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.
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
position.
Happy Showering!
