Quick Installation Guide

What’s in the Box 

 

Quick Start Guide

Before you begin, identify your shower fitting. 

Fixed

The showerhead attaches to a fitting that comes straight from the wall at an angle. The fitting is male and the showerhead is female.


Rain

The showerhead attaches to a fitting that comes straight down from the ceiling. The fitting is male and the showerhead is female.

*Installation steps are the same for fixed and rain shower fittings

 


Handheld

The showerhead attaches to a hose that comes from a fitting lower down on the wall. The hose is female and the showerhead is male. 


*Tip 

You can install Shower Power on either end depending on your preference. It can be at the base of the hose OR at the end of the hose, attached to the showerhead.


Step 1 - Unbox Shower Power and remove the speaker from the dock

Rotate the speaker 90 degrees counterclockwise to separate it from the dock. Set the speaker and dock aside. 

 

Step 2 - Remove your showerhead from the fitting

Unscrew the showerhead. You can usually do this by hand but may need a pair of pliers if it was installed too tightly. 

 

Step 3 - Install the male-male connector on the appropriate side

Shower Power is not bidirectional so it is critical to determine which side of Shower Power is input and which side is output. There is a sticker that indicates the input side (this can be removed after the first use). For additional confirmation and future checks, the hole on the input side is smaller. As such, the turbine will be more visible on the output side. In addition, there is a small metal sensor on the output side. 

 

Rain and Fixed 

For these shower types, the male-male connector will go on the output side (the side that connects to the showerhead). First, screw in the male-male connector by hand and then tighten it with the hex key. 


Handheld

For these shower types, the male-male connector will go on the input side (the side that connects to the hose). First, screw in the male-male connector by hand and then tighten it with the hex key. 


Step 4 - Connecting your showerhead to the shower dock

Attach your showerhead to the shower dock. Connect securely but don’t overtighten. If you noticed that your showerhead/fitting already used sealing tape, you may want to use it at this stage of the installation process. 

 

*Tip for handheld showers

If the showerhead is not oriented in the direction you want then you can add a rubber O-ring inside the output threads on Shower Power. Use the thinner rings for smaller adjustments and the thicker rings for larger adjustments. You can use multiple if necessary.

 

Step 5 - Connect shower dock + showerhead to the shower fitting 

Finally, connect the shower dock, with the showerhead now attached, to the shower fitting. 

 

*Tip for rain and fixed showers

If the showerhead is not oriented in the direction you want then you can add a rubber O-ring inside the output threads on Shower Power. Use the thinner rings for smaller adjustments and the thicker rings for larger adjustments. You can use multiple if necessary.


Step 6 - Connect the speaker (aka Droplet Pro) to the shower dock

Align the bump in the underside of the shower dock with the groove on the top of the speaker (Droplet Pro). The Ampere logo will be facing the same direction as flow of water when and you should feel the bump go into the groove. Then, rotate the speaker 90 degrees. You will feel it “lock” into place and the Ampere logo will be perfectly centered along the side of Shower Power. 

 


Congratulations! Now you are ready to rock n’ roll.

Troubleshooting

It’s leaking! What do I do?

The first thing to check is if you screwed in Shower Power tight enough. The next solution is to try adding rubber O-rings to the female ends of the connection. Another solution is to use the included thread sealing tape to make the connection tighter. Wrap the sealing tape around the threads in a counterclockwise direction for a better seal. 


What do I do if Shower Power is not pointed in the direction I want?

If the showerhead is not oriented in the direction you want then you can add a rubber O-ring inside the output threads on Shower Power. Use the thinner rings for smaller adjustments and the thicker rings for larger adjustments. You can use multiple if necessary. You can also use the included thread sealing tape to prevent leakage and screw to your preferred direction.
