Your completed shower should now look like this:

TESTING FOR WATER LEAKS

LEAVING SHOWER 24 HOURS AFTER BUILD ALLOWING SEALENT TO

CURE HAVE YOU BUILT THIS CORRECTLY? FIND OUT NOW.

With all connections tight, the waste and hoses checked, jets fully

sealed, your shower still around18 inches from its designated final

resting point and the silicone sealer fully cured (hence leaving for

24 hours at min) Switch on the overhead shower NOT massage jets

remember these will fire water out at you and are not suitable for

checking leaks as they would normally only operate when a person

is fully in front of them. Just use COLD water setting as hot will

make cabin misty and condensate thus the inspection becomes

very difficult. Now on the OUTSIDE inspect each joint, factory seal,

hose, clip, jet, from one side going round to the back and then

other side finishing at the front. If you have a small leak (normally

caused through insufficient sealer or air bubble on assemble. Dry

area thoroughly and reseal on the OUTSIDE. Again remember

where you see water may not be exactly where the leak is, it could

have run round to a low point. Never seal anything inside unless

you feel it necessary and make sure it is thin and neat, remember

you will see this for the life of your shower! Leave to cure again

and check. If all good now check shower functions, Jets for back

massage, foot massage, (if you have one) and finally hand shower,

check your joints to these functions at the rear again. Never use

the shower until all checks have been made and the installer is

100% happy in the knowledge no leaks are present. All good? Now

push your shower FROM THE BASE NEVER GLASS OR FRAME into

its final resting position. Now you can shower in the knowledge

that you have no leaks a job done well and long product life.

Happy showering!
