Healthcare
INTRODUCTION
Healthcare facilities have the most demanding requirements of any shower application: patient safety, scald prevention, legionella compliance, caregiver oversight, and emergency response capability. The Instant Aqua platform was designed with these requirements at its core for both individual patient bathrooms and for communal shower facilities.
TECHNOLOGY 1 SECTION.
Patient En-Suites & Individual Bathrooms — Single-Outlet Smart Shower Valve
• Temperature is set digitally and held precisely — scald risk is eliminated by design, not by a passive thermostatic element.
• Maximum temperature can be locked remotely by facility management — patient cannot override beyond the safe limit.
• The display locks automatically when a caregiver is assisting from within 2 metres — preventing accidental activation.
• Emergency call function built into the display — activates the facility alert system directly from the shower.
• Automated legionella flushing runs to a scheduled programme with second-by-second temperature logging — meets HTM 04-01 and equivalent standards.
• Remote monitoring of temperature, usage, and system status — full oversight from a central management dashboard.
• Retrofit into existing bathroom fittings without structural modification.
TECHNOLOGY 2 SECTION.
Communal Shower Facilities — Multi-Outlet Central Mixing System.
• A single central mixing unit serves an entire ward or communal shower block.
• Constant temperature across all active outlets — no temperature spikes when patients enter or leave.
• Pressure equalisation technology prevents dangerous temperature fluctuations when supply pressure drops.
• No individual electronic controls required on each shower outlet — lower installation and service cost.
• Automatic outlet detection — works with manual or sensor-activated valves.
• Fully auditable temperature logging for legionella compliance reporting.
PARTNERSHIP NOTE
Both technologies are at working prototype stage and available for licensing or co-development. We welcome enquiries from healthcare facility developers, NHS trusts, care home operators, and sanitary fitting manufacturers serving the healthcare sector.
