Alira - A Kitchen Tap of Refined Steel and Convenience
Alira
by Grohe is a one-lever sink mixer
tap incorporating technology that enables the user to control both water
temperature and water flow single-handedly. It combines clean lines and
contemporary design with reliability and functionality.
Alira's swivel spout and the pull out spray offer the kind of flexibility
expected of a modern kitchen fitting. The pull out spray takes water to
wherever it is needed in the sink. The user can then select between spray
or aerator mode. The spray is useful for removing food residue and obstinate
waste from a plate or pan, whilst in aerator mode, the flow of water is
softened to prevent splash back, especially when using water from a high
pressure supply. Alira automatically reverts back to the aerator setting
as soon as the tap is closed.
Temperature control is greatly enhanced by the light-action lever action,
and the design's high-tech surface finish will add a contemporary yet
timeless touch to any kitchen.
The Grohe Alira kitchen mixer costs around £290 including VAT.
Grohe showers and taps are available from quality bathroom studios and
merchants nationwide.

Abode's
filter kitchen taps Gosford and Atlas were launched recently with a 1000
unit trade promotion offering displays of the new Abode Aquifier water
filter system to showrooms. Having entered the market Abode now intends
to ensure that the sale of its Aquifier range is a priority at all of
its distributors throughout 2004.
'We may appear to be late to the market, but our innovations have been
designed to exceed all other specifications available and since filtered
water consumption is a huge growth area in the UK, the products are priced
to introduce the product category to the broadest possible market.' comments
Darren Holliday.
The growth of the bottled water market speaks for itself and that trend
is irreversible, indeed the branded marks have become a fashion statement
which the filter tap market can benefit from. The cost of bottled water
is legendary and households are now looking for a more economic way of
having a permanent supply of high quality filter water 'on tap' which
is where our industry takes over.
The Aquifier range of water filter taps offers two of the most popular
Abode designs with an added third source of crystal clear filtered water
on tap. The Aquifier 'Atlas' in chrome and brushed steel and the 'Gosford'
in chrome and brushed steel along with English Gold and Antique Bronze
finishes are now available. Affordability and running costs are key and
Abode has come into the market place with a 2500 gallon capacity filter,
designed in a slim body to aesthetically look attractive in the kitchen,
with the real cost to the consumer working out based on the replacement
of the filter every six months, at less than16p per day.
'Abode's Aquifier filter unit is an Activated Carbon - Resin filter designed
to work in both hard and soft water areas, improving taste and removing
dissolved metals, chlorine and pesticides that may work their way into
the domestic supply. They also significantly reduce lime-scale build up
to help our customers keep their water using domestic appliances for longer.'

Abode
- The Shape of Things to Come
Abode
has recently introduced seven new mixer tap products which the company
says will move the current range forward and will blend into a variety
of kitchen styles available today.
Following on from the success of 'Indus' is 'Galileo with its absolute
square styling produced in highly polished chrome which will complement
the minimalist kitchen, with its clear cut lines and angled hot and cold
control valves.
The new Quadro models have a unique shape with the body being a figure
8 outline. The options available being that you can either have a full
pull out spray spout, or the fixed spout which can be mounted adjacent
to or through the sink unit.
Two further models recently introduced are contemporary single lever mixer
taps the first with the control both for flow and temperature on the side
of the spout fitting into the kitchen sink unit. The second has the same
simplistic lines in two parts with the mounting designed to go through
the work top.
Abodes entry into the serious cooking arena is the professionally styled
catering mixer tap created to fit into the home. With two models both
having the high swan neck pull out spout and flexible hose and spray rinse,
one has regular controls while the other has the added benefit of a single
lever attachment giving single handed temperature and flow control.

All-in-One
Luxury Showers set to 'Revolutionise' Britain's Bathrooms
Roman
and Aqualisa have developed a complete
all-in-one shower system, the Roman TSC (Total Shower Concept).
The
companies say that this top-of-the-range shower cabinet, including electronic
thermostatic valve, body jets, and pump, is set to revolutionise bathrooms
nationwide.
It arrives complete, and fits in the corner or alcove of any room, straight
from the box, in an afternoon.
The enclosure is available with a gleaming White or Bright Silver frame,
with clear unprinted or blue glass, and a Quartz shower with body jets,
red flashing LEDs, and an on/off remote switch which can be sited up to
10 metres away. The two body jets are fully adjustable to give an invigorating
shower.
All the components simply screw or push together. There is no need for
tiling, drilling large holes in walls, feeding pipes along impossible
spaces, or forcing together items which were not designed for each other.
To be precise, rigid wall panels are pre-drilled for the accompanying
Aqualisa Quartz control - fit flush to the corner walls; push-fit plastic
pipes drop invisibly underneath the integral shower base, and link to
the Quartz processor box (with optional pump) in a discreet pull-out drawer.
Flexible piping then leads to the nearest hot and cold pipes, and the
stylish glass enclosure completes the job.
The pumped version of the system also requires a 3amp power supply.
David Osborne, Marketing Director of Roman said: 'A plumber can install
it in two hours; a DIY enthusiast in four. And, given the calibre of the
manufacturers, they know it will actually fit - and all aspects of the
product carry a five year guarantee.'
Quadrant options are designed for a corner situation and Bi-fold door
options are available for alcove situations - both are available in either
800 x 800mm or 900 x 900mm; Quartz is the very latest in shower design
and features an easy to use, one touch control and the red flashing LED
tells the user when his or her perfect shower temperature has been achieved.
David Osborne said the Roman TSC is the result of over a year of intense
collaboration and development between Roman and Aqualisa.
'The shower enclosures are devised from Roman's high quality range,' he
said. 'Well proven, attractive, door technology is backed up by new bespoke
wall mouldings which negate the need for tiling. All panels are securely
fixed, and sealed for complete watertight integrity.'
Martyn Denny, Marketing and Sales Director at Aqualisa said: 'The technological
advances made with Quartz lends itself ideally to this concept. The Roman
TSC is an exciting, innovative product that offers a quality, high performance,
stylish shower solution.'

The
Triton T100E Care Shower
Triton’s
T100E Care is an electric shower designed specifically for the local authority
and care markets.
The
T100E combines easy to use functions with stringent safety features to
make it suitable for the elderly or those with special needs, and is supported
by an after-sales service.
The streamlined design of the T100E echoes that of Triton’s standard
showers to ensure that it does not look out of place in a domestic bathroom,
while a number of modifications make it easy to use.
The shower is operated by selecting the power setting using large push
buttons, each of which feature indentations and LED displays to help users
choose the correct programme. A separate start/stop button is situated
away from the other buttons allowing it to be more easily located. The
extended temperature selection lever makes the shower easy to operate
even with elderly or arthritic hands.
For added safety, the T100E Care has a phased shutdown feature, which
flushes any hot water out of the unit after showering and ensures that
the temperature remains constant for the next user.
The T100E Care shower also features an extended riser rail allowing the
sprayhead to be positioned for use in a standing or seated position, and
the reinforced extended hose allows a carer to manoeuvre the sprayhead
around the person showering.
The T100E Care electric shower is available in a white/ chrome effect
finish, and has a power rating of 8.5kW.
As with all showers in Triton’s care range, which includes the LP
and HP Care mixer showers and the Millennium Care electric showers, the
T100E Care is supported by a dedicated Technical Service and Support team.
Local authorities and housing associations can contact the team directly
using special telephone lines and email addresses to report any service
requirements, which will be dealt with as a matter of priority. Call 02476
325491 to contact the team.

Mira
Advance Shower Range Meets Caremark for Special Needs
'BEAB
CARE mark' has been launched by BEAB (British Electrotechnical Approvals
Board) to offer a new standard of safety for electrical goods for use
by the elderly, young or infirm. Thermostatic electric showers are the
first product type to be tested and certified. Mira's Advance ATL thermostatic
electric shower is the first to receive the mark for all showers in the
range.
The mark is given after independent testing by BEAB to verify operating
safety and temperature control. The standard has been developed by the
Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances (AMDEA) in co-operation
with leading manufacturers. It is based on additional technical requirements
to fulfil the needs of the care sector.
'BEAB CARE mark certification for showers comes at a time when the issue
of bathing safety has been raised by the ODPM (Office of the Deputy Prime
Minister) announcement of a review of the Building Regulations,' commented
Roger Crabb of Mira, on the award of the mark. 'Advance ATL electric showers
are already used widely in the care sector and the Mark will offer ease
of selection and reassurance.'
All of the Mira Advance ATL models are easy to use and adjust. The Advance
ATL Flex model, however, has been specially designed to meet the needs
of carers and those in their care. The Advance ATL range is thermostatically
controlled, so ensuring a safe and stable showering temperature irrespective
of changes in incoming water pressure or temperature. A sensor within
the shower reads the water temperature 62 times per second and adjusts
the outgoing shower water to within ± 1°C.
The Adjustable Temperature Limit (ATL) allows the shower to be set to
one of eight maximum temperatures. These temperature settings range from
37° to 48°C and protect the user from selecting an unsafe showering
temperature. This adjustable temperature limit is set by the fitter during
installation and for special need use can be set to 41°C, the DO8
recommended temperature.
The Advance ATL Flex is particularly suitable for installations where
the user requires safety, comfort and control. An extended lever makes
selecting the temperature easier and the push button controls respond
with an audible ' beep'. A two metre hose, with a one metre extended slide
bar and an additional handset holder, offer more flexible showering, for
example they are ideal for use with a showering seat or a wheelchair.
The handset has a rubber finger grip giving ease of handling and four
choices of spray patterns.
Electric showers give flexibility where an additional shower is to be
fitted in a home adapted for an elderly or infirm person. They need only
mains water, drainage and electrical connections, so that installation
work and changes to the plumbing system are minimal.

New
Kohler Falling Water Brassware
Kohler
offers a broad range of bathroom brassware, from the traditional to the
contemporary and iconic and has recently launched three new ranges.
The current range (launched in 2003) features water delivery solutions.
These include Laminar, Vas and Bol.
Laminar has a modern minimalist design, and through its flow technology
delivers a solid stream of water which fills the bath or basin without
splashing. It can be ceiling or wall mounted or comes as an integral feature
of the Purist mirror cabinet.
Vas and Bol are Kohler's ceramic mixer taps, which create a visual display
as water fills the tap body and gently cascades from the spout.
Also available is a range of coordinating built-in thennostatic shower
valves.
The new ranges are being introduced in response to retailer requests.
They broaden the Kohler brassware range to include contemporary European
design, as well as a new distinctive wall mounted product, suitable for
use with Kohler Vessels.
Doji and Elosis are two WRAS approved single lever monoblock ranges, which
both offer a range of four products for basin, bidet and bath. Selling
prices will start at around £90 excluding VAT.
Falling Water is a range of ergonomic and attractively styled wall mounted
brassware, suitable for use with Kohler Vessels or other basins.
Kohler brassware is made in Kohler factories and undergoes extensive testing.
Benefits include: washerless ceramic valving - which is resistant to hard
water and debris for a longer tap life, solid brass construction and Physical
Vapour Deposition (PVD) technology on Nickel and French Gold products
- which creates a finish that has high resistance to scratching, tarnishing
and corrosion.
Basin brassware features flexible connections and pre-assembled handles
on valves for easy installation.
A new Kohler brochure and updated website include the full range of brassware.
Also available are technical sheets for every product, featuring pressures
and flow rates, approvals, finishes, materials and detailed technical
line drawings.

Pegler
Launches New Anti-Scald Valve - Peglertherm 402UA Meets TMV3 Specification
Since
launching a range of anti scald products in 1995, Pegler
has continued to develop the requirement for their maintenance and servicing.
Following the success of the Peglertherm 402H and 402U in-line thermostatic
controllers, Pegler has launched the Peglertherm 402UA which includes
two angle combination valves.
This new in-line thermostatic controller is based on the 402U design with
additional features that allow for easier servicing and maintenance. Like
the 402H and 402U, the 402UA has been designed to meet the National Health
Service Estates (NHSE) engineering standard DO8 and the Health Guidance
Note (HGN) that refers to a type 3 valve as specified by the Thermostatic
Mixing Valve Scheme (TMV3 Scheme).
The Peglertherm 402UA has been tested by the WRc under the auspices of
the TMV3 scheme following tests outlined in the DO8 standard. It has been
approved suitable for applications in washbasin, bidet, shower, bath and
assisted bath categories, ensuring safe delivery of hot water across the
whole washing spectrum.
So where should the 402UA be specified?
The Peglertherm 402UA is designed to be fitted in applications where the
control of hot water temperature is required in order to prevent scalding.
If for any reason the cold water supply fails, the product is designed
to automatically shut off the hot water supply. It is intended for use
particularly in those applications where the users may have slower reactions
or are not aware of the possible risk of scalding, in particular, young
children and the elderly, and in residential homes and hospitals.
In addition to scald prevention, the Peglertherm 402UA also offers the
benefit of shutting off the cold water supply in the event of hot water
supply failure, thus preventing the unpleasant shock of cold water.
The Peglertherm 402UA is simple and quick to install and can be fitted
in any orientation, having Hot, Cold and Mix marked on the body to assist
the installer. The angle valves also have Filter marked on the body to
indicate its location for removal and cleaning purposes. The 90° combination
angle valves can be rotated at the union connection to give a variety
of fixing positions.
The angle valves are fitted to the hot and cold inlets and incorporate
isolating valves, removable Filters and inspection and test ports. The
test ports have a removable plug that allows temperature and pressure
gauges to be attached for the commissioning and servicing of the valves.
These features provide a convenient servicing point and enable a reduced
down time for the client.
The 15mm 402UA version comes with two 15mm compression ends on the angle
valves and 22mm compression end on the mixed outlet. The 22mm compression
end can be adapted to 15mm with the reducing set that is supplied. The
22mm 402UA version comes with 22mm compression ends on the angle valves
and the mixed outlet.
The Peglertherm 402UA is supplied pre-set at approximately 43°C, however
adjustment can be made to deliver a mixed temperature of between 38°C
and 46°C (or 30°C and 50°C outside TMV3 applications). The
adjustment mechanism is fitted with an anti tamper resistant cap to prevent
any unauthorised adjustments.
The Peglertherm 402UA is manufactured to Pegler’s stringent quality
standards with each product being guaranteed to deliver safe hot water
and backed by the Pegler Customcare service pledge.

Hansgrohe
Reinvents the Modern Shower with Raindance
Introducing
the world’s first personal hand shower in 1928 and the first adjustable
hand shower - Selecta in 1968, Hansgrohe
went on to invent the Shower Panel® and first Shower Temple concept
in 1989.
Today, 75 years and over 100 international design awards later, Hansgrohe
says it has once again broken the mould with the introduction of Raindance
– offering a dramatically different design, enhanced functionality
and total versatility. In conjunction with the rotatable showerhead holder
– called Raindance Allrounder - the hand shower is transformed into
a complete shower system, offering a hand, overhead and side body shower
all in one product.
Created for Hansgrohe by Phoenix Product Design, the Raindance hand shower
has soft curves, an elegant flattened silhouette and reverses the traditional
head and handle proportions. The Raindance handle has been shortened for
easier ergonomics, so that even smaller hands can comfortably adjust spray
modes, while the shower head has been increased to a generous 150mm for
greater shower enjoyment – proportions usually only found on fixed
overhead showers.
Raindance offers five spray modes including the Whirl Massage spray with
three individually rotating jets. The combined effect is an intense spray
that powerfully massages the skin when held close to the body. The
five spray settings, from gentle rain through to whirling massage, provide
the full spectrum of sensations.
The Allrounder has been designed so that the large Raindance shower head
can be optimally utilised and provide hand showering as well as overhead
and side body showering all in one product.
The Raindance Allrounder holder works by gripping the shower head not
the handle and blends the hand shower and holder into a single unit. This
allows the shower to be freely moved into an infinite variety of positions
using just one hand. The showerhead has an optional ‘Soft-Grip’
rim made of translucent silicon which prevents the unit from slipping
when it is positioned vertically for use as a side body shower, or horizontally
as an overhead shower.
Even with this flexibility, the Raindance Allrounder does not require
much space so can be used to upgrade most showers. A corner version is
also available and ideal for installing in smaller shower cubicles. Showers
also feature anti lime-scale technology in the form of an easy to clean
filter and Rubit de-scaling system.
An alternative to the Allrounder is the new, extremely flat Raindance
Unica Wall Bar. This wall bar has an integrated hose guidance system to
prevent the hose moving about and makes for a sleek, attractive appearance.
The hand shower slides effortlessly up and down on the bar to the desired
position and two wall bars can be joined together to provide one continuous
rail, allowing the hand set to be adjusted for use lower down as a side
shower on the lower half of the body.
All Chrome or chrome with Soft-Grip rim made from translucent green silicone.
