FAQs
What type of faucet is recommended for this basin?
A single-hole faucet is designed for this basin. Consider the height and reach to ensure comfortable use within the bowl.
Can this basin be installed in a small bathroom?
Yes, its freestanding design can make a small bathroom feel more spacious by offering a cleaner visual line. However, ensure adequate clearance for movement and installation.
How do I clean the ceramic material?
Clean with a soft cloth, water, and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the glaze.
Does the basin come with a drain or faucet?
Typically, the basin is sold separately from the drain and faucet. Please check the product listing for included components.
What is the warranty period for this basin?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the manufacturer's official documentation or the retailer's product page for specific warranty details.
Is professional installation required?
Due to the freestanding nature and plumbing requirements, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper setup and avoid potential issues.
Troubleshooting
Basin is unstable
Ensure the floor is level and the basin is positioned correctly. Check for any obstructions under the base. Professional installation should address structural support.
Water not draining properly
Check the drain assembly for any blockages. Ensure the overflow channel is clear of debris.
Faucet alignment issues
Verify that the chosen faucet is compatible with the single-hole design and has adequate clearance for operation within the basin.
Stains on ceramic surface
Use a mild soap and damp cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher stains, try a baking soda paste. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Pros and Cons

- Practical features like a pre-drilled mixer hole and overflow.
- Versatile placement due to its freestanding nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: As a freestanding unit, the REA U5635 requires a stable, level floor and access to water supply and drainage directly from below or behind the unit, depending on the specific plumbing configuration. Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and leak-free. Professional installation is recommended due to the nature of freestanding plumbing.
Compatibility: This basin is designed with a standard hole for mixer taps, making it compatible with most common single-hole faucets. Ensure your chosen faucet has appropriate reach and height for the basin.
Care: Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the glaze. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle abrasive. Ensure the overflow area is kept clear of debris to maintain its functionality.
