Product Information

Full details

The Ideal Standard ALU+ Ideal Rain Shower Set is an ideal solution for homeowners and renovators seeking to elevate their bathroom aesthetic with a modern, rose aluminium finish. Designed to offer a premium showering experience through dual-spray patterns, it excels in combining form with integrated utility via its clever storage shelf system; however, users should ensure their current plumbing system can support the specific 8L/min flow rate for optimal performance.

FAQs

What is the finish of this shower set?

The set features a striking rose aluminium finish.

Can I use this with a low-pressure gravity system?

The set is optimized for 3 bar pressure. Low-pressure systems may result in significantly reduced flow rates.

Does it include a shower head and a hose?

Yes, it includes a 100mm handset, a 1750mm hose, and a 600mm riser rail.

How many spray settings are available?

There are two spray settings: SilkRain and Rain.

Are the shelves removable?

The shelves are integrated into the riser rail system for stability and are intended to be kept in place for storage.

What is the flow rate of the unit?

The unit provides an efficient flow rate of 8L/min at 3 bar pressure.

Troubleshooting

Weak or uneven water flow

Check the handset for limescale buildup on the nozzles and ensure the shower hose is not kinked or obstructed.

Leaking at the hose connection

Verify that the rubber washers are correctly seated at both ends of the hose and tighten the connections by hand; avoid using heavy tools to prevent damage to the finish.

Shelves feel loose on the rail

Check the mounting tension on the riser rail brackets to ensure they are locked into the designated shelf support positions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Aesthetically pleasing rose aluminium finish
  • Space-saving integrated storage on the riser rail
  • Two distinct spray modes for varied showering preferences
  • High-quality build suitable for modern bathroom renovations

Cons

  • Fixed flow rate may not suit high-pressure systems without restriction adjustments
  • Specific finish requires careful cleaning to avoid scratching
  • Riser rail length may not accommodate all existing wall mounting points

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all seals are pressure-tested. The unit is designed for compatibility with standard UK plumbing setups, though it is vital to verify that your system operates near 3 bar pressure to achieve the advertised 8L/min efficiency.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the rose aluminium finish.
  • Wipe down with a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soapy water to prevent limescale buildup.
  • Periodically inspect the shower handset nozzles and wipe them with your thumb to dislodge any mineral deposits to maintain consistent spray patterns.
