Product Information

Full details

The Vidalux SS1700 is designed for homeowners looking to transform their bathroom into a private wellness retreat, offering a seamless blend of hydrotherapy and steam functionality. Its primary advantage is the integration of both a whirlpool tub and a full-featured steam shower within a single 1700mm x 850mm footprint, providing versatility for both quick showers and long, relaxing soaks. However, users should be aware that the substantial dimensions and complex utility requirements necessitate professional installation and careful consideration of bathroom space during the planning phase.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Leak-Seal technology?

Leak-Seal technology utilizes a proprietary design that minimizes joints and utilizes superior sealing materials to prevent common water egress issues found in modular shower units.

Can I use this with a standard gravity-fed boiler?

The SS1700 is designed for high-pressure combi boilers. If using a gravity-fed system, you may require additional booster pumps to achieve optimal pressure.

How often should I use the ozone sterilization system?

It is recommended to run the ozone cleaning cycle after every use of the whirlpool function to ensure that no stagnant water remains in the pipes.

Are the light settings adjustable?

Yes, the chromotherapy LED backlights can be adjusted via the soft-touch control panel to change the atmosphere of the enclosure.

Is the unit covered by a warranty?

The Vidalux SS1700 includes a 2-year manufacturer's warranty against defects, provided the unit is installed correctly by a professional.

How do I control the audio and steam settings?

All primary functions, including steam intensity, radio/Bluetooth, and lighting, are managed through the central soft-touch digital control panel.

Troubleshooting

Steam generator is slow to start or produces low steam

Check the water inlet supply for proper pressure and ensure the internal steam nozzle is free of any mineral deposits.

Bluetooth connection fails to pair

Ensure no other devices are currently paired to the unit and reset the Bluetooth connection mode on the soft-touch controller.

Whirlpool jets are not functioning correctly

Verify that the water level in the bath is above the sensor threshold; the pump will not engage unless the sensors are fully submerged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combined shower and bath functionality saves floor space compared to separate units
  • High-quality components like the Vernet valve ensure long-term reliability
  • Comprehensive spa features including foot massagers and monsoon showers
  • Ozone sterilization simplifies the maintenance of the whirlpool pipework
  • Durable construction with 5mm safety glass and reinforced acrylic

Cons

  • Requires professional plumbing and electrical installation
  • Large physical footprint may not fit smaller bathrooms
  • Needs compatible pressure from a combi boiler system for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The SS1700 is fully compatible with most modern combi boiler systems. Installation must be performed by a qualified plumber and electrician to ensure the integrity of the water seals and electrical safety. The unit features a reinforced acrylic base for stability and is finished with high-grade chrome fittings. For maintenance, ensure the ozone sterilization cycle is run regularly after whirlpool use. The glass panels should be wiped down with a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain clarity and prevent limescale build-up. Always inspect the drainage connections during the initial setup to ensure the extractor fan and waste systems are properly ventilated and routed to your home plumbing.
