How to maintain your shower
With an extended Indian summer, we are slowly entering the beautiful fall season. It is therefore time to put away your outdoor shower so that it is in perfect condition next summer!
During winter
It’s important to winterise your garden shower to protect it from the effects of frost. It is essential to turn off water supplies, disconnect all of the shower’s water inlets and leave all the shower’s taps in the open position.
- Turn off water supplies.
- Disconnect all water inlets.
- Ensure taps are in open position(for showerheads and foot showers).
- Unscrew the flexible hose so that water does not accumulate and store them frost-free.
- Ideally, we recommend storing your shower in a frost-free place during the winter. If you decide to leave it outside, we recommend protecting the taps and mixer taps with a blanket.
- Place a protective cover (available separately) over the shower.

How to maintain your powder-coated aluminium shower?
Because of the limescale, small whitish marks are likely to appear. To remove them, you can use a classic anti-limescale product and then rinse with clear water. Do the same for the chrome parts.

How to maintain your stainless steel shower?
Tectona uses marine grade 316L stainless steel for its stainless steel showers, which prevents rust. If your shower has never been maintained, it is possible that brown spots may appear, caused by the deposition of fine particles of pollution from the surrounding atmosphere. We recommend cleaning stainless steel with a cleaning paste called "Silver Stone" or "Clay Stone". To do this, simply put the paste on a damp abrasive sponge and rub in the direction of the brush and then rinse well with clear water to avoid leaving any whitish traces. For routine maintenance, you can use a classic stainless steel cleaner such as Spray Inox.
