The 10-inch rain shower head provides a wide, luxurious rainfall experience. It is designed to draw air into the water stream, creating larger, softer water droplets that mimic natural rain.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your shower column.

Cleaning the Finish:

• Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Nozzle Maintenance:

The rain shower head and handheld shower are equipped with Speed-Clean Silicone Nozzles. To remove mineral deposits or lime scale, simply wipe the nozzles with your fingertip. This helps prevent clogging and maintains optimal spray performance.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KIBI shower column, refer to the following common solutions:

• Low Water Pressure: Check if the main water supply valve is fully open. Inspect shower heads and nozzles for clogs and clean them as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure no kinks in the handheld shower hose.
• Water Leaks: Verify all connections are tightened properly. If leaks persist from the valve, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement. Contact customer support if necessary.
• Inconsistent Water Temperature: The pressure balance valve is designed to prevent sudden temperature changes. If temperature fluctuations occur, ensure both hot and cold water supplies are stable. If the issue persists, the pressure balancing cartridge may require service.
• Diverter Not Switching: Ensure the diverter knob is fully rotated to the desired position. If it feels stiff or does not switch completely, there may be an obstruction or an issue with the diverter mechanism.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact KIBI customer support.
