Operating Instructions
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The faucet features a single handle for controlling both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease it. Rotate the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
2-in-1 Water Mode Selection
Your ALEASHA freestanding tub faucet offers two distinct water modes: the waterfall spout and the handheld shower. A water diverter is integrated to allow quick switching between these modes.

- Waterfall Spout: Ideal for quickly filling your bathtub with a high flow rate of up to 6.74 GPM.
- Handheld Shower: Provides a directional spray, perfect for rinsing, cleaning, or assisting with bathing children or pets. The 59" (150 cm) stainless steel hose offers flexibility and reach.
360-Degree Swivel Spout
The faucet's spout can swivel 360 degrees, allowing you to easily adjust the water direction as needed for convenience and flexibility during use.

Ceramic Valve Care
The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic valve, tested for over 500,000 on/off cycles, ensuring smooth operation and leak-proof performance. Regular cleaning of the faucet exterior is generally sufficient for valve maintenance.
