Quick Start Guide
Wellness Shower Installation
STEP A - Install Showerhead to Shower Housing Base
1. Remove the Wellness Shower and the Massaging
Showerhead from the box.
2. Inspect the inside of the silver knurled attachment ring on
the Massaging Showerhead to ensure the rubber washer
is in place.
3. Attach the Massaging Showerhead to the male threads on
the Wellness Shower housing base. Turn the silver knurled
attachment ring in a clockwise direction until snug.
STEP B - Install Wellness Shower to Shower Arm
1. Remove the old showerhead from the shower arm.
2. Inspect shower arm at its base for any burring or gaps
which may prevent water-tight seal. Repair or replace
arm if necessary.
3. A good rule is to wrap Teflon
®
tape around threads on shower
arm (where old showerhead was
attached) Note: Rubbing a bar
of soap perpendicularly across
the threads to deposit some soap
in the grooves may work as a
Teflon tape substitute.
4. Inspect the inside of the silver
knurled attachment ring on the
Wellness Shower housing base
to ensure that the rubber washer
is in place. (If misplaced, the
rubber washer from the old
showerhead may be used).
5. Attach Wellness Shower to
the shower arm by turning the
silver knurled attachment ring
in a clockwise direction. Warning: Overtightening can
damage fittings and this can cause leaks.
6. Your Wellness Shower is now ready for use. Turn on the
water supply and check water flow and seals.
Note: It is normal to see discolored water discharge
from the showerhead during the first 5 seconds of use.
Wellness Shower Backwash Operation
Your Wellness Shower's backwash feature extends filter cartridge life
and increases water flow. Wellness recommends you backwash your
Wellness Shower at least bi-weekly. If your water's sediment levels are
high, backwash up to every day for 30 seconds
1. The most efficient way to backwash
your Wellness Shower is during the
warm-up time — waiting for your
water to get hot.
2. Simply rotate the top of the Wellness
Shower's cartridge 90 degrees counter-
clockwise so the recycle symbol
is
directly above the triangle indicator
– you should feel a slight indent as it
sets into the backwash position.
3. Leave water on for 60 seconds.
Backwash water flows through holes
in the filter housing base.
4. After 60 seconds, rotate the top of
the Wellness Shower's cartridge 90
degrees clockwise to the showerhead
symbol
for regular operation.
Note:
In case severe sediment levels or
neglect has caused slow water flow, a
power backwash may be necessary. With water running, simply
rotate the filter cartridge back and forth between backwash and
service settings quickly and repeatedly. Do this until water flow is
restored and then for at least one minute longer.
