Pureflow Showerhead Problems and How to Fix Them

Is your new Pureflow Filtered Showerhead not behaving as expected? In most cases a few simple steps will sort it out. Below you will find the issues customers run into most often, including leaks, low water pressure and installation difficulties, along with fixes that get you back to cleaner, chlorine-reduced water that is gentler on your skin and hair.

1. Leaks Where Parts Connect

Why it happens: A connection has not been tightened properly, or the plumber’s tape was not applied correctly.

How to fix it:

• Go over every connection and tighten it securely by hand. Do not over-tighten, because that can damage the threads.
• Take the leaking part off, clean the threads, and apply fresh plumber’s tape (2–3 wraps in a clockwise direction).
• Put the components back together and test for leaks again.

2. Weak Water Pressure

Why it happens: A blockage in the showerhead or hose, a kinked hose, or low water pressure in your household.

How to fix it:

• Check the showerhead and hose for debris or mineral buildup, and clean them with warm water and vinegar or a soft brush.
• Confirm that the hose is not kinked or twisted and that every connection is tight.
• If pressure is naturally low throughout your home, consider asking a plumber to check your water supply system.

3. Water Escaping From the Stop Button (on models that have one)

Why it happens: The button was not installed properly, or its internal mechanism has worked loose.

How to fix it:

• Make sure the stop button is correctly aligned and securely installed.
• If the mechanism feels loose, tighten it gently.
• If it keeps leaking, contact our customer support team for a replacement part or further assistance.

4. Pressure Lower Than You Expected

Why it happens: Incorrect installation, a clogged filter, or a buildup of sediment.

How to fix it:

• Check that the filter cartridge is installed correctly and sits securely in place.
• Look for blockages in the showerhead and filter housing, and clean them if necessary.
• Confirm that you have selected the spray mode you want, so you get the best performance.

5. Parts Missing or Damaged

Why it happens: This is usually the result of a shipping or packaging issue.

How to fix it:

• Carefully compare what is in your package against the list of included items.
• If anything is missing or damaged, take clear photos and contact our customer support team immediately. We will arrange a replacement as quickly as possible.

6. Loud Noise While Showering

Why it happens: High water pressure or internal components that are out of alignment.

How to fix it:

• Lower the water pressure slightly and see whether the noise decreases.
• Check the showerhead for misaligned parts and gently realign them if needed.
• If the noise continues, contact our customer support team for further guidance or a replacement.

How to Avoid These Problems

• Use plumber’s tape on every threaded connection for a secure, leak-free installation.
• Clean your showerhead regularly to stop mineral buildup and keep filtration performing at its best.
• Treat all parts with care during installation so sensitive components are not damaged.
