CAUTION: Risk of Personal Injury! If the water temperature is

become too hot.
Parts Included
• Shower Head
• Filter Cartridge
• Plumber's Tape
Before You Begin
When changing the Filter Cartridge, or installing the VivaSpring filtered
shower head for the first time, rubber gloves are recommended to help
get a better grip on the housing.
While installing or re-installing the VivaSpring filtered shower head, we
recommended wrapping a rag or small towel around the Inlet Collar
before you tighten with a wrench to avoid scratching the finish.

Tools Needed
• Adjustable Wrench
• Rag or Small Towel
• Rubber Gloves
(optional for better grip)
Installation
1. Remove the existing Shower Head from the shower arm (pipe) by
turning it counterclockwise.
2. Clean away any debris that may be on the threaded portion of the
shower arm. Wrap the included plumber's tape tightly around the
shower arm threads 2 or 3 times to prevent leaking.
3. Unscrew the two halves of the Shower Head.
4. Peel the stickers off of the Filter Cartridge and place the Filter
Cartridge in the Filter Housing. The Filter Cartridge can be installed
with either side up. Close the Shower Head by screwing the two
halves of the Shower Head back together tightly.
5. Unscrew the protective cap from the Inlet Collar and ensure that the
rubber washer with mesh screen is in place inside of the Inlet Collar.
Hold the Shower Head up to the shower pipe and turn the Shower
Head by hand clockwise, until tight. Use an adjustable wrench to
tighten the connection, if needed, to help alleviate leaking.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the Inlet Collar. Over-tightening may
cause the rubber washer to compress into the shower arm, which
can cause leaking. If this occurs, uninstall the Shower Head,
reinstall the washer, and reconnect the Shower Head.
6. Turn water on and check for leaks. Tighten the connection as
necessary. Flush the Filter Cartridge by running the shower for
2 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
Filter replacement
To ensure maximum effectiveness, replace the Filter Cartridge every
10,000 gallons, or six months of use, with the Brondell FF-15
Replacement Filter Cartridge.
1. Open the Shower Head: Rubber gloves are recommended to help get
a better grip on the housing. With one hand, grasp the back half of the
Shower Head tightly. Using your other hand, turn the front half of the
Shower Head counter-clockwise until the two halves are separated.
2. Remove the used Filter Cartridge by pulling it out from the Filter
Housing in the back half of the Shower Head.
3. Peel the stickers off of the new Filter Cartridge. Place the new Filter
Cartridge into the housing – the Cartridge can be installed either
side up.
4. Close the Shower Head by screwing the two halves back together
tightly.
5. Turn water on and check for leaks. Tighten the connection as
necessary. Flush the Filter Cartridge by running the shower for 2
minutes, or until the water runs clear.
