WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN QUARTZ TOUCH, OPTIC Q AND Q DIGITAL?

Q Digital is a non-connected product and is not compatible with WiFi, the App, or Alexa. Like Optic Q, it has a colour home screen and is supplied with a 130mm Vita handset and 250mm fixed drencher head.

Quartz Touch has a black and white home screen and is supplied with a 105mm harmony handset and 230mm fixed drencher head.

Quartz Touch and Optic Q have been designed with Aqualisa's well know Exposed Installation Experience in mind. The concealed versions use the same data cable as Quartz Digital, meaning they are retrofittable over Q Digital and historic concealed Quartz products with no visible screw holes.

Both Optic Q and Quartz Touch utilise smart technology

CAN I USE ANY SMARTS PRODUCT AS A STANDALONE BATH FILL I.E. SINGLE OUTLET (NON-DIVERT)?

Quartz Classic and Unity Q are available as a bath fill only, however Quartz Blue, Quartz Touch, Optic Q and Visage Q have bath fill options when sold as dual outlet (divert) products.

WHERE SHOULD THE CONTROLLER BE SITED ON THE WALL?

Choose a suitable height so all users can easily see and operate the controller. Quart Touch and Optic Q utilise a proximity sensor to wake the controller, this sensor detects motion from up to 0.5m, directly in front of the device. It is therefore important that the controller is positioned so that it will detect the user approaching and moving away from the shower at 0.5m.

CAN YOU SPACE EXPOSED SMART PRODUCTS FURTHER FROM THE WALL TO AVOID CEILING JOISTS IN THE LOFT SPACE ABOVE?

Yes – Spacers are provided as standard which can be used to take the centre of the riser rail from 45mm from the wall, to 70mm from the wall.

CAN EXPOSED SMART PRODUCTS BE USED WITH CORNER MOUNTING BRACKETS?

Only Quartz Blue, Quartz Classic, Quartz Touch, Unity Q and Optic Q utilise the corner mounting bracket. This is sold separately; SKU QZD.C3.EVCB.14

CAN THE EXPOSED RAILS BE EXTENDED FOR HIGH CEILINGS?

Yes - a 550mm rail extension kit is available to purchase, part number 910920. An additional length of 15mm pipe (not provided/sold by Aqualisa) will be required to extend the existing feed pipe within the 550mm extension rail.

App FAQ's

HOW ARE THE DASHBOARD STATISTICS CALCULATED?

The calculations are based on the following:
Total volume – is based on the average shower flow rate (ranging from 8-12L/min depending on flow setting) multiplied by the duration spent in the shower.
Total duration – is measured by the Aqualisa SmartValve™ from the start time to finish time of your shower.
Total cost – is based on the average energy and water cost across the UK multiplied by the duration spent in the shower.
