FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower head?

The B&Q Contemporary Universal DX103 requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar for optimal high-pressure performance.

What materials is the shower head made from?

It is constructed from chromium-plated metal and ABS plastic.

Does this product come with a shower hose?

No, the product information states that only the shower head is included in the contents. A separate shower hose is required.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For limescale, use a mild vinegar solution, rinse, and dry.

What is the warranty period?

The product is supplied with a 6-month manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing defects. This warranty has specific exclusions.

Can I use this shower head with a low-pressure system?

This shower head is designed for high-pressure systems (minimum 1.0 bar). It may not function effectively or at all with low-pressure systems.

What does 'single-function' mean?

Single-function means the shower head has one spray pattern, providing a consistent water flow without multiple settings like massage or mist.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very weak flow

Check that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1.0 bar. Ensure the shower hose is securely connected and not kinked. Inspect the shower head's internal filter for blockages.

Water leaks from connection point

Ensure the thread is properly aligned and the connection is hand-tightened. If necessary, use plumber's tape on the hose thread and re-tighten gently. Do not overtighten.

Uneven spray pattern

The nozzles may be blocked by limescale. Gently clean the nozzles with a soft brush or a descaling solution as per the care instructions.
