Product Information
Full details
This Hudson Reed fixed shower head is designed for homeowners seeking a modern and durable upgrade to their showering experience. Its key benefit is the dual spray functionality, offering both a waterfall and a standard spray for versatile use. A primary consideration is that it requires a compatible diverter valve and a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar to operate effectively. Manufactured from stainless steel and brass with a polished chrome finish, it promises longevity and style, featuring a flexible flow option and a 20-year guarantee.

What is included with the shower head?

How do I clean the shower head?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild vinegar solution periodically and rinse thoroughly.
What size is the water inlet connection?
The shower head connects via a standard 15mm (1/2") inlet.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow or pressure
Ensure the minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Check for blockages in the shower head nozzles or within the connected pipework. Verify that the diverter valve is fully open and functioning correctly. Clean any accumulated limescale from the nozzles.
Water leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply. Re-check all threaded connections and ensure they are securely tightened. Apply or refresh PTFE tape on all male threads before re-connecting. If leaks persist, inspect the valve and fittings for damage.
Unable to switch between spray modes
Confirm that a compatible diverter valve is installed and functioning. Ensure the diverter mechanism is not stiff or blocked. Operate the diverter slowly and firmly. If the issue persists, the diverter valve may need servicing or replacement.
Waterfall or spray pattern is uneven
Gently clean the individual nozzles with a soft brush or a cloth soaked in a mild descaling solution (like vinegar). Ensure there are no obstructions within the shower head outlets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wall-mounted shower head connects to your existing plumbing via a standard 15mm (1/2") inlet. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation. Securely attach the shower arm (if not integrated) and then the shower head. It is crucial to use PTFE tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks. Remember, a diverter valve is required to switch between the waterfall and spray functions, and this must be installed as part of the system.
Compatibility: This shower head is designed to work with twin, triple, or quad valves that include a diverter. It requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar. It is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the shower head with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used periodically, followed by a rinse with clean water.
