FAQs
What is PVD finishing?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a process that creates a thin, hard coating on metal that is significantly more durable and scratch-resistant than standard plating.
Can I use harsh cleaners on the brushed gold finish?
No, you should avoid bleach, ammonia, or abrasive scrubbing pads as they can strip the PVD finish. Use only mild soap and water.
What does the bidet-style spray do?
It provides a more focused, high-pressure water stream compared to the main rain shower, useful for cleaning or personal hygiene.
Is this shower set compatible with all water heaters?
Yes, it is designed to work with most standard domestic hot water systems, provided your system meets the minimum pressure requirements.
How do I maintain the anti-limescale nozzles?
Simply rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a cloth while the water is running to break up and flush out any calcium buildup.
Troubleshooting
Weak water pressure from the shower head
Check the filter washers for debris and ensure the anti-limescale nozzles are clean by rubbing them with your thumb.
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure no debris has entered the ceramic cartridge during installation; if it persists, you may need to flush the supply lines.
Water dripping from the shower head after turning off
This is often normal as residual water drains from the pipe; if it continues for a long duration, check the integrity of the cartridge seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Rea Rivo Shower Set is designed for a standard wall-mounted configuration. Ensure that your plumbing rough-in is correctly positioned before tiling or finishing your wall surfaces. Because this is a high-quality finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh acidic cleaners, which can dull the brushed gold luster. Instead, clean the unit regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution. To maintain the functionality of the anti-limescale nozzles, occasionally run your thumb over the rubber tips to dislodge any mineral deposits caused by hard water.
