Aqualisa Optic Q Smart Showers – For Gravity Fed / Pumped Systems

The Optic Q range is designed specifically for gravity-fed and pump-assisted systems, so it suits homes with a loft header tank and hot water cylinder or with a shower pump boosting pressure. If you see pipework coming from the ceiling or wall in your current shower, those correlate with the ceiling-fed and wall-fed options offered. If you have mains high‑pressure water, Optic Q is not the intended match and you should check for a mains-pressure model instead. A quick look in the loft for a cold-water cistern or a visible pump on the cylinder often tells you what you have.

Concealed models hide the valve in the wall for a smooth, minimalist look, as seen in the "Concealed Smart Digital Shower" and rainfall versions; exposed models have the valve and trim visible on the wall and are easier to retrofit, like the "Exposed Smart Digital Shower" included in our range. If you're renovating and want a clean, modern finish and can access the wall cavity, concealed gives the best result. For replacing an existing exposed unit or avoiding major wall work, choose the exposed variant.

Choose ceiling-fed when you want a true overhead rainhead or a ceiling-mounted outlet, because the pipework comes through the ceiling and can serve one or two heads. Pick wall-fed if you need an easier retrofit option or want traditional wall-mounted heads, since wall-fed pipework comes through the wall behind the shower. if you're installing the Optic Q Rainfall Head Concealed, a ceiling-fed arrangement gives the fullest rain effect.

A single outlet suits straightforward showers with one fixed head or adjustable riser for everyday use. Dual head options give you both a main head and a handset for flexibility, handy for rinsing children or cleaning the enclosure, and you'll find dual head concealed and exposed models in the range. Three outlets add functions such as body jets or a bath filler for a spa-like layout, but they require more flow capacity and careful plumbing planning. Pick the configuration that matches how you want to use the shower rather than extra features you won't use.

The Smart LED display lets you set and see the temperature clearly so you can get the shower to the right warmth quickly, which is great for families and morning routines. The adjustable shower head gives an invigorating, customised spray pattern each time, and combined with precise digital control you avoid cold or scalding surprises. Together, these features make the shower easier to use and more consistent than non-digital alternatives.
