Operating Instructions
Your Ryuwanku tub faucet offers both a main spout and a 2-function handheld shower.
- Main Spout Operation:
- Turn the main handle to control water flow and temperature. Push the handle back for cold water, pull forward for hot water.
- The gooseneck spout can rotate 360 degrees for flexible positioning.
- The aerator provides an air-injected water stream, reducing splash.
- Diverter Knob: Use the diverter knob located on the faucet body to switch water flow between the main tub spout and the handheld shower.
- Handheld Shower Operation:
- The handheld shower features two spray modes. Twist the body of the handheld shower to toggle between standard shower mode (Wide Rain) and high-pressure spray gun mode (Soft Mist).
- The handheld shower delivers a water flow of 2.8 GPM.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- Cleaning the Aerator: If water flow from the main spout decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse it under running water. Reinstall the aerator.
- Cleaning the Handheld Shower Nozzles: If spray patterns become irregular, gently rub the rubber nozzles on the handheld shower to dislodge mineral deposits. For stubborn clogs, soak the shower head in a solution of white vinegar and water.
- Checking for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow from spout or handheld shower. | Clogged aerator or shower nozzles; partially closed shut-off valves; kinked supply lines. | Clean the aerator and shower nozzles. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Check supply lines for kinks. |
| Leaks at connections. | Loose connections; worn O-rings or washers. | Tighten connections (do not overtighten). Replace O-rings or washers if damaged. |
| Water temperature is incorrect or inconsistent. | Improper hot/cold supply line connection; issue with water heater. | Verify hot and cold lines are connected correctly. Check water heater settings. |
| Diverter knob not switching properly. | Debris in diverter mechanism; worn diverter cartridge. | Flush the system. If problem persists, contact customer service for replacement parts. |
