2. Installation Instructions
Installation of the Delta ProClean Handheld Shower Head is designed for ease and can typically be completed in minutes without specialized tools. Follow these steps for a secure and leak-free setup:
- Prepare the Shower Arm: Ensure the existing shower arm is clean and free of debris. Apply plumber's tape (not included) clockwise around the threads of the shower arm to create a watertight seal.
- Attach the Shower Arm Mount: Screw the shower arm mount onto the threaded end of the shower arm. Hand-tighten until snug. Do not overtighten.
- Connect the Hose: Attach one end of the shower hose to the shower arm mount and the other end to the handheld shower head. Hand-tighten both connections securely.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten connections slightly or reapply plumber's tape.

- Massage Spray: A focused, pulsating spray for muscle relaxation.

4. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Delta ProClean Handheld Shower Head, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Touch-Clean Spray Holes: The shower head features soft rubber Touch-Clean spray holes. Mineral residue (calcium and lime buildup) can be easily wiped away with a finger or soft cloth, eliminating the need for chemical cleaners or soaking.
- Regular Cleaning: Use the ProClean spray regularly to rinse down shower walls and surfaces. This can help reduce soap scum buildup over time.
- General Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shower head and hose with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Delta ProClean Handheld Shower Head, consider the following common solutions:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the water supply valve is fully open. Ensure the shower head is free from mineral buildup by cleaning the Touch-Clean spray holes.
- Leaking Connections: Hand-tighten all connections. If leaks persist, disassemble, reapply plumber's tape to the threads, and reassemble. Ensure washers are properly seated.
- Difficulty Changing Spray Settings: Ensure the dial on the shower head face is clean and free of debris. Rotate firmly to engage different settings.
