How do I clean the chrome finish?

Troubleshooting

No water flow from the handset.

Check that the shower hose is securely connected to both the handset and the wall outlet. Ensure the main water supply is on and the shower valve is open. Verify that the water pressure is within the recommended operating range (0.2 - 5 bar).

Weak water flow or reduced spray pattern.

Clean any debris or limescale from the handset's internal parts. Check the shower hose and wall outlet for any blockages. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.2 bar.

Leaking from the connection point.

Ensure the shower hose is properly threaded onto the handset and tightened securely, but do not overtighten. Check the rubber washer inside the hose connection for damage or misalignment.
