Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Pfister Deckard Showering Kit.
Cleaning the Finish:
To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (such as ammonia-based cleaners) as these can damage the finish and void your warranty.
Cleaning Nozzles:
The hand shower and raincan showerhead feature wipe-clean nozzles. Mineral deposits can be easily removed by gently rubbing the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush. This helps maintain optimal spray performance.
General Care:
Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten as necessary. Do not overtighten. Ensure the shower column and slide bar are securely mounted to the wall.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your showering kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Low Water Pressure:
Check for obstructions in the showerhead or hand shower nozzles. Ensure the main water supply valve to your shower is fully open. Verify that any flow restrictors are clear of debris. - Leaking:
If leaks occur at connections, ensure all fittings are properly tightened. Do not overtighten, as this can damage components. If leaks persist from the showerhead or hand shower, check for damaged washers or seals and replace if necessary. - Inconsistent Water Temperature:
If water temperature is inconsistent or difficult to control, ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the shower valve. If issues persist, consult a professional plumber, as this may indicate a problem with the shower valve (sold separately) or your home's plumbing system. - Diverter Not Switching Properly:
Ensure the diverter handle is fully engaged in each position. If it feels stiff or does not switch completely, check for mineral buildup around the diverter mechanism.
