FAQs
What is the main advantage of a concealed shower set?
The main advantage is a clean, minimalist aesthetic as the main valve and plumbing are hidden within the wall, reducing visual clutter.
Does this set include a bathtub spout?
No, this is a shower-only set and does not include a bathtub spout. It is designed purely for shower functionality.
How do I clean the brush gold finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the special enamel coating.
What is the warranty period for this shower set?
The Rea Concealed Shower Set comes with a 24-month warranty.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, due to its concealed (flush-mounted) design, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended.
What does 'Anti-Calc' mean for the nozzles?
Anti-Calc nozzles have a special surface that helps prevent limescale buildup, making them easier to clean and maintain, especially in hard water areas.
Can I switch between the overhead shower and handset?
Yes, the set features a 2-way control valve that allows you to easily switch between the overhead rain shower and the hand shower.
Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from showerhead or handset
Check if the control valve is fully open. Ensure the inlet hoses are not kinked. Clean the Anti-Calc nozzles on the showerhead and handset. Verify that the water supply to the shower is adequate and that no other fixtures are drawing significant amounts of water simultaneously.
Inconsistent water temperature
Ensure the thermostatic valve is correctly installed and calibrated. Check for any obstructions in the hot or cold water supply lines. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may require servicing or replacement.
Difficulty switching between shower outlets
Confirm that the 2-way control valve is operating smoothly. There may be debris or a fault within the valve mechanism. Ensure the external handle is securely attached and functioning correctly.
Water leaks from the wall or trim
This usually indicates an issue with the concealed installation. The seals around the valve box or trim plates may be compromised. Professional inspection and repair are required to access and fix the internal connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a concealed (flush-mounted) shower system, requiring professional installation. The process involves installing the included valve box within the wall cavity, connecting water supply lines, and then mounting the external trim pieces. Ensure your plumbing is compatible with standard shower valve connections. The included instructions and installation box simplify the process for a qualified plumber.
Compatibility:
The Rea Lungo set is designed to be compatible with standard UK/EU plumbing systems. It requires a minimum water pressure to function optimally (refer to manufacturer's guidelines for specific requirements). This model is a shower-only set and does not include a spout for bathtub filling.
Care:
To maintain the pristine finish of your Brush Gold shower set, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the enamel coating. For the Anti-Calc nozzles, gently rub them with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any mineral deposits. Wipe down all visible components after each use to prevent water spots.
