If you’re looking for cutting edge shower technology then the Aqualisa Digital Shower could be just the ticket.

image

This sophisticated shower unit delivers thermostatically controlled flow with spot on temperatures. It’s housed within a stylish but compact digital processor box that claims to offer “impressive flow of water, whatever the type of plumbing system.”

The Aqualisa Visage Digital Shower also incorporates a small LED that flashes green whilst the water is warming up and then turns to steady once the water has reached the user’s selected temperature. 

I have personally been scolded by a shower - so it’s reassuring that the Visage Digital shower is supplied factory set with a maximum temperature of 45ºC.

Rising water bills can also be mitigated when the eco setting is selected during installation. This can reduce water flow down to 8 litres per minute, which is apparently 10 litres less than a typical power shower. A multimode showerhead should mean that showering performance remains relatively undiminished.

The range of Mira Mini’s (Miniluxe, Minibelle, Miniduo and Minilite) offer the same performance of a standard Mira mixer shower but with a 50% smaller valve.

Mini mixers offer a more streamlined and minimal aesthetic in your bathroom, perfect for small bathrooms and those who want to de-clutter.

Available in both standard and vertical styles.

I like the concept of less clutter, but do they deliver the same oomph. Mira claim so and I’ve yet to hear otherwise.

If you like your showers hi tech, the new Mira Magna Digital caters for you.

image

It has been billed as a “super stylish digital shower with cutting edge technology and available with a waterveil head for wider shower coverage”.

As a digital shower it allows full programmability, so the whole family can store their desired settings. This is a great idea considering I always end up getting scalded after my wife has taken her ablutions!

Remote control use also means you never need step into a cold shower again as you can turn Mira Magna on from another room.

The little boy gadget lover inside me just loves this piece of kit. Whether it’s actually any good is another question?
