Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Milano Arvo thermostatic shower features a concealed valve, meaning it is designed for in-wall installation. Professional plumbing expertise is recommended for a safe and correct setup to ensure all connections are secure and the valve is properly integrated into the wall. The shower head and arm, along with the hand shower and controls, are then mounted to the wall.
Compatibility: This shower system is compatible with all standard UK plumbing systems, including conventional, gravity-fed, combi-boiler, and pumped systems. No specific pressure requirements are listed, but optimal performance is typically achieved with adequate water pressure.
Care: To maintain the shower's chrome finish and ensure longevity:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the shower head and valve with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove water droplets and prevent limescale buildup.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for chrome fixtures. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the surfaces, and wipe gently.
- Nozzle Maintenance: Periodically rub the silicone nozzles firmly to dislodge any mineral deposits. If stubborn buildup occurs, a solution of diluted white vinegar can be used; soak a cloth in the solution and gently wipe the nozzles, then rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the chrome plating and underlying materials.
