Product Description

Jaquar Hand Shower Health Faucet (Model Code: ALD-CHR-573) is a complete personal hygiene kit from Jaquar's Allied plumbing series, comprising an ergonomic trigger-control handset, a 1-metre chrome flexible hose, and a wall-mounted bracket — everything needed for a professional health faucet installation in a single box. With a rated flow of 11.65 LPM at 3 bar and an operating range of 1.0–3.0 bar, it delivers effective cleaning pressure across the full spectrum of Indian residential water supply conditions, including low-pressure apartments and overhead tank-fed systems where pressure rarely exceeds 1.5 bar.

Built from IS standard brass with ABS handset components and finished to Jaquar's professional chrome specification — 10.0 micron nickel base with 0.3 micron chrome top coat, validated to 500+ hours of salt spray corrosion resistance — the ALD-CHR-573 is engineered for long-term durability in the persistent humidity and hard water conditions of Indian bathrooms. The trigger-control mechanism allows precise, one-handed flow regulation, and the standard 1/2" connection fits all common Indian angle valves without adaptors. For users in water-scarce areas or those mindful of consumption, the kit is also available with flow regulators at 6.0, 8.0, or 3.8 LPM to reduce water use without sacrificing hygiene performance.

FAQs

1) Will this health faucet work in my apartment where water pressure is low?

Yes — the Jaquar ALD-CHR-573 has a minimum operating pressure of 1.0 bar, which is lower than the 1.5 bar minimum of many standard health faucets. This makes it suitable for top-floor apartments, overhead tank-fed systems, and other low-pressure scenarios common in Indian residential buildings. At 1.0 bar the flow will be below the rated 11.65 LPM, but sufficient for effective personal hygiene use. If your building regularly falls below 1.0 bar, a pressure booster pump may be needed regardless of which health faucet you install.

2) What is the difference between the GA-6.0, GB-8.0, and GD-3.8 LPM flow regulator options?

These are optional flow restrictor inserts that reduce the maximum flow rate from the standard 11.65 LPM to a controlled lower rate — 6.0, 8.0, or 3.8 LPM respectively. They are useful in buildings with metered water supply, water-scarce areas, or for households wanting to reduce bathroom water consumption without replacing the faucet. The standard kit ships without a flow regulator at full 11.65 LPM flow; regulators can be fitted at installation or added later. If water conservation is a priority, specify the regulator variant when ordering.

3) Is the 1m hose long enough, or will I need to buy a longer one?

A 1-metre chrome hose is sufficient for the vast majority of standard Indian bathroom toilet configurations where the angle valve is positioned within arm's reach of the toilet. If your angle valve is located more than 80cm from the toilet seat position, or if the bathroom layout requires routing the hose around an obstruction, a longer hose may be needed. Jaquar and most plumbing suppliers offer compatible extension hoses in 1.5m and 2m lengths — ensure the end fitting is 1/2" to match the ALD-CHR-573's connection specification.

4) How does the 500+ hour salt spray chrome testing compare to what standard health faucets offer?

Most budget and mid-range health faucets sold in India use basic chrome plating with no published corrosion testing. The Jaquar ALD-CHR-573's 500+ hour salt spray validation — using a 10.0 micron nickel base and 0.3 micron chrome top coat — simulates years of bathroom humidity and water exposure under accelerated conditions. In practice this means the chrome finish is significantly less likely to pit, blister, or tarnish within the first few years of use compared to untested alternatives, particularly in coastal cities or homes with hard, mineral-rich water.

5) Can I install this health faucet myself, or do I need a plumber?

The installation is straightforward and within the capability of a confident DIY user — it involves connecting the hose to an existing angle valve and wall-mounting the bracket. However, a plumber is recommended if an angle valve is not already installed near the toilet, as fitting a new angle valve requires cutting into the water supply line, which should only be done by a licensed plumber. If the angle valve is already in place, the hose and handset connection is a simple hand-tighten plus wrench snug operation that takes under 15 minutes.
