Safety Information

Please observe the following safety guidelines during installation and use:

• Ensure water supply is turned off before beginning installation to prevent leaks or water damage.
• Do not overtighten connections, as this may damage threads or components.
• Use only hand-tightening for most connections; a wrench may be used gently if necessary, but avoid excessive force.
• Keep small parts away from children.

Installation Instructions

The SparkPod shower head is designed for tool-free installation. Follow these steps for a quick setup:

1. Prepare the Shower Arm: Ensure your existing shower arm is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old shower head, unscrew it from the shower arm.
2. Apply Plumber's Tape: Wrap the included plumber's tape clockwise around the threads of your shower arm 3-5 times. This helps create a watertight seal.
3. Attach the Shower Head: Screw the SparkPod shower head onto the taped shower arm threads. Hand-tighten until snug. Avoid using tools if possible, as overtightening can cause damage.
4. Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more or reapply plumber's tape.

Flow Restrictor Information:

Your shower head comes with a 1.8 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) flow restrictor pre-installed for water efficiency. A 2.5 GPM flow restrictor is also included for those desiring higher flow rates. To change or remove the flow restrictor:

• Unscrew the shower head from the shower arm.
• Locate the flow restrictor inside the shower head's connection point. It is typically a small colored disc.
• Carefully remove the existing restrictor using small pliers or tweezers.
• Insert the desired flow restrictor (or leave it out for maximum flow, if local regulations permit) and reattach the shower head following the installation steps above.

Operating Instructions

The SparkPod shower head offers three distinct spray settings:

• Rain Mode: Provides a wide, gentle coverage, simulating natural rainfall.
• Pulsating Massage Mode: Delivers a focused, invigorating spray for muscle relief.
• Rain + Massage Mode: Combines both spray patterns for a comprehensive and relaxing experience.

To switch between spray settings, gently rotate the outer ring of the shower head. The settings will click into place as you turn it.

Adjusting the Angle:

The shower head features a brass swivel ball joint, allowing you to adjust the spray angle to your preference. Simply tilt the shower head to direct the water flow.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your SparkPod shower head.

• Cleaning Nozzles: The anti-clog nozzles are designed to resist mineral buildup. If you notice reduced water flow or uneven spray, gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any mineral deposits.
• General Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shower head with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.
• Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For stubborn mineral buildup, you can unscrew the shower head and soak it in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few hours, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.
