The AKW SmartCare Plus 8.5kW thermostatic electric shower is perfect for those living independently who want a shower that is safe, reliable, and easy to operate. A key feature is RNIB mode, which automatically remembers your previous settings to provide a consistent, comfortable experience every time.
Safety Features
Safety and comfort are central to the SmartCare Plus design. Its smooth, rounded edges help reduce the risk of injury in the event of a slip or fall, while the built-in thermal cut-out prevents overheating, ensuring the shower operates safely and reliably.
The shower also includes a smart automatic shutdown system that activates if a water leak is detected, helping to prevent flooding and minimise water waste.
For added reassurance, an optional wall-mounted remote allows users or carers to turn the shower on or off from up to 10 metres away.
User-Friendly Design
With accessibility in mind, this shower offers a straightforward and intuitive experience for both independent users and carers. A gentle audible beep accompanies each temperature adjustment, giving immediate and reassuring feedback.
LED Display
The digital LED screen displays temperature levels in clear blue tones, while illuminated buttons make operation easier for users with visual impairments. The anti-glare screen reduces brightness and eye strain, ensuring comfortable and easy visibility at all times.
