FINISH AND CHECK FOR
5.
LEAKS
Note: Any distrtion the hose may
have assumed in packaging will relax
soon after warm water has run through
the hose.
Hang your hand shower on its mount.
Slowly turn on the cold water and
look for leaks. If leaks occur re-tighten
connections in small steps being careful
not to over tighten and strip threads.

Operation and Maintenance

Your shower operation is designed for
optimum performance and still meet
ANSI code A112.18.1M requirements
of 2.5 gallon per minute (9.5 LPM)
maximum flow rate at 20 to 80 PSI for
the preservation of water and energy.
The flow restricter that performs this
function is located in the end of the
hand shower. Removal of this device
will increase your water and energy
consumption.
Impurities in any water system will over
time generally accumulate at the shower
orifice, slowly closing then off.
Cleaning these deposits is best achieved
by washing with a soap solution and
simply adjusting the mechanism which
will flush them out. For calcium deposits,
soaking them in vinegar and then
flushing them usually works.
Clean your shower's finish with warm
sudsy water to avoid destroying your
products finish.
Models with Pause Controls incorporate
a pause in the flow to allow time for other
bathing activities. This is not a shut off
position. A small drip is designed into
the unit to reduce temperature build up
and remind you that the shower is just
paused, not off. To shut it off, use your
shower valve.
