FAQs
Do I need a special electrical supply for this shower?
Yes, this 9.5kW electric shower requires a dedicated high-integrity power supply from your main consumer unit, typically connected via a 45-50 amp circuit breaker and appropriate cable sizing. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is essential.
Can this shower replace my existing electric shower?
Yes, the UNIQ® kit is designed for flexible installation and can often be used as a direct replacement for many existing electric showers, simplifying the upgrade process.
How do I clean the showerhead?
Gently wipe the showerhead with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn limescale, you can soak the showerhead in a mild vinegar solution for a short period before rinsing and wiping clean.
What is the benefit of phased shutdown?
Phased shutdown helps to flush out any residual hot water from the heating chamber after you turn the shower off. This process reduces limescale build-up inside the unit, contributing to its longevity and consistent performance.
Is the shower suitable for a corner installation?
Yes, the UNIQ® kit offers flexibility, allowing installation on a flat wall or in a corner, making it adaptable to different bathroom spaces.
What is the warranty period for this shower?
Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer's product page for the most accurate and up-to-date warranty information.
Does the shower heat water continuously?
No, this is an electric shower that heats water only on demand as it flows through the unit. This is an energy-efficient method of providing hot water.
Troubleshooting
No hot water or insufficient hot water
Check the power supply to the shower. Ensure the circuit breaker is on and has not tripped. Verify that the water flow is not too high for the heater to cope with.
Showerhead low water pressure
Clean the showerhead nozzles to remove any limescale or debris. Check for kinks or blockages in the hose.
Unit not turning on
Confirm that the power supply is connected and the unit is switched on at the control. Check the fuse or circuit breaker for the shower's circuit.
Water temperature fluctuating
Ensure the water flow rate is within the recommended range for the unit. Check for any partially closed isolation valves on the water supply.

Compatibility: This shower is compatible with most standard plumbing connections and can replace existing electric showers. Ensure your home's electrical system can support the required power rating.
