Setup and Installation
Installation of this shower system requires plumbing knowledge and may involve opening walls. It is highly recommended to hire a qualified professional plumber for installation to ensure proper function and compliance with local codes.
Pre-Installation Steps:

- Clear the installation area and protect surrounding surfaces.
- Ensure all necessary tools are available (e.g., pipe wrench, sealant, measuring tape, level).
Installation Overview:
The installation involves mounting the thermostatic valve within the wall, connecting the hot and cold water lines, and routing pipes to the main shower head, handheld shower, and six body jets. The trim kit is then installed over the valve and connections.

Operating Instructions
Your CASAINC shower system offers multiple functions for a customized showering experience.
Thermostatic Anti-Scald Setting:
The brass thermostatic shower valve automatically balances hot and cold water pressure to maintain a consistent temperature. The safety-lock design is preset to 38°C (100°F) to prevent accidental scalding. To exceed this temperature, press and hold the safety button on the temperature control knob while rotating it to a higher setting.

- Rainfall Shower Mode: Provides a wide, gentle rain-like spray from the large overhead shower head.
- Waterfall Shower Mode: Delivers a broad, cascading sheet of water from the overhead shower head.
- Handheld Spray: Offers three distinct spray patterns: Rain Shower, Massage, and a combination of Massage + Rain shower, selectable via a button on the handheld unit.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your shower system.
Cleaning:
- Clean the matte black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- The shower head and body jets feature soft silicone spray holes, making it easy to wipe away calcium and lime build-up with your finger or a soft brush.
- For stubborn water spots, use a mild soap solution or a vinegar-water mixture (1:1 ratio) and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
General Care:
- Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
- Ensure the shower hose is not kinked or twisted during use or storage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged spray nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; low household water pressure. | Clean silicone nozzles by rubbing them; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; consult a plumber for household water pressure issues. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Thermostatic valve malfunction; imbalanced hot/cold water supply. | Ensure hot and cold water supplies are stable; if problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Leaks from Connections | Loose connections; damaged seals. | Tighten connections carefully; inspect and replace any damaged seals or O-rings. |
| Water Not Draining from Shower Head | Air trapped in the shower head; minor residual water. | This is normal for large shower heads; ensure proper slope during installation. If excessive, check for blockages. |
If the issue persists after attempting these solutions, please contact CASAINC customer support.
