Product Information

Full details

This Hudson Reed 400mm square fixed shower head in polished chrome is ideal for users seeking a minimalist, large-format shower experience, particularly those with low-pressure systems. Its primary benefit is providing a spacious and calming shower due to its generous size and single spray pattern designed for optimal flow in such conditions. A key consideration is that the shower arm, handset, and outlet elbow are sold separately, requiring additional purchases for a complete setup. Key features include its durable stainless steel construction, sleek square design, and suitability for low-pressure water systems.

FAQs

What items are included with the Hudson Reed 400mm shower head?

The package includes the shower head only. The shower arm, handset, and outlet elbow are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the shower head.

Is this shower head suitable for all water pressure systems?

This shower head is specifically designed for low-pressure systems, with an operating pressure of 0.5. While it is designed to perform well in these conditions, extremely low or zero pressure may still result in reduced performance.

What is the warranty period for this shower head?

Hudson Reed provides a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials. However, this guarantee excludes certain conditions such as damage caused during fitting, improper use, negligence, general wear and tear, and discoloration from UV exposure. Working parts are covered for 6 months unless stated otherwise.

How do I clean and maintain the polished chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals. For limescale, use a mild descaler and rinse thoroughly. Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight or UV light.

Can I install this shower head myself?

The shower head is designed for wall/surface mounting and can be installed by the user if they have basic plumbing knowledge and follow the provided instructions carefully. However, extra care is needed to avoid damaging fittings. If you are unsure, it is recommended to use a professional plumber.

Does this shower head offer different spray patterns?

No, this model features a single spray pattern, which is optimized for performance in low-pressure systems and provides a consistent, wide coverage.

What material is the shower head made from?

The shower head is manufactured from durable stainless steel with a polished chrome finish.

Troubleshooting

Shower head is not delivering adequate water flow.

Ensure the operating pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5. Check that the shower arm and any connecting pipes are not blocked or kinked. Ensure the shower head itself is clean and free from limescale buildup.

Water is dripping from the shower head when not in use.

This can sometimes occur with low-pressure systems. Ensure the main water supply is fully turned off. If the dripping persists, there might be an issue with the internal valve or seal, which may be covered under the warranty for the first 6 months for working parts.

The polished chrome finish appears dull or discolored.

This may be due to mineral deposits or residue. Clean the shower head using a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for chrome finishes. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or UV light, which can cause discoloration over time.

Difficulty during installation.

Refer to the manufacturer's specific installation instructions. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned before tightening. If damage occurs during fitting, it may not be covered by the warranty. Consider consulting a professional plumber if you are unsure.

Care Instructions:

  1. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
  3. For limescale build-up, use a mild descaler solution and wipe clean. Ensure any excess descaler is thoroughly rinsed off.
  4. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
