General Cleaning

Clean the chrome finish with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Low Water Pressure: The handheld shower head is designed to provide powerful water pressure even in low-pressure environments. Ensure the diverter is fully engaged for the desired spray. Check for any clogs in the nozzles (refer to Maintenance section).
  • Leaks at Connections: Ensure all threaded connections are properly tightened. If leaks persist, disassemble the connection, reapply Teflon tape, and re-tighten. Verify that all washers are correctly seated.
  • Rain Shower Head Not Stable: Ensure the adjustment knobs on the Z-shaped extension arm are securely tightened after positioning. The reinforced design of the arm helps prevent rollover.
