CLEANING
CLEANING THE SHOWER HEAD AND FIXED HEAD
- It is important to keep your shower head and fixed head clean to maintain the performance of your shower.
- Triton recommends that all products be cleaned using warm, soapy water.
- DO NOT use abrasive or aggressive chemical cleaning products as this may affect the product surface and finish and invalidate your guarantee.
- Both the shower head and fixed head can be cleaned quickly by simply rubbing your fingers over the spray plate. DO NOT use a pin or similar to poke the holes otherwise the efficiency of the shower spray will be impaired.
- The hardness of the water will determine the frequency of cleaning. For example, if the shower is used every day in a very hard water area, it may be necessary to clean the shower head every week.
INSPECTING THE HOSES
- Your shower hoses should be inspected from time to time for signs of damage or internal collapse.
- Internal collapse can restrict the flow rate from the shower head and may cause damage to the shower.
- Triton recommends the use of a Triton-branded anti-twist hose on all showers to ensure continuous safe performance.
To inspect your hose:
- Unscrew the hose from the shower head and the diverter outlet.
- Inspect the hose for damage, internal kinks, etc.
- If necessary, replace the hose.
