Troubleshooting

Water leak from connections

Turn off the water supply. Check that all connections (inlet, outlet, backplate) are securely tightened. Ensure any necessary seals or washers are correctly in place.

Shower arm feels loose

Turn off the water supply. Ensure the backplate is firmly secured to the wall. Check and tighten the arm to the backplate if applicable and ensure the rigid riser is also securely connected.

Low water pressure

This is likely an issue with the rigid riser or showerhead, not the arm itself. Check and clean the showerhead nozzle and inspect the rigid riser for any blockages or kinks. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open.
