Where do you typically position mixer showers? I'm installing a 760mm shower tray against an 800mm wall and want to place the mixer bar exactly in the middle between the shower screen and the opposite wall. Given that I’m at the first fix plumbing stage before plastering and tiling, what’s the...

Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me. We’ve just had an Aqualisa Quartz shower installed and we’re having nothing but problems with it. When you first get in, it’s amazing, however it only gives out 7 minutes of hot water before it turns freezing cold. You can then turn it off for just 5...

I have an odd issue with my Aqualisa shower system. I’m not sure which system this is but I’m attaching photos of the Logic Module. This morning the shower wouldn’t turn on and the only way for me to get it to work was to turn off and then back on the logic module in the loft. Later on, my wife...
