Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to properly install your Westbrass F730-62 diverter bracket:

1. Ensure the water supply to your shower is turned off before beginning installation.
2. Unscrew your existing shower head or diverter from the wall-mounted shower arm.
3. Apply plumber's tape to the threads of your wall-mounted shower arm.
4. Screw the Westbrass F730-62 diverter bracket onto the wall-mounted shower arm. The universal 1/2 inch threaded gauge ensures compatibility with standard shower arms. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure, being careful not to overtighten.
5. Connect your handheld shower hose to the appropriate outlet on the diverter bracket.
6. Turn on the water supply and flush the system with hot water for one minute to clear any air or debris.
7. Check for leaks at all connection points. If leaks occur, tighten connections slightly or reapply plumber's tape.

Operation

The Westbrass F730-62 diverter bracket offers both filtered water delivery and a powerful massage spray function.

• Filtered Water Delivery: Water flows through the internal HHF filter, reducing impurities before reaching your handheld shower head.
• Jet Massage Spray System: The bracket features a separate jetted spray system designed to provide a powerful massage. This spray targets the shoulders and back for muscle relief.
• Mode Selection: A dial located on the right side of the unit allows you to switch between three distinct modes for the massage spray. Rotate the dial to select your desired spray pattern.

Maintenance and Filter Replacement

Regular maintenance, particularly filter replacement, is crucial for optimal performance and water quality.

Filter Replacement Schedule

The HHF filter cartridge should be replaced every six (6) months, or after 10,000 gallons of use, or if you notice a significant discoloration of the filter media. Timely replacement ensures continued filtration effectiveness.

Filter Cartridge Details

The HHF filter provides triple-action filtration:

• Layer One (PP Cotton Filter): Removes micro mud, rust, and impurities larger than 5 microns.
• Layer Two (Activated Carbon Filter): Reduces scale build-up, chlorine, heavy metals, and organic substances.
• Layer Three (Medical Stone Filter): Removes chlorine and impurities, organic matter, and miscellaneous bacteria, while releasing beneficial natural minerals.

Replacing the Filter Cartridge

1. Turn off the water supply to the shower.
2. Carefully unscrew the end cap of the diverter bracket where the filter is housed.
3. Remove the old filter cartridge.
4. Insert the new HHF replacement filter unit (compatible with Westbrass models: SCH900F, F730, HSF731, HSF6701).
5. Screw the end cap back on securely.
6. Turn on the water supply and flush with hot water for one minute before use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Westbrass F730-62, consider the following:

• Reduced Water Flow: Check if the filter cartridge needs replacement. A clogged filter can restrict water flow. Ensure all connections are tight and free of obstructions.
• Leaks: Verify that all threaded connections are properly sealed with plumber's tape and tightened securely. Do not overtighten.
• No Massage Spray: Ensure the mode selection dial is correctly positioned for a spray mode and not in an off or diverted position.
• Poor Filtration: If water quality does not improve, ensure the filter cartridge is correctly installed and has not exceeded its lifespan (6 months or 10,000 gallons).
