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 water flows towards to the waste to prevent puddling.
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.
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 functions 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!
