Main Shut-Off
The water supply to your home can be shut-off entirely at your main shutoff valve. We will point
out the location during your initial orientation.
Porcelain
You can damage porcelain enamel by either scratching or hitting it. Do not stand in the bathtub
wearing shoes unless you have placed a protective layer of newspaper/plastic over the bottom of
the tub. If you splatter paint onto the porcelain enamel surfaces during redecorating, wipe it up
immediately. If a spot dries before you notice it, use a recommended solvent.
Running Toilet
To stop running water, check the shut-off float in the tank. You will most likely find it has lifted too
high in the tank, preventing the valve from shutting off completely. In this case, gently bend the
float rod down until it stops the water at the correct level. The float should be free and not rub the
side of the tank or any other parts. Also check the chain on the flush handle. If it is too tight, it will
prevent the rubber stopper at the bottom of the tank from sealing, resulting in running water.
Shower Diverter
The shower must be turned off using the shower handle – not the diverter.
Shut-Offs
Each toilet has a shut-off on the water line under the tank. Hot and cold shut-offs for each sink are
on the water lines under the sink.
Stainless Steel
Clean stainless steel sinks with soap and water to preserve their luster. Avoid using abrasive
cleaners or steel wool pads, as these will damage the finish. Prevent bleach from coming into
prolonged contact with the sink as it can pit the surface. An occasional cleaning with a good
stainless steel cleaner will enhance the finish. Rub in the direction of the polish or grain lines and
dry the sink to prevent water spots.
Avoid leaving produce on a stainless steel surface, since prolonged contact can stain the finish.
Also avoid using the sink as a cutting board; sharp knives will gouge the finish.
Local water conditions affect the appearance of stainless steel. A white film can develop on the
sink if you have over-softened water or water with a high concentration of minerals. In hard water
areas, a brown surface stain can form appearing like rust.
Tank Care
Avoid exposing the toilet to blows from sharp or heavy objects, which can cause chipping or
cracking. Avoid abnormal pressures against the sides of the tank. It is possible to crack the tank at
the points where it is attached to the bowl.
Temperature
Expect temperatures to vary if water is used in more than one location in the home at the exact
same time.
