Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at the connection point.
Ensure the connection is hand-tightened, then give a quarter-turn with pliers. Check that any rubber washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting.
Low water flow despite adequate pressure.
Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is met by your system. Clean any debris from the showerhead and the hose connections.
Hose appears to be kinking easily.
While designed to be flexible, excessive or sharp bending can occur. Ensure the hose is not twisted during installation and that the length is appropriate for your shower setup. Avoid storing coiled tightly for extended periods.
Finish is discolored or damaged.
Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive pads, which can strip or damage the aged bronze coating. If damage is severe, consider replacing the hose.
