If something's not right

• Water pressure dropped

  Likely cause: Sediment building up in the cartridge

  Fix: Check or Adjust — Backwash it: take the cartridge out, flip it mesh-end down, run hot water through for a couple of minutes, then turn it back.

• Water pressure dropped right after installing

  Likely cause: The shower fitting's sediment screen restricts the outlet, or over-tightening pushed a washer into the shower arm

  Fix: Check or Adjust — Unscrew the raised mesh screen with pliers; retrieve and reseat the washer and hand-tighten only.

• Drips at the shower arm connection

  Likely cause: The washer was pushed into the arm by over-tightening

  Fix: Check or Adjust — Reseat the washer flat (or flip it), and wrap 3–4 layers of plumber's tape around the shower arm threads.

• Leaks from the middle of the filter body

  Likely cause: Internal washers shifted when the cartridge was changed
