Usage
Pressure Balance Mixing Valve
This ShowerSpa is equipped with a cUPC® pressure balance mixing valve to adjust water flow and temperature.
The valve automatically adjusts to changes in water pressure (i.e. someone flushes a toilet), keeping your
temperature constant and preventing accidental scalding. To turn on the ShowerSpa simply raise the handle
until the desired flow rate is achieved. Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease temperature and rotate clockwise
to increase temperature. Be sure that the handle is in the OFF position when you are done using your
ShowerSpa so that pressure does not build up inside the unit.
Brass Diverter
The Four-way Simple Select™ diverter effortlessly selects your desired function. Simply rotate the diverter knob
either direction to select functions—shower head, hand shower, body jets, or tub spout.
Hand Shower
The five-function hand shower, equipped with a 1.5M - 1.8M stainless steel stretch hose, has a large design that
delivers easy function selection by twisting the face.
Body Jets
There are six single-function brass Silk Spray Jets™ that provide soothing spray. You can adjust the angle of
spray by pushing on the front edge of the jet in any direction. Jet face easily disassembles for cleaning ensuring
peak performance.
Care and Maintenance
To protect the finish of your copper ShowerSpa avoid using abrasive cleaners. No coarse, acidic, or alcohol-based
cleaners should be used, and no steel wool, scouring pads, or wire brushes as they may scratch copper surfaces.
Clean with hot soapy water and scrub with a soft nylon brush. For tough stains try using a paste of baking soda
and water applied with a sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. If the surface of your ShowerSpa
discolors, it will start to darken again with use. This darkening process time will depend on how much use the
ShowerSpa gets. The more the ShowerSpa is used, the faster the darkening process.
The natural patina process may also be affected by mineral content in your water supply. We recommend
removing any standing water with a soft cloth to prevent calcium staining and mineral buildup.
Our copper ShowerSpas are crafted from the finest quality copper available. The patinas will change over time,
developing more interest and variations. A copper finish is a living finish and never really stops changing color.
You can greatly reduce this change with the use of auto wax and/or furniture oil such as Pledge Lemon Oil. Auto
wax should only be used a few times a year but you can use Pledge Lemon Oil as often as you like.
Please be aware that our copper ShowerSpa has a finish that is by nature uneven with a variance in color and
pattern. Additionally, the dimensions and consistency of shape can vary considerably. We offer this ShowerSpa
with the view that these variations are not defects, but part of the rustic character and charm of the style.
REMEMBER
Never use any abrasives or harsh cleaners!
Clean with mild soap and water ONLY!
To keep your ShowerSpa in pristine condition,
DRY AFTER EACH USE!

Retrofit–Existing Shower Replacement
NOTE—In a remodel in which you are not replacing the finished wall surface (tile, or backing material) it is advisable to purchase a PULSE
ShowerSpa model that covers the location of your existing valve assembly—either single handle or two-handle type. If your PULSE
ShowerSpa model does not cover this area, you will need to either choose another PULSE ShowerSpa model that does or make necessary
repairs with appropriate materials (i.e. wallboard, tile, fiberglass, etc).
1. TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY TO SHOWER. Typically there is a gate
valve where the water main enters the house. Turning the water
valve off at hot water tank does not turn off cold water supply
line.
2. Make certain water is completely turned off to both hot & cold
supply lines of shower. Turn shower valve on, both hot and cold,
to VERIFY WATER SUPPLY IS OFF. Open a sink faucet in the
bathroom in which you are installing ShowerSpa to relieve any
pressure and help adequately drain shower supply lines.
3. Remove handle(s) and trim cover(s) of your existing shower valve,
exposing valve body in wall.
4. Locate hot and cold supply lines entering valve. Using a
reciprocating saw with sharp metal saw blade, cut existing
valve out, preserving threads of supply lines entering valve. You
should also cut riser within wall supplying existing shower head.
Carefully twist and remove valve.
5. Unscrew old shower head from shower arm, then unscrew
shower arm from wall.
6. Water lines must be extended to outside of wall cavity, 4" on
center. For best results, attach 90° fittings (available at most
hardware stores) to the stub-outs maintaining ¼" – ½" of space
between fitting and finished wall. The open end of 90° fittings
should point down so supply lines attach parallel to wall.
1
7a. Mark location of holes for top mount, making sure holes are
level. For a person 5'8" – 6'2", we recommend placing holes of
upper mount at approx. 68" above finished floor.
2
7b. To determine location for lower mount bracket, confirm distance
measured between top of mount slots located on back of
ShowerSpa (approx. 231⁄8 "). Using this distance, measure down
from holes in upper mount to obtain location of holes in lower
mount, making certain mounts are plumb.
7c. Use mounts to mark location of holes for each mount.
8. Before drilling holes, make certain connecting to stub-outs DOES
NOT INTERFERE with backside of ShowerSpa and it is flush with
finished wall at desired mounting height.
3
9. Drill ¼" holes through wall surface using masonry bit. Drill slowly
through wall surface to avoid cracking and chipping. Insert
anchors and securely screw brackets to wall.
BEFORE CONNECTING HOT/COLD SUPPLY LINES - Hang ShowerSpa
on wall, check height and make sure ShowerSpa is flush against wall
with a secure fit.
10. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to stub-outs—DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN! Before mounting ShowerSpa, check fittings to
make sure they are secure. Turn on water and check for leaks.
When fittings are leak-free, mount ShowerSpa on wall.
11. OPTIONAL—Seal around body of ShowerSpa with a bead of
silicone. DO NOT SEAL BOTTOM!
1Additional fittings or longer supply lines may be necessary depending on your specific situation.
2 The mounting height can vary depending on several factors (i.e. location of supply lines, interference from ShowerSpa plumbing, old valve access area,
personal preference, etc.)
3The desired mounting height of ShowerSpa determines, or is determined by location of the ½" stub-outs.

Installation–New Construction
Extensive Remodel– New Finished Wall Surface
1. Prior to sheetrock, stub-out ½" hot and cold supply lines beyond
finished wall surface, 4" on center. For best results, attach 90°
brass fittings (available at most hardware stores) to the stub-outs
maintaining ¼" – ½" of space between the fitting and finished
wall. The open end of the 90° brass fittings should point down so
the ShowerSpa's supply lines attach parallel to wall. 1
2. For a person 5'8" – 6'2" we recommend stub-outs be 40" above
finished floor.
2
3. Before installation, make certain water is COMPLETELY TURNED
OFF to both hot & cold supply lines of shower.
4a. Mark location of holes for top mount, making sure holes are
level. For a person 5'8" – 6'2", we recommend placing holes of
upper mount at approx. 60" above finished floor.
3
4b. To determine location for lower mount measure distance
between indents on bottom edge of horizontal mounting bars
on back of ShowerSpa (approx. 231⁄8 "). Using this distance,
measure down from holes in upper mount to obtain location of
holes in lower mount making certain mounts are plumb.
4c. Use mounts to mark location of holes for each mount.
5. Before drilling holes, make certain that connecting to stub-outs
DOES NOT INTERFERE with backside of ShowerSpa and it is flush
with finished wall at desired mounting height.

6. Drill ¼" holes through wall surface using a masonry bit. Drill
slowly through wall surface to avoid cracking and chipping. Insert
anchors and securely screw brackets to wall. Before connecting

make sure they are secure. Turn on water and check for leaks.
When fittings are leak-free, mount ShowerSpa on wall.
