Troubleshooting
Water leaking at connection points
Ensure the rubber washers are correctly seated and the connections are tightened firmly by hand.
Reduced water flow
Check the hose for any sharp bends or blockages at the inlet, or inspect the showerhead for scale buildup.
Hose feels stiff
The hose performs best in warm water; if the environment is very cold, run warm water through it to restore full flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Simply unscrew your existing hose from the shower handset and the outlet, then attach the iflo hose using the provided seals. Ensure you do not overtighten the nuts, as this can damage the rubber washers. For care, wipe the hose down with a soft, damp cloth after use to prevent mineral deposits. Avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can dull the silver finish.
