Setup and Installation
The AquaCare Magneton shower head is designed for easy, tool-free installation on any standard shower arm.
Step 1: Prepare for Installation
- Ensure your existing shower arm is clean and free of debris.
- Wrap the threads of your shower arm with the provided Teflon tape (plumber's tape) in a clockwise direction for a watertight seal.
Step 2: Install the Overhead Bracket
- Screw the angle-adjustable magnetic docking overhead bracket onto the shower arm. Hand-tighten firmly. Do not overtighten.
- Ensure the bracket is oriented correctly to allow the shower head to dock securely.
Step 3: Install the Shower Hose
- Attach the conical nut end of the 6 ft stainless steel shower hose to the overhead bracket. Hand-tighten.
- Attach the hexagonal nut end of the shower hose to the handheld shower head. Hand-tighten. Ensure washers are properly seated in both connections.
Step 4: Install the Low-Reach Wall Bracket (Optional)
The bonus low-reach wall bracket can be mounted instantly and securely on any smooth surface using its silicone adhesive back. Optional screws and anchors are included for a more permanent installation.
- Clean and dry the desired surface thoroughly.
- Peel off the protective backing from the silicone adhesive.
- Press the bracket firmly onto the surface for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before use.
- For screw installation, mark the desired location, drill pilot holes, insert anchors, and secure the bracket with screws.

Maintenance
Stay-Clean Nozzles
The AquaCare Magneton features revolutionary Stay-Clean nozzles made from a special material that resists grime and degradation. This material works continuously to keep nozzles clean and clog-free, ensuring consistent water pressure and a hygienic shower experience.
To maintain optimal performance, occasionally rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any mineral deposits that may accumulate over time. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish and the Stay-Clean material.

General Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the shower head and hose with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles or mineral buildup. | Rub the Stay-Clean nozzles to dislodge deposits. Ensure water supply is fully open. |
| Leaking Connections | Loose connections or worn washers. | Ensure all connections are hand-tightened. Check and replace washers if necessary. Reapply Teflon tape if needed. |
| Shower Head Not Docking Securely | Obstruction on magnetic surface or improper alignment. | Ensure magnetic surfaces on both the shower head and bracket are clean. Align the shower head directly with the bracket's magnetic area. |
