FAQs
How do I remove the flow restrictor?
The flow restrictor is typically a small plastic or rubber disc located inside the threaded connection where the shower head attaches to the shower arm. You can usually gently pry it out using a small flathead screwdriver or a similar pointed tool.
What material is the shower head made of?
The shower head body is constructed from durable ABS plastic, while the connecting fitting that attaches to the shower arm is made of robust brass for enhanced durability and leak prevention.
Will this shower head work with my existing shower arm?
Yes, the Aqua Elegante Luxury Shower Head is designed to fit all standard US and Canada 1/2-inch IPS shower arms. Installation is a simple screw-on process.
How long is the warranty period?
The shower head comes with a comprehensive 5-year warranty, backed by Aqua Elegante, a responsible small business.
Can I use this shower head outdoors or in an RV?
Yes, its design and functionality make it suitable for use in various settings, including RVs and outdoor shower applications.
How do I clean the polished brass finish?
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the polished brass finish. For the nozzles, gentle rubbing usually suffices; for tougher buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used followed by rinsing.
Does it come with plumber's tape?
Plumber's tape is not included with the shower head, but it is recommended for ensuring a tight seal during installation. You can purchase it separately at most hardware stores.
Troubleshooting
Shower head leaks at the connection point.
Ensure the shower head is screwed on straight and tight. Check if plumber's tape was used on the shower arm threads. Reapply tape and retighten if necessary. Ensure any rubber washers inside the connection are properly seated.
Water pressure is still low after removing the restrictor.
Verify that the restrictor was fully removed. Check the main water supply to your home. Ensure there are no other kinks or blockages in the shower hose or plumbing.
Spray pattern is uneven or some nozzles are blocked.
Gently rub the nozzles with your finger to dislodge any mineral deposits. If the issue persists, soak the shower head (or just the face) in a mild vinegar and water solution for an hour, then rinse thoroughly.
Shower head makes noise during use.
This could be due to high water pressure or air in the lines. Try adjusting the water flow slightly. Ensure the internal components are properly seated.
