Troubleshooting
Low water pressure or weak spray
Check if the flow rate is restricted by EcoSmart technology. Ensure the shower arm threads are not blocked. Clean the QuickClean nozzles for any limescale buildup. Verify that your home's water pressure is adequate for shower head operation.
Leaking at the connection point
Ensure the G1/2 connection is properly tightened. Reapply plumber's tape to the shower arm threads and retighten the shower head. Check the seal or washer inside the connection.
