Full details

The Triton Omnicare Ultra Plus is an inclusive 8.7kW thermostatic shower engineered for users requiring enhanced accessibility, including those in dementia-friendly or assisted-living environments. Its primary benefit is a high level of safety and tactile feedback, making it ideal for the elderly or individuals with visual impairments.

FAQs

Is this shower suitable for a dementia-friendly bathroom?

Yes, it is DSDC approved for its high-contrast controls and intuitive design, which helps minimize confusion.

Can I install this myself?

No, this is an 8.7kW electrical appliance that requires a qualified electrician and should ideally be installed by a professional plumber.

What is the benefit of the thermostatic control?

It keeps the water temperature stable, protecting the user from scalding if someone else uses a tap elsewhere in the home.

How do I adjust the shower height?

The kit includes a single-hand operated handset holder that slides easily up and down the riser rail.

How long can I set the timer for?

The timer is adjustable between 5 and 30 minutes, allowing for flexible safety requirements.

Does it require a specific water pressure?

Electric showers typically require a minimum cold water pressure; consult the installation manual for the exact bar requirement.

Troubleshooting

Shower fails to produce hot water

Verify that the water supply is fully turned on and that the electrical isolation switch is in the 'on' position.

Water flow is weak

Check for debris in the showerhead nozzle or a kink in the hose and clean as necessary.

Audible tones are not sounding

Check the internal settings or contact a technician if the electronic feedback module appears unresponsive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Omnicare Ultra Plus is designed for simplicity in bathroom adaptations, utilizing a generous footprint to cover existing drill holes or pipework. It offers multiple cable and pipe entry points for flexibility during plumbing. Because this is an 8.7kW unit, ensure your electrical circuit is capable of handling the required amperage. For maintenance, keep the showerhead free of limescale by regularly wiping the nozzles. The unit should be cleaned only with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals that could damage the finish or the tactile markings on the controls.
