We have a 2017 Sunseeker Manhattan 55. The rain showers used to flow great, but now the flow has been reduced to a drip. Water pressure throughout the boat including the hand showers is very good, but when you pull the stopper to initiate the rain shower, there seems to be some sort of blockage, which is occuring the same way in both showers. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts on how to fix this? The rain shower is recessed in a ceiling panel, so not clear how to remove it. Thanks in advance.
I am assuming this is a gravity fed tank or tub that drains thru a bunch of holes over your head, emulating rain. Stuff (calcium like), in the potable water has clogged the tiny holes is my first swag. Without access to the back side of this panel or screen, not a clew how to clean or treat it. The MFG have any ideas? OneWater/Roscioli services these boats in the NE. Maybe give them a call or note. https://www.owyg.com/service/
I can't speak to Sunseeker's plumbing arrangements but when you have slow flowing water - such as a rain shower - calcium and lime can build up at the shower head jets because the pressure isn’t strong enough to blow out accumulative particulates. If the shower head is removable, try using a plastic bristle brush with some CLR (gloves on!) to clean it. There is also the possibility that a filter was installed inline before the head to soften the water. If so, this could be be a culprit too. When you find the solution, please post back to the thread.
Took a while, but finally figured this out. There is a small hex key opening in the middle of the rain shower head. This allows you to get the head off without disturbing the ceiling panel. There was a lot of calcium build up on the head and filter. Once that was cleared it is running great.
