6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your WELLFOR shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- Cleaning Shower Head Nozzles: Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the shower head nozzles. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any deposits. For stubborn buildup, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used.
- Hose Care: Periodically wipe down the stainless steel hose to prevent dirt and grime buildup.
- Leak Checks: Regularly inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
7. Troubleshooting

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
