    Is it for rotating the head for different patterns 🤔

    The little button on the side flush with the body of the showerhead is for releasing the showerhead plate for cleaning. It's a bit fiddly but you have to line up the spray pattern lever with it, then push it in. Keeping it pushed in, move the spray pattern past it clockwise until you feel a click, then the plate should lift off.

    Worked a treat, you can see that my exactly 3 year old (+shower) head is perfectly clean, we have fantastic water here in my area in Cork, I still have a Santon Immersion still working perfectly which I installed 2 days after moving in here, then a new house, in October 1972.

    Just a word of caution, if the face plate has been removed for cleaning like above, when its replaced, make sure to rotate the face plate (with its lever) anticlockwise to its full stop at 4 oclock, otherwise its not fully locked in and may become detached while showering as one of my grown up children found out on one of theirs after cleaning it. Its quite easy to check if properly locked in, you will not be able to rotate it past the unlocking button, position 5 at 8 oclock. If you havn't wound it back to position 1, 4 oclock, then you will be able to rotate it clockwise to a 9 oclock (not locked) position. Pos1=4oclock, Pos2=5oclock, Pos3=6 oclock , Pos4=7oclock & Pos5=8oclock. This showerhead is common to a lot of Triton models, I would think.

    As always, when all else fails, read the instruction manual.
