1. Inspect “Flip Top” Dust Cover(s).
Guardian developed the
“flip top” style dust cover as an alternative to the loose
caps with chains that other manufacturers use. The ”flip
top” cover is attached to the spray head by a permanent
stainless steel rivet so it can never be lost or removed.
Verify that the cover swings freely and is removed from the
spray head by the water flow.
2. Inspect Filter(s).
Each spray head contains an internal
foam filter to remove particles, scale and other debris from
the water flow before it enters the user’s eyes. Over time,
this foreign matter will collect in the filter. Depending on
the amount of foreign matter in the water flow, the filter
can become clogged and the flow of water through the
spray head can be impaired.
Inspect filter for debris and/or
deterioration. Clean or replace the filter as required.
3. Inspect Flow Control(s).
Each spray head contains a flow
control to regulate the flow of water through the spray
head. The flow control assures that the unit delivers a soft,
generous flood of water regardless of incoming water line
pressure. Over time, debris can collect in the flow control
or it can deteriorate due to age. If this occurs, the flow
control must be cleaned or replaced.
Inspect flow control for
debris and/or deterioration. Clean or replace as required.
