Set up Shower - Controller
The LEDs on the controller will flash rapidly to indicate
that the Aqualisa SmartValveTM is searching for an
available Wi-Fi network. N.B. There is a 2-minute time
out if unable to connect.
Before starting you will need your Network Name (SSID code) and
password as they are required during the Aqualisa app setup journey.
These can normally be found on your internet router.
For Wi-Fi set up, the Aqualisa SmartValveTM must be powered, but the
shower must not be in use.
Download and open the Aqualisa app on your
personal smart device and follow the instructions
to create Your Home profile before continuing with
this section.
For further advice, information on compatible
devices, or if you have any trouble downloading the
app scan the QR code or go to www.aqualisa.co.uk/smartapp.

Set up Shower - Wi-Fi
The Aqualisa app will direct you to the Wi-Fi settings
menu on your mobile device.
From the list of available Networks select: QSVC XXXX
The password is: SmartShower
N.B. Depending on Wi-Fi signal strength, the
connection may take a few minutes. Follow the
instructions on the Aqualisa app. Upon completion of
this, continue with the below.
The LEDs will flash slowly to indicate the Aqualisa
SmartValveTM is connecting to the Aqualisa app
and will switch to being solid green, indicating a
successful connection.
A successful connection message will provide
confirmation in the Aqualisa app journey and the LEDs
on the controller will turn o to indicate that the
shower is ready for use.
If connection is unsuccessful a message will appear in
your Aqualisa app. Redo the steps above or refer to
app troubleshooting at www.aqualisa.co.uk/smartapp.
If the timer setting is adjusted within the Aqualisa app, then the shower
will run for the newly set duration, overriding the default maximum run
time. N.B. The water flow will stop at the end of the timer.
The Aqualisa app gives you the capability to operate your product
remotely using your mobile device. It is the responsibility of the user
to ensure that it is safe to remotely activate the water flow. Aqualisa
recommend that baths and showers in operation are not left unattended.
Cleaning tip: To keep your shower eortlessly clean, we recommend
drying all shower components with a soft cloth after use.
Caring for your Shower
Over time, your shower may be aected by hard water scaling. To keep your shower
working eectively, we recommend that you clean your shower regularly.
Your product should be cleaned using only a soft cloth and washing up liquid. The
bath system ‘click clack’ waste plug mechanism (if applicable) should be kept clear of
debris to ensure the plug maintains a watertight seal. The plug can be unscrewed and
removed to check and clean the mechanism.
Cleaning the shower head
To reduce the need for chemical descaling in hard water areas, your shower head
incorporates a ‘clear flow’ system, whereby any scale build up can be broken down
by gently rubbing the flexible tips of the jets during use. This procedure should be
completed regularly, as often as once a week in some hard water areas, as scale build
up can aect the spray pattern and cause the shower to perform poorly. Failure to
descale the shower head can aect the internal seals and may aect the warranty.
Should descaling of the head using a cleaning agent become necessary, remove the
shower head fully and immerse in a mild proprietary descaler (e.g. vegetable based or
plain white vinegar). Cleaning and maintenance should not be undertaken by children
without supervision by a person responsible for their safety.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. It is imperative that descaling
is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
substances that are not suitable for plastics and electroplated surfaces
must not be used.
Changing water system?
If switching from a gravity-fed water system to a mains pressure system (e.g.
Combination boiler) you will need to change your Aqualisa SmartValveTM. Contact a
member of our Customer Service team for further information.

Mixed water supplies Water supplies MUST be from the same source:
MUST NOT be gravity hot and mains cold.
Unbalanced water
supplies
For mains fed systems the cold and hot feeds
should be as evenly balanced as possible -
especially for HP unvented systems.
Combination boiler
unable to meet demand
See same cause in 'Fluctuating Water
Temperature' symptom.
Temperature too
hot
Seasonal conditions In the warmer months, the mains water
temperature can rise to ambient level. The Aqualisa
SmartValveTM always blends a mix of both hot and
cold supplies therefore the output temperate at
fully cold (controller setting) will always be higher
than the incoming cold water supply.
Seasonal conditions
(gravity fed systems
only)
For installations which utilise a cold water
storage supply (gravity fed system), the ambient
temperature in the loft can rise to above 40ºC.
In turn, this warms the stored water. Check by
running a cold tap that is supplied from the water
storage. N.B. Kitchen taps are normally fed from
the mains water system.
