This document is the owner's manual for the Pulse Pipeline Outdoor Shower, Model #1065-MB (PW-91065-2525BM). It provides detailed instructions for installation, a list of included parts, and information regarding care, maintenance, and the manufacturer's limited warranty.

Function Description:

The Pulse Pipeline Outdoor Shower is designed for outdoor use, providing a convenient and stylish showering solution for various outdoor settings. It features a main showerhead, a handshower with a flexible hose, and a foot rinse, offering multiple options for showering and rinsing. The system is designed to connect to existing hot and cold water lines, allowing for temperature control. Its robust construction and design are intended for outdoor exposure, though specific winterization steps are recommended for colder climates.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific flow rates or pressure requirements are not detailed, the manual indicates the need for hot and cold water connections. The mounting base (Part 10) has dimensions of 5.7" x 5.7" and requires a hole to be dug for installation, with a suggested distance of 30" between the mounting base and the standing place. The mounting base itself has a height of 2.36" from the bottom line to the middle line, which is relevant for floor tile height during installation. The system uses 5mm Allen screws for assembly and securing components. The external hot and cold connectors (Part 17) facilitate the water supply. The unit includes flex hoses (Part 23) for internal connections.

Usage Features:

The outdoor shower offers a versatile showering experience with its multiple components:

Showerhead (Part 1): Provides a traditional overhead showering experience.
Handshower (Part 3) with Hose (Part 5): Allows for targeted rinsing and greater flexibility, useful for washing specific areas, pets, or objects. The handshower is held in a dedicated holder (Part 4).
Foot Rinse (Part 8): A dedicated outlet for rinsing feet, useful for cleaning off sand, dirt, or mud before entering a home or pool area.
Diverter/Diverter Handle (Part 6): Controls the flow of water to the different shower components (showerhead, handshower, foot rinse).
Valve/Valve Handle (Part 7): Controls the water temperature and flow for the entire unit.

The installation process emphasizes proper connection of hot and cold water pipes to the mounting base, ensuring no leaks. The design allows for a clean installation where the mounting base is integrated into the ground or deck, with the shower pipe extending upwards.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides clear guidelines for care and maintenance to ensure the longevity and appearance of the outdoor shower:

Regular Cleaning: Users are advised to blot dry any water from the surface after each use to prevent hard water stains and mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp, nonabrasive sponge and drying with a clean soft cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance.
Preventing Mineral Buildup: Periodical use of an auto spray wax is suggested to protect the ShowerSpa from hard water stains and mineral deposits.
Winterization (Freeze Care): This is a critical maintenance aspect for areas prone to freezing. The manual strongly recommends installing a 1/2" Full Port Press Ball Valve with a Drain to allow for complete drainage of the system, preventing internal damage from freezing water. A winter cover is also included and recommended for use. The warranty explicitly states that it does not cover damage caused by freezing, underscoring the importance of proper winterization. Users are advised to consult a professional plumber if they anticipate potential freezing conditions.

Installation Process Highlights:

The installation instructions are broken down into six steps:

Positioning and Digging: Confirm the position for the mounting base (10) and dig a hole based on its size, maintaining a suggested 30" distance from the standing place.
Mounting Base Preparation: Discard the mounting base cover and plugs, and cut any extra top part of the mounting base. Connect hot and cold water pipes to the mounting base, ensuring no leaks.
Mounting Base Securing: Ensure the mounting base is vertical and centered. Tighten it with metal screws (11). The floor tile level should be higher than the bottom line and lower than the middle line of the mounting base.
Connecting Shower Pipe (Bottom): Insert the bottom shower pipe (2) into the mounting base (10). Connect the bottom flange to the mounting base using four 5mm screws (6) and push down the bottom escutcheon (22).
Connecting Shower Pipe (Top) and Handshower: Insert the top shower pipe (1) into the bottom shower pipe (2). Connect the hex head end of the hose (5) to the swivel joint and the tapered end to the handshower (3). Place the tapered end of the hose into the handshower holder (4).
