AKW SmartCare Plus 8.5kW Thermostatic Electric Shower - White 29012WH

Audible Temperature and Flow Indicators

Designed for those with sight difficulties, this shower includes audible temperature and flow indicators letting you know when the temperature and flow have been increased or decreased. With this function, you will also have a reduced risk of the risk of burns or scalding due to the sound indicators letting you know when the temperature has been increased.

Chunky, Accessible Controls

This shower has been designed for those with additional needs. With chunky controls and bright indicators, those with sight difficulties will find this unit much easier to use than a normal shower.

Precise Thermostatic Temperature Control

Standard showers can have hot temperature spikes when others in the house turn on taps or flush the toilet.

Thermostatic control means that this shower will hold its temperature steady at all times. It dynamically adjusts the hot and cold water, offsetting the everyday changes in water pressure experienced in most family homes.

3 Invigorating Spray Patterns

The adjustable shower head with 3 spray modes offers enhanced flexibility and comfort for all users. Whether you prefer a gentle spray, a more invigorating flow, or a focused stream, the easy-to-select settings cater to individual preferences.

Adjustable Design

Designed with multi-user households and care environments in mind, the shower head is fully adjustable and removable, allowing you to tailor your experience with ease. For carers, the removable design provides greater control and accessibility during assisted showering, making personal care safer, more dignified, and convenient.

Eco Mode

Reduce your environmental impact without compromising comfort. The SmartCare Plus includes an Eco setting that limits water flow to 6 litres per minute, perfect for conserving water and energy. This setting is enabled by default but can be easily overridden during installation to suit your needs.

Automatic & Phased Shutdown

Say goodbye to worries about flooding or unnecessary energy use. The built-in auto shutdown feature activates after 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes, providing peace of mind by preventing prolonged water flow if the shower is accidentally left running. What's more, the phased shutdown system cools the unit gradually after use, ensuring safe startup and reliable performance every time. It helps reduce lime scale build-up, too, preserving the shower’s longevity and efficiency.

Rounded Edges

These SmartCare Plus showers boast smooth, rounded edges and surfaces for added safety.
