FAQs
What is the warranty period for this shower set?
The Rea Concealed Shower Set comes with a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Does this set include the thermostatic valve?
No, this set includes the shower heads, hose, and trim pieces for a concealed installation. A separate thermostatic valve or mixer is required and not included.
How do I clean the Anti-Calc nozzles?
Gently rub the surface of the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to remove mineral deposits. For tougher buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be applied briefly, followed by rinsing with water.
Can this shower set be installed in any bathroom?
Yes, its universal design and standard connections make it compatible with most bathroom plumbing systems. However, it requires concealed installation, which may involve wall modifications.
What material is the shower set made of?
The shower set is primarily constructed from high-quality brass, ensuring durability. The visible elements are coated with a high-quality enamel for a chrome finish.
What are the dimensions of the rain shower head?
The rain shower head measures 25x25 cm.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from shower head
Check the shower head and hand shower for limescale buildup. Clean the Anti-Calc nozzles. Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open. Verify that there are no kinks or blockages in the shower hose.
Inconsistent water temperature
This is typically related to the connected thermostatic valve, not the shower set itself. Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly and properly adjusted. Check if other fixtures are being used simultaneously, which can affect temperature.
Visible corrosion or discoloration on the finish
Ensure only recommended cleaning agents (soft cloth, mild soap if necessary) are used. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Contact customer support if the issue persists, as it may indicate a manufacturing defect within the warranty period.
Hand shower drips after turning off
Allow a few moments for the system to fully drain. If dripping persists, there might be a slight issue with the valve sealing or pressure. Ensure the shower is fully turned off at the control handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This is a concealed shower set, meaning the main valve and plumbing connections are installed within the wall. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure proper mounting, leak-free connections, and integration with your existing water supply.
Compatibility:
- Connection Size: The shower connection is 1/2 inch, which is standard for most plumbing systems.
- Water System: Compatible with standard hot and cold water supply systems.
- Thermostatic Valve: Please note that a thermostatic valve is not included with this set. You will need to ensure your existing or newly installed valve provides safe and stable water temperatures.
Care:
- Clean the exterior surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the enamel coating.
- For the Anti-Calc nozzles, gently rub the surface to dislodge any mineral deposits. If stubborn buildup occurs, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Periodically check all connections for leaks, especially after initial installation or any maintenance.
