Product Information
Full details
The Rea Arcos Low Washbasin Faucet is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a luxurious, contemporary aesthetic for vanity suites with under-counter basins or pre-drilled tap holes. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-end brushed copper finish with practical, fingerprint-resistant maintenance, though its low-profile design means it is specifically intended for compact setups rather than oversized basin bowls.

FAQs
Does the copper finish fade over time?
The brushed copper finish is designed for durability; however, it should be treated gently. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents to ensure the finish remains consistent.
Can I install this on a vessel basin?
This model has a low profile and is intended for undermount or inset basins. It will likely be too short for high-sided vessel basins.
What type of cleaning products are safe to use?
Use only warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft microfiber cloth to clean the faucet surface.
Is the faucet compatible with high-pressure systems?
The faucet is built with high-quality brass and a ceramic cartridge, making it suitable for standard residential water pressure systems.
Does the installation include the pop-up waste?
Please check your specific package contents, as the Arcos faucet typically focuses on the mixer body itself.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow from the spout
Unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and soak it in white vinegar to remove mineral or sediment buildup.
Handle feels stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the securing nut is not over-tightened; otherwise, the internal ceramic cartridge may need to be inspected or replaced if debris has entered the housing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated brushed copper finish resists visible water marks
- Sturdy brass construction ensures long-term durability
- Compact height fits perfectly in low-clearance or under-counter basin environments
- Ceramic cartridge provides smooth and accurate temperature regulation
- Minimalist aesthetic pairs well with natural materials like stone and timber
Cons
- Low-profile height is not suitable for deep or vessel-style basins
- Requires careful cleaning with non-abrasive products to preserve the finish
- Copper tone may require specific matching bathroom accessories for a cohesive look
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Rea Arcos is straightforward for standard tap holes. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and reinforced to support the weight of the brass body. Compatibility is limited to standard basins; ensure your basin depth and faucet hole location allow for adequate spout clearance. For care, use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the brushed copper finish. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can strip the protective matt layer. Regularly flush the aerator if you live in a hard water area to prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal flow.
