How do I remove the flow restrictor / check valve from a handshower?

 

If the water flow is restricted or reduced, there may be debris caught in your flow controller / check valve (one piece). Use the following steps to inspect and clean the flow controller/check valve.
 
1. Remove the handshower from the hose by unscrewing the hose conical counter-clockwise (Fig 1).
 
 
2. The flow controller/check valve is located at the opening of the handshower handle and has a different color plastic housing than the handshower conical threads (Fig 2). Use the needle-nose pliers to grasp the flow controller/check valve and pull the flow controller/check valve out. Take care not to use excessive force when grasping the perimeter edge of the flow controller/check valve to avoid damage (Fig 2 & 3)
 
 
3. Remove any debris from the flow controller/check valve. Reinstall the flow controller/check valve by pressing into the opening of the handshower handle. Then reattach the hose conical to the handshower threads.
