Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dasan shower system.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged showerhead nozzles; low household water pressure; partially closed shut-off valve. | Clean showerhead nozzles by rubbing them. Check main water supply valve. Consult a plumber if household pressure is consistently low. |
| Water Temperature Fluctuations | Pressure-balancing cartridge issue; insufficient hot water supply. | Ensure hot water heater is functioning correctly. If problem persists, the pressure-balancing cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
| Leaking from Showerhead/Handheld | Loose connections; worn washers/seals; damaged component. | Check and tighten all connections. Inspect washers and seals for wear and replace if necessary. If a component is damaged, contact customer support. |
| Water Hammer Noise | Sudden water flow changes; air in pipes. | The built-in check valve should prevent this. If noise occurs, ensure proper installation and check for air in the plumbing system. |
