Yes, the kit comes supplied with an 8L/min flow limiter to help conserve water.

What is the length of the shower hose?

The shower hose included in the kit is 2 meters (2000mm) long.

How long is the manufacturer's warranty?

Can I replace the single-function handset with a multi-function one?

Yes, as long as the replacement handset has a standard 1/2" BSP connection, it should be compatible with the 2m hose provided.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow

Check if the flow limiter is installed correctly. Ensure the shower hose and handset are not kinked. Verify water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.2 Bar). Clean the handset nozzles using the rub-clean feature.

Leaking connections

Ensure all threaded connections (hose to valve, hose to handset) are securely tightened. Check if any washers or seals are damaged or missing and replace if necessary.

Handset not staying in bracket

Ensure the handset is fully inserted into the bracket. Check if the bracket is securely fixed to the wall and not loose. Some brackets have adjustment screws to tighten grip.

Shower head emits uneven spray

Use the rub-clean feature on the handset nozzles to clear any limescale or debris. If the issue persists, the handset may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit for a complete shower upgrade.
  • Works across a wide range of water pressures.
  • Easy to clean handset with anti-limescale properties.
  • Durable and aesthetically pleasing chrome finish.
  • Water-saving flow limiter included.
  • Long 2m hose for user convenience.

Cons

  • Single-function handset limits spray pattern options.
  • May require additional plumbing adjustments for some installations.
  • Flow limiter might reduce pressure noticeably in very low-pressure systems.
  • No integrated temperature control (relies on the shower valve).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The kit is designed for straightforward installation. It typically connects to an existing shower valve outlet. Ensure the old hose and handset are removed. Attach the new 2m hose to the shower valve and the handset. Use the adjustable fixing brackets to mount the handset holder on the wall, aligning it with existing drill holes where possible or creating new ones as needed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for securing the brackets and tightening connections to prevent leaks.

Compatibility: This shower kit is compatible with most standard UK shower systems, including gravity-fed (minimum 0.2 Bar) and high-pressure systems such as combination boilers (maximum 5.0 Bar). It is designed to connect to standard 1/2" BSP shower valve outlets.

Care: To maintain the shower kit's appearance and performance, regularly clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. The rub-clean anti-limescale feature on the handset requires occasional gentle rubbing with a finger or cloth over the spray nozzles to dislodge any mineral deposits.
