Maintenance

Cleaning the Finish:
- Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Shower Head Maintenance:
- Periodically clean the spray nozzles of the shower head to remove mineral deposits. Many shower heads feature flexible rubber nozzles that can be wiped clean with your finger.
- For stubborn deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used. Soak the shower head (if removable) or apply the solution with a cloth.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your tub and shower trim package, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged shower head nozzles; partially closed shut-off valves; low household water pressure. | Clean shower head nozzles. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Check main water supply pressure. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Pressure balance cartridge issue; water heater settings. | Verify water heater is functioning correctly. If problem persists, the pressure balance cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
| Leaks from Handle/Trim | Loose connections; worn O-rings or seals in the cartridge. | Ensure trim plate screws are snug. If leaking from the handle, the cartridge may need to be reseated or replaced. Consult a plumber. |
| Diverter Not Working | Mineral buildup; worn diverter mechanism. | Clean around the diverter knob. If the issue persists, the tub spout or diverter mechanism may need replacement. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Signature Hardware customer support or a qualified plumber.
