Product Information

Full details

The Ideal Standard Alero Hand Shower is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and relaxing shower experience with an emphasis on water efficiency. Its elegant design complements modern bathrooms, while the EasyClean function simplifies maintenance. A potential consideration is that it is a single-function shower, meaning fewer spray pattern options than multi-function models.

Does the Alero hand shower come with a hose and bracket?

What finishes are available for the Alero hand shower?

Is this a single-function or multi-function shower head?

The Ideal Standard Alero Hand Shower is a single-function shower head, providing a consistent and reliable spray pattern.

Can I remove the flow limiter if I want more water flow?

It is not recommended to remove the integrated flow limiter. It is designed for water efficiency and compliance with environmental standards, and altering it may affect performance and void warranty.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure or uneven spray

Check for limescale buildup on the nozzles and wipe them clean using the EasyClean function. Ensure the shower hose is not kinked and that the flow rate limiter has not been tampered with. Check for blockages within the shower hose or valve.

Leaking connection at the hose

Ensure the connection between the hand shower and the hose is secure. Check the rubber washer inside the hose connector for damage or absence. Hand-tighten the connection, and if necessary, use pliers for a slight additional turn, avoiding overtightening.

Finish appears dull or stained

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For stubborn marks, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific cleaning agents suitable for the finish (e.g., Matt Black or Chrome).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Alero hand shower is designed for universal compatibility and typically screws onto standard shower hoses. Ensure the hose is securely attached to the shower valve and the hand shower. Hand-tighten first, then use pliers for a quarter turn if needed, being careful not to overtighten.

Compatibility: This hand shower is compatible with all standard shower hoses and most shower brackets. It is recommended to use with an Ideal Standard shower hose and bracket for optimal performance and aesthetic matching. Check the connection size of your existing hose; it should be a standard 1/2" connection.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Alero hand shower:

  1. Cleaning Nozzles: Regularly wipe the silicone nozzles with a damp cloth to remove any limescale residue. This activates the EasyClean function.
  2. General Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shower head with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the finish.
  3. Periodic Flush: Occasionally, unscrew the hand shower from the hose and let hot water run through it for a minute to clear any internal debris.
