FAQs

What is included in the Hudson Reed Destiny Shower Kit?

The kit includes the shower head, handset, 1.5m shower flex, and a concealed outlet elbow with a diverter. Concealed valves and other necessary plumbing fittings are sold separately.

Does this kit come with the valve and controls?

No, this kit is designed to be used with concealed valves, which are not included. You will need to purchase these separately.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

A minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar is required for optimal performance of this shower kit.

How long is the manufacturer's guarantee?

Hudson Reed offers a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, excluding consumable parts and damage from improper installation or use.

Can I use this in a low-pressure system?

This shower kit requires a minimum of 1.0 bar pressure and is not suitable for low-pressure gravity-fed systems without a suitable booster pump.

What is the warranty coverage for working parts like washers and seals?

Any working parts, such as washers and seals, are covered by a 6-month warranty unless stated longer, as they are expected to be replaced periodically.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ensure you dry the surface afterwards to prevent water spots.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or low pressure

Check that the concealed valve is fully open and that your water system meets the minimum 1.0 bar pressure requirement. Ensure no kinks are present in the shower hose and that the shower head and handset are not blocked by limescale.

Diverter not switching between functions

The diverter mechanism may require attention. Ensure it is not stiff and that there are no obstructions. If the issue persists, the valve cartridge within the diverter may need servicing or replacement.

Leaking from connections

Verify that all connections, especially where the shower hose connects to the handset and outlet elbow, are securely tightened. Check that any rubber seals or washers are present and in good condition. Professional installation is recommended to prevent leaks.

Chrome finish tarnishing or discolouring

This can sometimes occur with prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or improper cleaning. Use only mild soap and a soft cloth for cleaning. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaning agents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, minimalist design enhances bathroom aesthetics.
  • Durable construction with chrome-plated brass components.
  • Comprehensive kit including essential parts like the riser, handset, and hose.
  • Long 20-year manufacturer guarantee provides excellent value and reliability.
  • Easy to clean with a stain and rust-resistant finish.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of concealed valves, adding to the overall cost and installation complexity.
  • Unsuitable for commercial use.
  • Installation may require professional expertise due to the concealed valve system.
  • Guarantee excludes consumable parts like seals and washers, and damage from improper installation.
  • Minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar is required, potentially limiting use in low-pressure systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This kit requires installation by a qualified plumber. Ensure that the concealed valve (sold separately) is correctly installed and connected to your hot and cold water supply lines. The rigid riser, shower head, handset, and concealed outlet elbow with diverter should be securely mounted to the wall according to the provided instructions.

Compatibility: The system is compatible with standard 15mm (1/2" BSP) pipe sizes and requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar. It is designed to be used with concealed valves, which must be purchased separately. Please verify that your existing plumbing can support these requirements.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the shower kit with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth. Ensure the handset and shower head are periodically checked for limescale buildup and cleaned as needed.
