Common Concerns Answered
Will the plastic cap become brittle over time?
While UV exposure can affect plastic components, the Scandvik cap is designed for marine use. Regular cleaning and avoiding prolonged direct sunlight when not in use can help preserve its integrity. It is designed to provide a watertight seal for immediate use.
Do I need special adapters for the water connection?
The shower features a 3/8 in. BSP-F water connection. It is advisable to verify your existing boat plumbing's connection type; adapters may be required depending on your specific system setup to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
Can the hose kink easily?
The 6-foot nylon hose requires careful management during use and storage to prevent kinking, which can impede water flow. Coiling the hose loosely after each use and ensuring it is properly stowed will maximize its lifespan and functionality.
