FAQs
Does this shower head include a shower arm?
No, this product is the shower head only. You will need to purchase a compatible shower arm separately.
Is this shower head suitable for low-pressure systems?
Performance depends on your specific plumbing. Generally, a 200mm head performs best with balanced, moderate water pressure.
How do I clean mineral deposits from the nozzles?
Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your thumb or a soft cloth to break up scale. If buildup is severe, soak in a vinegar solution.
Can I use abrasive cleaners on the brushed brass finish?
No, never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acidic chemicals, as they will permanently damage the brass finish.
Is the finish a perfect match for other brands?
Brushed brass finishes can vary between manufacturers. For the best aesthetic results, we recommend using Balterley brassware throughout your shower area.
Troubleshooting
Low or uneven water flow
Check the shower head for mineral buildup. Unscrew the head and soak the nozzles in a 50/50 water and white vinegar solution to dissolve deposits.
Leaking at the connection point
Ensure the connection is tightened sufficiently. If it continues to leak, remove the head and re-apply thread seal tape to the shower arm threads.
Water spots or finish dulling
Wipe the surface with a damp soft cloth after each use to remove water droplets. For stubborn spots, use a mild, pH-neutral soap solution.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant brushed brass finish complements modern bathroom interiors
- Slimline construction reduces weight and visual clutter
- Corrosion-resistant materials for long-term reliability
- Wide 200mm spray area provides consistent coverage
Cons
- Fixed position lacks the flexibility of a handheld shower head

- The brushed brass finish may show water spots if not wiped dry regularly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this fixed head is straightforward. It features a standard threaded connection designed to screw onto most universal shower arms. Before installation, ensure your existing shower arm is properly sealed with plumbers tape to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This head is compatible with standard half-inch BSP shower arms. If you are matching this to existing brassware, ensure your other fixtures are also finished in 'Brushed Brass' to maintain a consistent color profile.
Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance of the finish, use only mild soapy water and a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid the use of abrasive scouring pads, harsh chemical cleaners, or bleach, as these can damage the brushed brass coating and promote premature corrosion.
