Troubleshooting
Leaking at the connection point
Ensure Teflon tape is properly applied to the threads and that the connection is securely tightened. Check for any debris on the threads.
Low water pressure
Verify that the showerhead is not clogged. Ensure the shower arm itself is clear of any debris. Check that the main water supply is fully open.
Finish appears scratched or faded
This is uncommon with the premium coating. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. If damage is significant, contact customer support.
