Understanding Anti-Cal Spray Face Technology
Hard water mineral accumulation is the leading cause of uneven spray patterns and clogged showerheads over time. The anti-cal spray face on this model uses flexible elastomeric nozzles that act much like a damp sponge when flexed, allowing calcium and lime deposits to crack and flake off naturally or with a quick rub of your thumb. Instead of using harsh chemical descaling agents that can damage surface finishes, you can maintain optimal water flow and a uniform spray pattern through simple, routine physical contact with the nozzles.
Installation Guide
Ensure the water supply is turned off at the main valve before beginning any installation work on the shower arm.
Wrap thread seal tape clockwise around the male threads of your existing shower arm to ensure a watertight seal.
Screw the 1/2-inch female connection of the showerhead onto the shower arm and hand-tighten securely without over-tightening.
Adjust the integrated swivel ball to your preferred spray angle before testing the water flow for leaks.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the flexible spray nozzles with a soft, damp cloth weekly to prevent mineral accumulation.
Gentle Cleaning Use mild soap and warm water with a non-abrasive sponge to clean the exterior brass finish.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive scouring powders, bleach, or acidic cleaners that can strip or dull the finish.
Dry After Use Pat the showerhead dry with a microfiber towel after your shower to maintain a spotless surface appearance.
Nozzle Maintenance Gently rub the flexible anti-cal rubber tips with your fingers periodically to dislodge any loosened mineral deposits.
