7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your diverter.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemicals containing ammonia, bleach, or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.

- Internal Components: For internal component maintenance or replacement, it is recommended to contact a qualified plumber or the manufacturer's service center.
