Decono® Shower HM2000C
A. Attach water supply hose with standard garden hose fitting (not included) to
Brass Hose Shuto.
B. Turn water supply on. Lower Brass Hose Shuto should be in the “open”
position. It takes approximately 15 seconds to achieve full spray pattern.
C. Check aim of shower heads and use shower according to your standard operating
procedures.
D. After use, the shower should be fully decontaminated using your standard
operating procedures and in full compliance with state and federal regulations.
E. The shower should be inspected for damage or missing parts and should be
completely dry before storage.
F. Store in vinyl carry bag in moderate environmental conditions out of direct
sunlight or exposure to ozone.
Eective Spray Pattern
A. The most eective spray pattern creates a virtual wall of water by overlapping
the fan-shaped spray and keeping the spray in a vertical plane with the upright
portion of the shower.
B. All shower heads should be aimed so that the centers of the fans are at
approximately the center point of the average user’s body as they stand in the
shower.
C. The optimum spray pattern is attained when at least 15 gpm (30-50 psi) of water
is supplied to the shower inlet.

Shower Operation
A. As with all emergency equipment you should develop an inspection program
that assures its suitability for use in an incident.
B. Program should include deploying, visually inspecting, and operating the
shower at least every 3 months. All problems should be immediately corrected.
C. Maintenance on this shower is minimal. The inspection program should reveal
any problems with quick connects or hose connections. These may include worn
or missing O-Rings, broken cam locks or leaking joints.
D. Due to the nature of the materials used in this shower, cracked pipes are very
unlikely.
E. Occasional coatings of silicone based lubricant on the quick connect surfaces
and cam locks will ensure they function smoothly.
High Winds
A. When the Decono Shower is being used outdoors in windy weather, it is best to
operate the shower for a short time in order to fill the lower section with water.
The weight of the water helps secure the shower to the ground.
B. When wind speeds exceed 20 mph, it may be necessary to use the enclosed
Sandbags over the Support Legs as a secondary means to secure the shower to
the ground.
