The Aqualisa Quartz Bath is one of those pieces of kit that you kind of wish you had a long time ago.
It’s premise is to offer accurate, thermostatic temperatures, the option of wireless remote control, and a simple start/stop switch. Some of these things have long been seen in shower units but not in bath systems. The Quartz Digital Bath promises to change that.
So how does it work and what exactly does it offer? Aqualisa say:
“The Quartz Digital Bath is controlled by a remotely sited processor - smaller than a shoebox, the processor is typically installed in an airing cupboard, the loft or under the bath. A slim data cable connects the processor to the bath control. Hot and cold water flows into the processor, blending it with thermostatic precision to the user’s selected temperature. Then, it’s fed back through Quartz Digital Bath’s contemporary bath overflow filler.
There are no taps to fiddle with, just a simple, one-touch start/stop button on the Quartz Digital Bath control. And best of all, there’s no big toe test, either. Because like Quartz Digital Shower, Quartz Digital Bath’s control also features an LED display. This flashes whilst your bath water is still warming up and then turns to steady when it’s reached your selected temperature. There’s also peace of mind; Quartz Digital Bath has a factory pre-set maximum temperature of 45ºC – reassuring for when the more vulnerable are in the bathroom.”
A particularly nice feature is the Quartz Digital Bath’s clever wireless remote. The wireless remote can be used up to 10 metres away from the bathroom and can be positioned wherever is convenient for you – just inside the bathroom door, on the landing – or for en suite bathrooms, on a bedside table. Alternatively, there is the cabled dual switch, which also allows Quartz Digital Bath to be turned on and off from a remote location.
There are some other nice touches to consider like Aqualisa’s offer of free installation and 5 year guarantee.
