Key Takeaways
- Delivers precise temperature control within ±0.5°C for a perfect shower every time.
- Allows for programmable user presets (e.g., 'Morning Wake Up', 'Relaxing Evening').
- Features visual LED feedback to indicate when water has reached the desired temperature.
- Integrated safety features include automatic shut-off and overheat protection.
Why Go Digital?
Traditional mixer showers rely on mechanical movements of ceramic discs to blend hot and cold water. While reliable, they lack the precision and consistency of modern technology. Digital showers replace these manual valves with a remote processor unit.
This processor measures the temperature of the water hundreds of times per second and adjusts the mix instantly using stepper motors. The result is a shower that is exactly the temperature you requested, maintained precisely throughout your wash, regardless of pressure fluctuations elsewhere in the home.
Key Features & Benefits
Smart Integration
Many modern digital controllers connect to Wi-Fi, allowing you to start your shower from your phone while you're still in bed. They can also integrate with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home.
Eco-Efficiency
"Warm-up" modes ensure water only flows when it's hot, and timers can help you track water usage. Digital showers put you in control of your consumption without sacrificing comfort.
Technical Specifications
Temperature stability within ±0.5 degrees Celsius.
OLED touchscreens with haptic feedback and color-coded status rings.
Auto-lock after 20 minutes and low-voltage (12V) user interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to have electronics in the shower?
Yes, absolutely. Digital shower controllers use low-voltage electricity (typically 12V or 24V) and are IP-rated (Ingress Protection) to be completely waterproof. The main control unit that connects to mains power is installed safely outside the shower area (e.g., in a loft or cupboard), with only low-voltage data cables connecting to the user interface.
What happens if there is a power cut?
Digital showers require electricity to operate. In the event of a power cut, the shower will stop working. However, many systems have battery backups or retain their settings so that when power is restored, you don't lose your presets.
Can I retrofit a digital controller to an old shower?
Digital showers are often easier to install than traditional valves because the mixing unit can be located up to 10 meters away from the shower head. This means you don't need to chase pipes into the wall behind the tiles. However, you will need an electrical connection, which may require a qualified electrician.
Do digital showers save water?
Yes. Because they reach the desired temperature almost instantly and feature pause buttons (for when you're shampooing), digital showers significantly reduce water waste compared to manual mixers where users often let the water run while adjusting the temperature.
