7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the oil rubbed bronze finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Nozzles: The rain shower head, handheld shower, and body jets feature silicone nozzles. To remove mineral buildup (limescale), gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush. This helps maintain consistent water flow.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all connections for tightness and signs of leaks.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged nozzles, partially closed shut-off valves, debris in lines. | Clean silicone nozzles. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Flush water lines if debris is suspected. |
| Water Leaks | Loose connections, damaged O-rings/washers. | Tighten all connections. Inspect and replace any damaged O-rings or washers. Do not overtighten. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Pressure balance valve issue, hot/cold water supply imbalance. | Ensure hot and cold water supplies are balanced. If the problem persists, consult a plumber to inspect the pressure balance valve. |
| Diverter Not Switching Functions | Debris in diverter mechanism, worn diverter cartridge. | Flush the system. If the issue continues, the diverter cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact Dasan customer support.
