Its key benefit is the combination of sleek, modern design with durable, high-quality materials, offering a luxurious showering experience. A potential caveat is that concealed installations require specific plumbing knowledge and may necessitate professional help.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this shower set?
The Rea Lungo Black Concealed Shower Set comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Is this shower set suitable for a low-pressure water system?
While the set will function, optimal performance, especially from the rain shower, is best achieved with adequate water pressure. It is designed for standard residential water systems.
Can I replace just the rain showerhead with a different size?
The rain showerhead is part of the system, and while the connection is standard (1/2 inch), replacing it with a different size or type might affect the overall water flow balance and appearance. Consult a professional if considering modifications.
Does the set include the rough-in valve for concealed installation?
The description mentions 'mixer with exposed and concealed elements' and 'point set', which typically implies the necessary internal components are included for a concealed setup. However, the specific rough-in valve part might be sold separately or integrated within the mixer body; verification with the manufacturer or installer is advised.
How do I clean the black matte finish without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals.
What are the dimensions of the rain showerhead?
The rain showerhead is circular and 30cm in diameter.
Is a thermostatic valve included in this set?
No, this set does not include a thermostatic valve. Temperature control is managed via the standard mixer.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from showerhead or handset
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the filters within the connections are clean and not blocked. Verify that the hose and showerhead are not kinked. Check for any potential blockages within the concealed mixer if accessible.
Water temperature is inconsistent
As this set does not feature a thermostatic valve, some temperature fluctuation is normal with changes in water usage elsewhere in the house. Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly and set to an appropriate temperature. Allow a few moments for the temperature to stabilize after initial use.
Leaking from connections or fixtures
Ensure all connections are tightened appropriately. If leaks persist, especially from concealed parts, professional plumbing assistance may be required to inspect seals and pipework within the wall.
Finish appears dull or discolored
Clean the surface using only a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the product is dried after use to prevent water spots from etching the finish over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a concealed shower set, meaning the main mixing valve and associated pipework are installed within the wall cavity. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper sealing and adherence to plumbing codes. The set requires standard 1/2 inch shower connections.
Compatibility:
The system is compatible with standard UK/EU water supply systems. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance of the rain showerhead. It is designed for wall-mounted installation.
Care:
To maintain the black matte finish:
- Wipe the surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the enamel coating.
- For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Dry the surfaces after each use to prevent water spots.
- The Anti-Calc nozzles can be gently rubbed to dislodge any mineral deposits.
