FAQs
What is the main benefit of the "Silk Spray" function?
The "Silk Spray" function is designed to provide a soft, gentle, and relaxing water flow, enhancing the comfort of your shower.
How many spray functions does this shower head have?
The "Silk Spray" model features three distinct spray functions that users can easily switch between.
Is this shower head compatible with all shower hoses?
It features a universal ½” B.S.P. connection, which is standard for most shower hoses, ensuring broad compatibility.
How do I clean the shower head to prevent limescale?
The nozzles are designed to be 'rub clean'. Simply rub them with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge mineral buildup. Regular cleaning of the chrome finish with a damp cloth is also recommended.
Can I use this shower head with a power shower?
Yes, this shower head is designed to work with standard home water pressure systems, including those found with power showers.
What is the difference between this model and the Keila Aqua Air model?
The "Silk Spray" model offers three spray functions for customization. The Keila Aqua Air model, while also having a chrome finish, is a single-function, water-saving handset.
Does the shower head come with a shower hose?
This product is the shower head only. A compatible shower hose is required for installation and is typically sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure
Check if the shower head or hose is kinked. Clean the rub-clean nozzles. Ensure the water supply is adequate and that no other taps or appliances are drawing heavily on the water simultaneously. Verify the shower valve is fully open.
Water leaking from the connection
Ensure the shower head is securely attached to the hose. Check the rubber washer inside the connection is present and not damaged. Try re-tightening the connection slightly.
Spray pattern is uneven or blocked
Use your finger or a soft cloth to rub the rub-clean nozzles and clear any blockages. If the issue persists, the shower head may require soaking in a vinegar solution (following manufacturer guidance for soaking times and materials).
Difficulty switching between functions
Ensure the selector mechanism is clean. Gently try to move the selector back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant might be applied to the mechanism, but consult the manual first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
