Quick Start Guide

For more detailed installation instructions and how-to videos, go to install- shower-power. ampere. shop or scan the QR code below.

Before you begin, identify your shower fitting.

Fixed

The showerhead attaches to a fitting that comes straight from the wall at an angle. The fitting is male and the showerhead is female.
Shower fitting

Handheld

The showerhead attaches to a hose that comes from a fitting lower down on the wall. The hose is female and the showerhead is male.
Handheld

Tip:
You can install Shower Power on either end depending on your preference. It can be at the base of the hose OR at the end of the hose, attached to the showerhead.

Rain

The showerhead attaches to a fitting that comes straight down from the ceiling. The fitting is male and the showerhead is female.

Step 1 – Unbox Shower Power and remove the speaker from the dock
Rotate the speaker 90 degrees counterclockwise to separate it from the dock. Set the speaker and dock aside.

Step 2 – Remove your showerhead from the fitting
Unscrew the showerhead. You can usually do this by hand but may need a pair of pliers if it was installed too tightly.

Step 3 – Install the male-male connector on the appropriate side
Installation Instruction

Determine which side of Shower Power is input and which side is output. These are labeled on the surface of each side. For additional confirmation, there is a small metal sensor on the output side. There will also be a sticker that indicates the input side (this can be removed after the first use).

Rain and Fixed

For these shower types, the male-male connector will go on the output side (the side that connects to the showerhead). First, screw in the male-male connector by hand and then tighten it with the hex key.

Handheld

For these shower types, the male-male connector will go on the input side (the side that connects to the hose). First, screw in the male-male connector by hand and then tighten it with the hex key.

Step 4 – Connecting your showerhead to the shower dock

Attach your showerhead to the shower dock. Connect securely but don’t overtighten. If you noticed that your showerhead/fitting already used sealing tape, you may want to use it at this stage of the installation process.

Tip for handheld showers
If the showerhead is not oriented in the direction you want then you can add a rubber O-ring inside the output threads on Shower Power. Use the thinner rings for smaller adjustments and the thicker rings for larger adjustments. You can use multiple if necessary.

Step 5 – Connect shower dock + showerhead to the shower fitting

Finally, connect the shower dock, with the showerhead now attached, to the shower fitting.

Tip for rain and fixed showers
If the showerhead is not oriented in the direction you want then you can add a rubber O-ring inside the output threads on Shower Power. Use the thinner rings for smaller adjustments and the thicker rings for larger adjustments. You can use multiple if necessary.

Step 6 – Connect the speaker (aka Droplet Pro) to the shower dock
Align the bump in the underside of the shower dock with the groove on Droplet Pro. The Ampere logo will be facing the same direction as flow of water.

Troubleshooting

It’s leaking! What do I do?
The first thing to check is if you screwed in Shower Power tight enough. The next solution is to try adding rubber O-rings to the female ends of the connection. Another solution is to use the sealing tape to make the connection tighter. Wrap the sealing tape around the threads in a counterclockwise direction for a better seal.

What do I do if Shower Power is not pointed in the direction I want?
If the showerhead is not oriented in the direction you want then you can add a rubber O-ring inside the output threads on Shower Power. Use the thinner rings for smaller adjustments and the thicker rings for larger adjustments. You can use multiple if necessary. You can also use the sealing tape to prevent leakage and screw to your preferred direction.

Using Shower Power

Charging

Hydroelectric Charging:
Charging a Bluetooth speaker has never been easier–all you have to do is take a shower. Shower Power will charge whenever there is flowing water. Under “normal use conditions,” Shower Power will never need to be charged. We consider “normal use conditions” to be water pressure between 30-50 PSI, water temperature of less than 120°F (50°C), and only using Shower Power while the water is running.

If you use Shower Power without water running, then you will be using the reserve battery power. Continued use will result in needing to use the USB-C port to charge the Shower Power.

USB-C Charging:

Remove Droplet Pro (the speaker) from the Shower Dock and make sure it is completely dry before plugging in. You can charge Droplet Pro with almost any adapter from a reputable brand. Shower Power is compatible with QC and PD adapters.

Low Power Notifications

When the battery level reaches 20% Shower Power will beep three times. When the battery reaches 10% it will beep three times. When you hear this “low battery” sound, we recommend not using Shower Power without water running. Alternatively, you can use the USB-C port to bring it back up to 100%.

Pairing

When Shower Power is turned on, it will enter Bluetooth pairing mode automatically. The “searching sound” will play for one minute but it will remain in pairing mode for three minutes. If no device is paired within three minutes, Shower Power will automatically turn off.

To pair your device, open the Bluetooth pairing tab on your device and select “Shower Power Pro.”

Play your favorite audio from your device. You can pause, play, skip, change volume, etc from your device, via the button pad, or the Shower Power remote control.

Button Pad

Power Button

Hold for two seconds to turn Shower Power on and off. Single Press to switch between the different light modes. It will rotate between “Relax,” “Party,” “Temperature,” and off. If you would like other options, use the Ampere App to customize your light experience. The power button will illuminate green when the battery is charging. The power button will blink blue while in pairing mode.

Play Button

Single press to pause and play your audio. Hold for two seconds to skip to the next song.

Shower Power Accessories

Droplet/Droplet Pro
When sold with the Shower Dock, the speaker and Shower Dock together are called Shower Power (and Shower Power Pro). When purchased separately, the speaker component is referred to as Droplet (and Droplet Pro). Regardless of whether you bought the speaker component as part of “Shower Power” or separately, it will work with any Shower Power Shower Dock.

TWS Pairing
Before pairing your device, turn on two Ampere speakers (Droplet, Droplet Pro, Shower Power, Shower Power Pro) and allow the two speakers to connect. When they do, you’ll hear a pairing sound.

Single press the pairing button to disconnect. After disconnecting the TWS, if you would like to re-pair, turn Droplet off and turn on again.

If you are having trouble getting the speakers to connect, make sure that there are no devices nearby that have paired to either speaker. If so, go into your Bluetooth settings and “forget” all Shower Power-related Bluetooth devices. If you are still having trouble connecting two speakers, hold down the pairing button for ten seconds to reset the Bluetooth pairing settings. You’ll hear a “reset” sound. Then, turn off both speakers and try again.

Shower Power Remote
The Shower Power remote works just like the button pad on Shower Power itself. If it’s hard to reach, the remote allows to control all the functionality from up to 10 meters away. The only difference is that the power button on the remote does not turn Shower Power on. Shower Power will turn on automatically when water starts to flow.

Cleaning and Care

Just like any showerhead, over time, the Shower Dock may become stained or dirty. This could be a buildup of limescale, or metals and minerals (like iron and manganese) or bacteria. It is fine to clean the Shower Dock with the same cleaners that you use for your showerhead. That could include vinegar, baking soda, or gentle bathroom cleaning spray.

Before you begin, remove the speaker (Droplet Pro) from the Speaker Dock and set aside. When cleaning the shower dock, be careful not to damage the pogo pins. Be very careful around the pins and try to keep them as dry as possible.

To clean the speaker component (Droplet), remove from the Speaker Dock and clean with a damp cloth. Do not leave the pogo pin connection wet or submerged in water.
