4.2 Thermostatic Valve Installation
The thermostatic valve is the core of the system, controlling water temperature and flow to all outlets.
- Turn off the main water supply before starting any plumbing work.
- Install the valve body securely within the wall, ensuring it is level and at the correct depth as indicated in the dimension diagram (Figure 4.1).
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the valve body (typically marked H for Hot and C for Cold).
- Connect the outlet lines from the valve to the respective shower components: 16-inch rainfall head, 6-inch wall-mounted head, 6 body jets, and handheld shower.
- Once all connections are made and tested for leaks, install the trim plate and control handles.

- Rainfall Shower Head: Securely mount the 16-inch rainfall shower head to the ceiling connection point. Ensure the connection is watertight. This head features 360° rotation for angle adjustment.
- Wall-Mounted Shower Head: Attach the 6-inch shower head to its wall-mounted arm. This head also offers 360° rotation.
- Body Jets: Install the 6 body jets at desired heights and positions on the wall, connecting them to their dedicated water lines from the valve.
- Handheld Shower: Mount the handheld shower holder at a convenient height and connect the 59-inch stainless steel hose to the handheld unit and the wall outlet.

5. Operating Instructions
Your Dasan shower system offers precise control over water temperature and multiple spray functions.
5.1 Thermostatic Temperature Control
- The bottom knob on the valve controls the water temperature. It is factory-set to a safe 38°C (100°F).
- To adjust the temperature, press the safety button on the knob and rotate it to your desired setting. Rotate clockwise for cooler water and counter-clockwise for warmer water.
- The thermostatic valve maintains a consistent water temperature, preventing sudden changes and ensuring comfort and safety.

5.2 4-Function Diverter Control
The four upper knobs on the valve control the individual shower functions. Each knob can be turned ON or OFF independently.
- Knob 1 (Top): Controls the 16-inch Rainfall Shower Head.
- Knob 2: Controls the 6-inch Wall-Mounted Shower Head.
- Knob 3: Controls the 6 Body Jets.
- Knob 4 (Bottom): Controls the Handheld Shower.
You can use any single function, or activate multiple functions simultaneously for a customized showering experience.

5.3 Air Injection Technology
The rainfall shower head incorporates air injection technology, which mixes air with water to create a softer, more voluminous spray. This enhances the showering experience by providing a gentle yet thorough rinse without the stinging sensation of straight water jets.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dasan shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: The electroplated surface and glazed finish are designed to resist fingerprints and water stains. Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Nozzles: The silicone nozzles on the shower heads and body jets are designed for easy cleaning. If mineral deposits accumulate, gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge them.
- Thermostatic Cartridge: In areas with hard water, the thermostatic cartridge may require periodic cleaning or replacement. Consult a qualified plumber for this service.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Fluctuating hot/cold water supply pressure; thermostatic cartridge issue. | Check home water pressure. If problem persists, consult a plumber to inspect or replace the thermostatic cartridge. |
| Low Water Flow from Shower Heads/Jets | Mineral buildup in nozzles; clogged filter screens; low home water pressure. | Clean silicone nozzles. Check and clean filter screens at inlets. Verify adequate home water pressure. |
| Leaking from Connections | Improperly tightened connections; damaged seals/O-rings. | Turn off water supply. Carefully tighten connections. Inspect and replace any damaged seals or O-rings. Professional assistance recommended. |
| Water Not Getting Hot Enough | Thermostatic valve safety limit engaged; insufficient hot water supply. | Ensure the temperature knob is rotated past the safety stop (press button). Check your hot water heater settings and capacity. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact Dasan customer support or a qualified plumbing professional.
