TESTING FOR WATER LEAKS

LEAVING SHOWER 24 HOURS AFTER BUILD ALLOWING SEALENT TO CURE 

With all connections tight, the waste and hoses checked, jets fully sealed, your shower still around 18 inches 

from its designated final resting point and the silicone fully cured (hence leaving for 24 hours minimum) 

Switch on the overhead shower NOT the massage jets, remember these will fire water out at you and are 

not suitable for checking leaks as they would normally only operate when a person is in front of them. Just 

use COLD water setting as hot will make cabin misty and condensate thus the inspection becomes very  

difficult. Now on the OUTSIDE of the shower inspect each joint, factory seal, hose, clip and jet by walking 

from one side and going around to the back and then to the other side finishing at the front. If you have a 

small leak (normally caused through insufficient sealer or air bubble on assembly, dry the area thoroughly 

and reseal on the OUTSIDE. Please remember where you see the water this may not be exactly where the 

leak is as it could have run around to a low point. Never seal your inner fittings (accessories) inside unless 

you feel it necessary and make sure it is thin and neat, remember you will see this for the life of the shower! 

Again leave to cure and check. If all good now check shower functions i.e. jets for back massage,     

foot massage, (if you have one) and finally hand shower, check your joints to these functions at the rear 

again. Never use the shower until 

all

 checks have been made and the installer is 100% happy in the 

knowledge no leaks are present.  

All good? 

Now push your shower FROM THE BASE NEVER GLASS OR FRAME into its final resting position. 

Now you can shower in the knowledge that you have no leaks a job done well and long product life.  

Happy showering!
