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!
