Operating Instructions
Water Temperature and Flow Control
The single handle on the shower valve controls both water temperature and flow. Rotate the handle to adjust temperature (typically counter-clockwise for hot, clockwise for cold) and lift/push to control water volume.
Switching Water Diverter
The 2-way diverter knob allows you to switch water flow between the rainfall shower head and the handheld shower. Rotate the knob to select your desired output.
The diverter knob allows easy switching between the rainfall shower and the handheld shower.

The 6 available spray patterns for the rainfall shower head include Waterfall, Stay-Warm Mist, Rainfall+Mist, Rainfall, Pellet, and Pause.
Handheld Shower Spray Patterns
The 5-inch handheld shower provides 9 versatile spray patterns. Adjust the spray by rotating the 7-zone click lever dial. A dedicated Power Jet Lever is also included for a concentrated stream.

The shower holder can be adjusted to direct the handheld shower spray as needed.
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 matte black finishes. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid cleaners containing abrasives, ammonia, bleach, or acid.
- Cleaning Nozzles: The shower heads feature easy-to-clean silicone nozzles. Periodically rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any mineral buildup. This helps maintain optimal spray performance.
- Hose Maintenance: Inspect the 59-inch stainless steel hose periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the hose with a soft cloth and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water pressure | Clogged nozzles or aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; low household water pressure. | Clean silicone nozzles by rubbing them. Check if shut-off valves are fully open. Consult a plumber if household pressure is consistently low. |
| Water leaks from connections | Loose connections; worn O-rings or gaskets; improper thread sealant. | Ensure all connections are tightened properly. Replace any damaged O-rings or gaskets. Reapply plumber's tape or sealant if necessary. |
| Water temperature fluctuates | Pressure balance cartridge issue; inconsistent hot/cold water supply. | Verify consistent hot and cold water supply to the valve. If the issue persists, the pressure balance cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
| Diverter not switching properly | Mineral buildup in diverter; faulty diverter mechanism. | Flush the system to remove debris. If the problem continues, the diverter may require professional servicing or replacement. |
