Hi,
we installed a square rain shower from IdealStandard. Lately, it has started dripping on its own more often. The last use was easily 12 hours ago. Sometimes only one of the outlets drips, sometimes several.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Cheers
Martin

the solution could be to tilt the showerhead after use.
If air enters at the top edge, water can exit at the bottom.
This way, air also enters the shower arm more quickly.

My bathroom planner also recommended tilting the showerhead so that the remaining water can drain out.

Sorry..... it was already pointed out
That’s what happens when you jump in without reading everything.

It's nice to be confirmed by a professional.

After showering, we pull the water off the walls and floor toward the drain. Maximum duration: 2 minutes. This helps the shower area dry much faster and reduces the risk of unsightly water stains, limescale (our water is unfortunately very hard), and potential mold growth.

This has been discussed before—we also pull water off our tiles, and finally wipe the fixtures dry with a damp towel. It takes less than a minute and saves a lot of time and money on weekly cleaning and limescale removal, which then becomes unnecessary.

I know – one or two days in advance.
However, if someone asks me something like, "Why on earth are you going through all this effort?" I don’t want to leave them without an answer.
