Care and cleaning troubleshooting – WaterChef SF-7C User Manual
Page 7
Cleaning is required when mineral deposits appear on spray nozzles to maintain
proper operating conditions. Clean by rubbing hand over nozzles to remove build-up.
Do NOT clean or rinse any part with harsh chemicals, heavy duty cleaners, or
abrasives; this may damage the parts or finish and may void warranty.

CONDITION
Leaking occurs between existing
shower arm and Housing Collar.
REASON
Occasionally, a shower arm can vary
significantly from the standard size
and shape, preventing the shower
arm from seating properly onto the
Housing Collar Gasket (e.g. a shower
arm that flares outward or begins to
curve close to the threading).
SOLUTION
Contact WaterChef Customer Care
at 1.800.879.8909
(intl.+1.775.359.9500)
for assistance.
CONDITION
Leaking occurs between Filter
Housing and Filter Base.
REASON #1
Missing O-ring. (
There should be
TWO O-rings on the Filter Base and
ONE O-ring on the Filter Cartridge.)
REASON #2
O-ring may have a nick or cut in it.
SOLUTION
Replace O-ring(s).
CONDITION
Water is flowing slowly from the
Shower Wand.
REASON
Mineral build up on rubber nozzles.
SOLUTION
You may rub your hand over rubber
nozzles to remove mineral build-up.
Alternatively, remove Shower Wand
and soak in household vinegar.
CONDITION
Filter Base cannot be removed
from Filter Housing.
REASON
Excessive water pressure may have
caused threads to bind.
SOLUTION
Be certain that your hands, Filter
Base and Filter Housing are dry.
Grip Filter Base with one hand while
securing Filter Housing with the other
hand. Turn counter-clockwise to
detach. Hint: Rubber gloves or a
rubber jar opening matt may also be
used if you still experience difficulty.
Do NOT use any abrasive materials,
as this may damage the housing.
