Free Standing Pool Shower Installation Instructions

1. Select a position for your Pool Shower away from powerlines & power points. Shower Height is 2 mtrs.

2. Run plumbing underground using ½” poly or copper tube, bring plumbing pipe or pipes out of the

ground approximately 4” (100mm) in the centre of the position of the shower. If shower position is beside a wall

please position pipe work 200mm away from the wall to allow for the shower to be cleaned.

(The shower has a 250mm round or square base) If using a Hot & Cold Water shower the Hot water should be

tempered to max.55 deg (Council Regulations) the showers do not have a tempering device.

3. Concrete or pave a level area approximately 400mm or bigger for the shower to be secured to.

(Note: Pavers should be bedded in cement to add weight and stability)

Pipes should have lagging or protection from concrete (some plumbers use a short piece 90mm stormwater

pipe to protect the pipes. Flush pipes with water to remove any dirt or pipe filings, these will effect

performance of your shower.

4. Cut the pipes to the desired length staggering the Hot & Cold pipes to make it easier to connect to flexiconnectors.

Using compression fittings (1/2” C x MI Union) for copper or Tita fittings (1/2”P x MI Connector) for

poly connect pipe work to the ½” FI Flexi-connectors hanging out of the base of the shower.

Note: Hot & Cold are marked with Red Tape (Hot) and Blue Tape (Cold)

5. When tightening to flexi-connectors no thread tape is required. Hand tighten then nip (½ turn) with

spanner. Hoses will push inside shower when in upright position. Turn shower on to check for leaks!

6. Position shower in your preferred direction, mark & drill holes using a 10mm Masonry drill (12mm Drill

for Beach Showers). To take out looseness or unevenness in shower, use silicone between shower base and

concrete or paving. Tap in Dynabolts S/S supplied with a hammer gently and tighten with spanner.

7. Clean your new Pool Shower with a Hillmark Steelkleen stainless steel wipe.(Supplied with fix kit)

The wipes are designed to remove finger prints and water marks, and prevent brown staining. Should light

scratching occur, use a Scotch Brite green pot scourer and rub up & down the shower, in the direction of the

grain (not across the grain). Please be aware we use structural stainless steel and sometimes there are flaws or

scratches in the tube. We do our best to try to remove these before manufacture.

8. For easy maintenance of your Pool Shower, wipe over regularly with Hillmark Steelkleen spray

(purchased through most supermarkets). We use 316 Stainless Steel which doesn’t rust.

If a brown staining occurs use a Scotch Brite and liquid dishwashing detergent as per instruction no.7 then rinse

with clean water The Tapware used on the shower is plated brass & pitting may occur in high salt or dusty

areas. (Do not use Scotch Brite on tapware as scratching will occur.) Regular cleaning helps prevent pitting &

staining and we suggest Hillmark Steelkleen spray also.


Thankyou for purchasing a Rainware Pool Shower. Your shower is now ready to use.

Please note: If shower is installed within 1200mm (4’) of the pool water please connect earth wire supplied.

A qualified electrician must do connection as per AS3000 Electrical Code.

Warning: If the shower is in direct sunlight this could cause the water held in the shower or garden

hose connecting the shower to heat up and cause scalding. Please ensure before using the shower to

let water run for a few moments to washout any overheated water.
