Correcting Reduced Water Flow – Showerheads
If your showerheads begin to show reduced flow or performance, follow these steps. If performance does not
improve, contact your local service representative.
Clean the Showerhead Spray Holes
With the water running, firmly rub the holes in the face of the showerhead to dislodge any mineral
build-up or debris. If this does not improve performance, follow the "Clean the Aerator" steps
below.

Turn off the water to the showerhead off.
Insert the showerhead tool (provided) into the holes in the face of the showerhead.

Insert the aerator plate into the aerator housing.
