Troubleshooting
Low water flow or pressure
Check that the shower arm threads are clean and that the shower head is screwed on correctly. Ensure the main water supply is fully open. There may be internal debris; try removing and rinsing the shower head. Verify your home's water pressure meets recommended levels.
Leaking from the connection point
Ensure plumber's tape was used on the shower arm threads. Re-thread the shower head, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened. If the leak persists, remove the head, reapply plumber's tape, and re-install.
Shower head is dripping after water is turned off
This can sometimes occur due to residual water in the pipes. If the dripping is constant or excessive, check for any obstructions or internal valve issues within the shower system itself.
