Package Contents
Please check that all components are present before installation:
- Hibbent 10-inch Round Self-Cleaning Rain Shower Head
- Washers (including spares)
- PTFE tape (Teflon tape)
Setup and Installation
The Hibbent shower head is designed for tool-free installation and is compatible with standard G1/2 shower arms.
- Prepare for Installation: Turn off the main water supply to your shower. Remove your old shower head by unscrewing it counter-clockwise from the shower arm. Clean any residue from the shower arm threads.
- Apply PTFE Tape: Wrap the threads of your shower arm with PTFE tape (Teflon tape) 3-5 times clockwise. This helps create a watertight seal and prevents leaks.
- Attach the Shower Head: Ensure a washer is properly seated inside the connector of the new Hibbent shower head. Screw the new shower head onto the shower arm clockwise. Hand-tighten firmly. Avoid using tools to prevent damage.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks around the connection. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more by hand or reapply PTFE tape and re-install.

Operating Instructions
Using your Hibbent shower head is straightforward:
- Water Flow: Turn on your shower faucet to begin water flow. The shower head is designed to maximize water pressure for a powerful and invigorating rain shower experience.
- Adjusting the Angle: The shower head features a 360-degree adjustable ball joint. You can easily tilt and rotate the shower head to direct the water flow to your desired angle for personalized comfort.

Maintenance
The Hibbent shower head features an innovative self-cleaning mechanism to minimize limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas.
- Automatic Self-Cleaning: When water is turned on, the internal cleaning rod rises, allowing water to flow smoothly. When the water is turned off, the rod automatically retracts, expelling any accumulated limescale or debris from the water outlets. This process helps maintain clear nozzles and consistent water flow.
- Periodic Cleaning: For optimal performance and appearance, occasionally wipe the surface of the shower head with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water pressure | Partially clogged nozzles or low household water pressure. | Ensure the self-cleaning mechanism is functioning. If issues persist, check your home's water pressure. |
| Water dripping after turning off | Residual water in the shower head. | A small amount of dripping is normal as residual water drains. The self-cleaning mechanism helps clear the nozzles. |
| Leaks at the connection point | Loose connection or insufficient PTFE tape. | Turn off water supply, re-tighten the connection by hand, or reapply PTFE tape to the shower arm threads and re-install. Ensure the washer is correctly seated. |
| Nozzles appear clogged despite self-cleaning | Severe hard water buildup or debris. | While the self-cleaning feature is effective, in extremely hard water conditions, some manual cleaning might be necessary. Gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge mineral deposits. Consider a water softener for persistent issues. |
