Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Check that the exposed valves are fully open. Inspect the riser and shower head for any blockages or scale buildup. Ensure the home's water pressure is adequate.
Leaking from connections
Verify that all connections are securely tightened according to the installation manual. Check that rubber washers or seals are correctly seated and not damaged.
Swivel spout is stiff
Gently try to move the spout back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied to the swivel joint, following product guidelines.
Chrome finish discolored
Ensure only non-abrasive cleaning products are used. Stubborn discoloration might indicate mineral deposits that can be treated with a mild vinegar solution, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
