Product Information
Full details
The Rea Ontario Shower Set in Brushed Gold is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a blend of high-end aesthetics and industrial durability. This surface-mounted unit features an advanced PVD coating, providing a scratch-resistant, fingerprint-hiding finish that maintains its elegant matte appearance over time. While it offers a spa-like showering experience with its generous rain shower head and versatile handset, potential buyers should note that surface-mounted systems require careful wall preparation to ensure all plumbing connections align correctly with existing water outlets.

FAQs
Does the PVD coating fade over time?
No, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology is specifically chosen for its extreme color durability and resistance to wear.
Can I install this on tiled walls?
Yes, it is designed for surface mounting, but ensure you use appropriate wall anchors for your specific tile and substrate type.
Is the hand shower adjustable?
Yes, the hand shower is designed for manual use and usually includes a height-adjustable bracket on the vertical bar.
How do I clean the brushed gold surface?
Use only a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid bleach, acid-based cleaners, and scrubbing brushes.
What is the primary benefit of the surface-mounted design?
It allows for a modern, industrial look without the need to tear into the wall to hide valves or pipes.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure
Check the flow restrictor or the inlet connections for debris that may have entered during installation.
Water leaking at connections
Ensure all rubber gaskets are seated correctly and tighten the coupling nuts firmly without over-torquing.
Limescale buildup on nozzles
Gently rub the soft silicone nozzles with your finger to dislodge mineral deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Rea Ontario set is designed for surface-mounting. Ensure your existing wall plumbing terminates in a standard configuration that aligns with the unit's entry points. Use a level during mounting to ensure the vertical bar is perfectly plumb. For care, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can compromise the PVD finish. Simply wipe down the set with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution after use to maintain its luster. Regularly check the silicone nozzles on the shower head to prevent mineral buildup.
