Troubleshooting
Low water flow from shower head
Ensure the water supply pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Check for any blockages in the shower head face or within the riser pipe. Verify that the exposed shower valve is fully open.
Leaking connections
Check that all connections are securely tightened. Inspect any seals or washers for damage and replace if necessary. If leaks persist, consult a professional plumber.
Chrome finish tarnishing
