Setup and Installation
Professional installation is highly recommended due to the complexity of this wall-mount system.
Pre-Installation Considerations
- This system is designed for new construction or remodeled bathrooms. Existing tile and plumbing may need significant modification.
- Ensure adequate wall space and structural support for all components.
- The shower arm length is critical. A 15.75-inch arm is recommended to prevent wall collisions and provide ample space.

Rough-in Valve Installation
The rough-in valve is the core of the system, controlling water flow and temperature. It features a copper main body, thermostatic valve core, and built-in check valves to prevent backflow.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Finish
- Clean the brushed gold finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn water spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
Nozzle Maintenance
- The rainfall shower head and body jets feature touch-clean nozzles. Periodically rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge mineral buildup.
- For more significant mineral deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used. Soak the affected parts if removable, or apply with a cloth. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; low household water pressure. | Clean nozzles by rubbing; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; consult a plumber for household pressure issues. |
| Water Temperature Fluctuations | Thermostatic valve issue; inconsistent hot/cold water supply. | Ensure thermostatic valve is set correctly; check household water heater settings; consult a plumber. |
