Silicone Seal where shown in red on the inside of the shower
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!
