Pressure (the force, rather than volume of water) is governed by the Bar pressure of your water system. This includes the output Bar pressure of a booster pump / integrally pumped shower in gravity installations. Reducing flow via an "Eco" will not lower pressure. Dependent on the installation, a pressure reducing valve (PRV) may be compatible - please see below... Most of our adjustable heads simply unscrew from the hose but our range also includes models with an "anti-twist" feature to prevent kinking and damage to the hose. (Running from left to right: Axis, Harmony, Opto, Vita) Good fitting my only compliant iss the rachet mechanism to hold the shower head is very difficult to reposition as it takes alot of effort and it feels it might break before it moves-surely something could be done to make it easier to reposition the shower head The majority of Aqualisa showers do not have a name or model on them but understanding the type of shower will help narrow the search. Please search for your shower from the list below;

Speed of delivery of the spare part was exemplary. High quality part as it was a genuine manufacturer spare. In the case that the o'ring is not the issue, it may be due to the valve body itself and requires changing. Sufficient access of 130-150mm will be required behind the wall plate to replace this. Cavitation refers to air bubbles which are being released into the pipe-work. This is normally caused by the hot water temperature being set too high - we advise that it is set to no higher than 65ºC. Exposed control (rail through ceiling) / pre 2007 concealed models - Push the control upwards, and the retaining ring will move to release the control from its lower securing lugs. This is the first time I've had to replace this type of item - and with 2 other Aqualisa showers I'll know exactly where to go if either of the others needs replacing.Pass the rail through the replacement handset holder whilst keeping the gripping mechanism released from the rail. Replace the soap dish / gel hanger if fitted. Concealed control - On the underside of the control, you will see a single self-retaining screw with a cross-head – loosen the screw to release the securing end cap.

Due to the differences in main control mounting plates, new fixing holes would be required and may leave old holes on display. Some wall repair may be needed to ensure the new fixing holes can be drilled. Dependent on the new model, the data cable would need to be exchanged for different type. On concealed models, data cables should have been installed in a suitable conduit or trunking to allow for easy removal and replacement. Please see below for details on rail kits, wall outlets and fixed arms.

Please note: The wall will need to be fully tiled beneath the existing shower for the installation to be completed. Can the pinch grip shower head holder be fitted without dismantling the riser rail and shower control unit Unless like for like, electric showers are not considered direct replacements. Recommendations for an alternative is based on cold water inlet connection type / location, electrical wiring location and current KW rating. Shower footprints differ along with fixing points so new holes will likely be required or may leave old fixing points on visible. The wall will need to be fully tiled beneath the existing shower for the installation to be completed. Remove the data cable from the Smart Valve. To do this, the lid must be removed by loosening the single screw between the 2 lids of the Smart Valve (image below). The data cable can be removed by pushing on the lever that secures the cable plug into the Logic Module. On the underside of the control, you will see a single self-retaining screw with a cross-head – loosen the screw to release the control.

If at any point the shower begins to spit or splutter then stop turning the dial and wait for the air to clear before continuing towards the hot. To ensure the process is as effective as possible, the cold to hot motion should take a minute or so. Even during the Global Pandemic of 2000/2021 and the added difficulty to get items when the industry seemed to stand still due to Brexit, this company had no problems soaring above it all with genuine parts, at competitive prices and superb delivery to Northern Ireland. Highly recommend them..Shower control (vertical orientation) On the underside of the control you will see a single self-retaining screw with a cross-head – to release the control.

On the underside of the control mounting box, you will see 2 self-retaining screws with cross-heads – remove the screws to release the control.

Please note: If you are changing from a single adjustable head and wish to now include a fixed head, this will not be compatible with exposed pipework. If the Smart Valve currently fitted is standard HP (A1), this would suggest that the gravity water system has a separate booster pump to pressurise the water. In this case, the Smart Valve is already compatible for the change to high pressure, however the settings on the logic will need to be switched "HP Combi" if intended to be fitted on a combi boiler water system.
