Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your shower system.
Cleaning the Nozzles
The shower heads feature anti-clogging nozzles designed to prevent hard water buildup. To clean, simply rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any mineral deposits. This should be done periodically, especially in areas with hard water.
The anti-clogging nozzles are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance.
General Cleaning
Clean the exterior surfaces of the shower heads and hose with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hibbent shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles; water restrictor installed; low household water pressure. | Clean nozzles by rubbing them. Check if a water restrictor is installed (if applicable, remove it carefully). Consult a plumber if household water pressure is consistently low. |
| Leaks at Connections | Loose connections; missing or improperly seated washers; insufficient Teflon tape. | Turn off water supply. Tighten connections. Ensure washers are correctly placed. Apply more Teflon tape (at least 12 rounds) to threads. |
| Diverter Not Switching Properly | Mineral buildup; internal mechanism issue. | Flush the system by running water through all modes. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Rainfall Head Tilts or Wobbles | Loose connection to shower arm extension; heavy shower head on a weak arm. | Ensure the connection to the shower arm extension is tight. If using an older plastic shower arm, consider upgrading to a metal one for better support. |
