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 de-
pendent) 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 UN-
DER
“
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.
Important Note:
It is not uncommon due to temperature changes,
glass seals fitted into the frame lower
horizontal and sides can and do shrink leaving a small gap. This is normal to prevent rubbers perishing or
opening later in your showers life. Check yours now, any slight gaps simply seal neatly with a thin bead of
silicone. This will prevent chances of leakage both now or later in life.
All good?
Now push your shower FROM THE BASE and NEVER THE GLASS OR FRAME into its final resting posi-
tion.
Happy Showering!
