FAQs

What type of plumbing system is this shower set compatible with?

The Rennes shower set is compatible with most UK standard plumbing systems, including combi boilers, gravity-fed systems, and unvented hot water systems, provided the water pressure meets the manufacturer's requirements.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.

What is the purpose of the non-return valves?

The non-return valves prevent water from flowing backward into the system, which helps to avoid cross-contamination between hot and cold water lines and protects the shower mechanism.

How often should I clean the filters?

It is recommended to check and clean the filters every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water or if you notice a reduction in water flow.

What happens if the cold water supply fails?

In the event of a cold water supply failure, the shower set is designed with an automatic shut-off feature that will stop the water flow to prevent scalding.

Is the 250mm showerhead detachable?

The 250mm square head is typically fixed as part of the overhead shower arm assembly for a rainfall effect and is not designed to be detachable for handheld use. Please refer to the product manual for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuating.

Check that the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no blockages in the filters or showerhead. Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are balanced and at adequate pressure.

Low water flow from the showerhead.

Clean the filters located on the inlet connections of the valve. Unscrew and clean the showerhead itself to remove any limescale buildup. Check for kinks or blockages in the pipework.

Water continues to run after cold water supply failure.

This is unlikely if the automatic shut-off is functioning correctly. Ensure the shut-off mechanism is not obstructed and that the cold water supply issue has been resolved.

Matte black finish is dull or discolored.

You may be using abrasive cleaning products. Switch to a soft cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consult the care instructions for approved cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This shower set is designed for concealed installation, meaning the main valve and pipework will be hidden within the wall. It is essential to follow the detailed installation manual provided by Nes Home. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. Pressure testing of the system before final tiling is recommended.

Compatibility: The Rennes shower set uses UK standard size fittings. It is compatible with most standard UK domestic plumbing systems, including combi boilers, gravity-fed systems, and unvented hot water systems. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance (refer to the manufacturer's minimum/maximum pressure requirements).

Care: To maintain the matte black finish, clean the shower set regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For internal components like filters, refer to the manual for periodic cleaning instructions to ensure consistent water flow and protect the thermostatic mechanism. Descale the showerhead periodically using a mild descaling solution if water hardness is an issue.
