TESTING FOR WATER LEAKS
LEAVE THE SHOWER 24 HOURS AFTER BUILD TO ALLOW SEALENT TO CURE AND ENSURE
THE SHOWER IS AWAY FROM ITS FINAL POSITION TO ALLOW REAR VIEWING
Ensure all connections are tight and sealed including the waste, body jets and steam outlet (model
dependent) on your shower.
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. DO NOT AIM THE HAND SHOWER AT THE JOINTS OF YOUR SHOWER AS THIS DOES
NOT FALL UNDER
“
NORMAL EVERYDAY USE
”.
Adjust the feet to ensure the direction of the wa-
ter flows towards to the waste to prevent puddling.
Just use COLD water setting as hot will make cabin misty and condensate thus the inspection be-
comes 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 as-
sembly, dry the area thoroughly and reseal.
Please remember the location of the water may not be exactly where the leak is as it could have run
around to a low point. Never seal your inner fittings unless necessary, remember you will see this for
the life of the shower! Again leave to cure and check. Once you are happy check the shower func-
tions i.e. jets for back massage, foot massage and finally hand shower (model dependent) 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 and NEVER THE GLASS OR FRAME into its final resting
position.
Happy Showering!
