Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from shower head
Check for blockages in the shower head nozzles (use the Anti-Calc feature) or the hose. Ensure the main water supply is fully open. Verify there are no kinks in the shower hose.
Difficulty adjusting height
Ensure the height adjustment mechanism is clean. Sometimes, mineral buildup can make adjustment stiff; try cleaning around the slider with a damp cloth. Do not force the adjustment.
Inconsistent water temperature
As this set does not have a thermostatic valve, temperature fluctuations can occur if other water fixtures are used. Manually readjust the temperature setting as needed. Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly and set to an appropriate temperature.
Leaks from connections
Check that all connections, particularly the 1/2 inch shower connection and hose fittings, are securely tightened. If leaks persist, the seals may need replacing, or professional installation might be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Installation:
The Rea Helix shower set is designed for wall surface mounting. It requires a standard 1/2 inch shower connection. While some DIY enthusiasts may find installation manageable, professional plumbing assistance is recommended to ensure a secure and leak-free setup. Ensure the water supply lines are correctly connected to the shower valve.
Compatibility:
This shower set is compatible with most standard bathroom plumbing systems due to its 1/2 inch connection. It is designed to work with standard hot and cold water supplies. Please ensure your existing shower valve can accommodate the connections.
Care:
To maintain the chrome finish and functionality:
- Wipe the surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and soap residue.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Periodically check the Anti-Calc nozzles and gently wipe them to ensure optimal water flow. A soft brush can be used if any calcification is visible, though the system is designed to minimize this.
