This product must be installed
by a competent person in
accordance with all relevant
current local and national Water
Supply Regulations.
ALL PRODUCTS REQUIRING
AN ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION MUST BE
INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
PERSON FOLLOWING
THE LATEST REVISION OF
THE ELECTRICAL WIRING
REGULATIONS, BOTH
NATIONAL AND LOCAL AND
CERTIFIED TO CURRENT
BUILDING REGULATIONS.
This system should be installed
so that other taps or appliances
operated elsewhere within the
premises do not significantly
aect the flow. The Aqualisa
SmartValve™ must not be
used with a hot water supply
temperature of over 65ºC.
If the maximum hot water
temperature is likely to rise
above 65ºC then a Thermostatic
Blending Valve must be used.
The Aqualisa SmartValve™
is supplied factory pre-set
at maximum temperature
of 45ºC. The maximum
temperature is fully adjustable
to suit site conditions. If
adjusted, we recommend the
outlet temperature is set to a
MAXIMUM of 46ºC.
The Aqualisa SmartValve™
must be installed in an accessible
location for servicing and
maintenance. The Aqualisa
SmartValve™ must not be
installed in situations where
either the ambient temperature
is likely to exceed 40ºC or
where freezing may occur. The
controller must not be installed
in situations where the ambient
temperature is likely to fall below
5ºC or rise above 40ºC.
We do not recommend the
use of a controller in steam

therapy facilities. This appliance
must be earthed. Cables must
be protected by a suitably sized
conduit or trunking to avoid risk
of damage and to allow removal
for service and maintenance
purposes. Failure to install this
way may invalidate the warranty.
Ensure that the conduit is run to
avoid the controller fixing holes.
Surface mounted cables must
also be protected by a suitable
approved conduit, even in a loft,
where there may be a risk of
damage from vermin.
The power lead must only be
replaced by the manufacturer
or their accredited agent. The
controller is supplied from a
safety low voltage source.This
product is suitable for domestic
use only.
Installation of the pumped
Aqualisa SmartValve™ (for
gravity stored systems)
The pumped Aqualisa
SmartValve™ shower system
is designed to operate up to
a maximum static pressure
of 100kPa ((1 bar)(10 metres
head)(14.5psi)). Under no
circumstances must the
pumped Aqualisa SmartValve™
be connected directly to the
water main or in line with
another booster pump. The
minimum actual capacity of
the cold water storage cistern
should be not less than 225
litres (50 gallons). The capacity
of the hot water cylinder
must be capable of meeting
anticipated demand.
Installation of the standard
(unpumped) Aqualisa
SmartValve™ (for balanced
high pressure and unvented
systems, combination
boiler systems and
separately pumped gravity
systems)
Pressures: The standard
(unpumped) Aqualisa
SmartValve™ is designed to
operate up to a maximum static
pressure of 700kPa ((7 bar)
(100psi)). Where pressures
are likely to exceed 700kPa
((7 bar)(100psi)), a pressure
reducing valve must be fitted
to the incoming mains supply.
A setting of 400kPa ((4 bar)
(60psi)) is recommended. It
should be noted that daytime
pressures approaching 600kPa
((6 bar)(80psi)) can rise above
the stated maximum overnight.
Special notes for
combination boiler systems
The appliance must have a
minimum domestic hot water
rating of 24kW and be of the
type fitted with a fully modulating
gas valve. If in any doubt,
please contact the appliance

manufacturer before installation
commences.
DUE TO PERFORMANCE
CHARACTERISTICS OF
COMBINATION BOILERS,
SEASONAL INLET
TEMPERATURE CHANGE
WILL AFFECT THE AQUALISA
SMARTVALVE™ OUTLET
FLOW RATE RESULTING IN
VARYING SHOWER FLOW
RATE AND FLOW CONTROL
RANGE. INLET TEMPERATURE
CHANGE MAY ALSO CAUSE
THE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
TO FLASH; THIS IS NOT
NECESSARILY CHANGING
THE OUTLET TEMPERATURE.
DUE TO THE PERFORMANCE
CHARACTERISTICS OF
COMBINATION BOILERS,
OPERATION OF THE BOOST
BUTTON OR INCREASING
THE FLOW RATE SETTING ON
THE SHOWER CONTROLLER
MAY NOT OFFER
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN
OUTPUT FLOW RATE.
Special notes for separately
pumped gravity systems
and universal/negative
head pumps (for divert
systems)
We recommend a MINIMUM
pump rating of 1.5 bar. For
optimum performance a 2.5
bar pump should be used
for all separately pumped
installations. A twin ended
pump is required for use
with single outlet products.
A universal/negative head
type twin ended pump (works
on both positive and negative
head conditions) MUST be used
with divert products.
The minimum actual capacity
of the cold water storage
cistern should be not less
than 225 litres (50 gallons).
The capacity of the hot water
cylinder must be capable
of meeting the anticipated
demand.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR USE WITH
A SINGLE ENDED PUMP.
Shower Heads
The range of shower heads has
been designed for use with
Smart systems. Installation of
any shower heads other than
these may result in poor shower
performance. If at any stage
during installation you have any
questions then please contact
the Aqualisa Customer Service
Department on 01959 560010
for advice.
Connections
This product incorporates
15mm ‘push-fit’ type
connections. Tube should be

cut using a rotary type cutter
and lubricated using a silicone
grease, petroleum jelly, or
similar, prior to insertion into
the fitting. 15mm pipework
must be used to connect the
product.
If plastic pipe is used, the tube
insert must not increase the
tube diameter or extend the
cut-o length by more
than 2mm.
THESE FITTINGS ARE NOT
SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS
STEEL TUBE. COMPRESSION
FITTINGS MUST NOT BE USED.
Pipe sizing
CHECK PIPE SIZE
REQUIREMENTS FOR
CONNECTIONS TO OUTLETS
AND ACCESSORIES.
Long pipe runs, on both the
inlet and outlet, will reduce
the flow rate at the shower
head, 22mm pipe work should
be used on inlets and reduced
down to 15mm as close to the
valve as possible to reduce
pressure loss and help maintain
flow rate. If using 15mm pipe,
copper pipe is preferred. To
optimise performance minimise
the number of elbows used. If
long pipe runs are unavoidable
on the outlet, and a diverter is
used, use copper pipe rather
than plastic. If plastic pipe is
used, minimise the number of
elbows as the pipe inserts are
very restrictive.
Flushing
Some modern fluxes can be
very corrosive and, if left in
contact, will attack the working
parts of this unit. All soldering
must be completed and the
pipe work thoroughly flushed
out in accordance with current
local and national Water Supply
Regulations prior to connection
of the product.

Isolation valves are supplied with the Aqualisa
SmartValve™ and diverter (where supplied) and
must be fitted on all inlet and outlet connections.
All connections require 15mm pipe, and all pipe work
should be supported.
For gravity fed installations, 22mm pipe work should
be run as close to the Aqualisa SmartValve™ as possible
before reducing down to 15mm.
To ensure safe operation and installation of this product, the Aqualisa SmartValve™
and diverter (where supplied) MUST be installed in one of the orientations shown.
To ensure optimum performance we recommend using copper pipe with a
minimum number of elbows. To minimise post shower dripping outlet pipework

Positioning the controller
Think about the location of the controller. Avoid grout lines where possible
to ensure good surface contact with the silicone seal of the mounting plate.
Choose a suitable height so all users can easily see and use the controller.
Some controllers are activated by a proximity sensor. Refer to the user guide for
details and further information.
CONTROLLERS  CONCEALED SHOWER
Supplied screws must be used as failure to do so will result in poor fitting of
the controller, aecting its functions and may invalidate the warranty. If the
supplied screws are not suitable for the mounting surface, use a screw of the
same size and head design, the screws used must be non corrosive.
Power supply to the Aqualisa SmartValve™ must be switched o before
connecting or removing the controller.
Ensure the data cable is the correct way round as both ends dier in type of
connection used (transparent connector to the Aqualisa SmartValve™).
Data cables must be protected by suitable sheathing or conduit in the event of
servicing and maintenance. Failure to install this way will invalidate the warranty.
Care should be taken to ensure that fixings do not pierce the data cable conduit.

Make note of the type of your mounting plate (A, B C or D) when proceeding
with below instructions.

Diamond dust hole saw
When using the diamond dust hole saw to cut a hole for the mounting plate,
follow the manufacturers guidelines. This type of hole saw is suitable for ceramic
tiles, glass, marble, slate and porcelain tiles. If cutting into showering panels or
marine board a suitable Ø22mm hole saw should be used. For some brands of
diamond dust hole saw it is recommended to wet the saw before cutting. Make
an initial cut into the tile at an angle to avoid slippage of the drill bit.

Place the mounting plate on the wall in the desired location for the controller and
mark the central position for the data cable entry point as represented by in
the above diagram. Remove the mounting plate and drill the data cable hole at the
required size (see above table) at the appropriate position.

Referring to the above table, mark, drill and prepare the wall fixings for the
mounting plate using the screw pack provided. The supplied screws MUST be used.
If the supplied screws are not suitable for the mounting surface, use a screw of the
same size and head design, the screws used must be non corrosive. For mounting
plate C: Utilise the slotted fixing holes to align and to avoid hidden cables.
2
If fitting mounting plate B or D, for ease of installation, after positioning
the cable (as per point 3), screw to the finished wall surface then utilise the
silicone injection points to gently feed silicone into the channels.
The key way of the cable must be facing to the right.
Lining up the keyways of the data cable and the
controller, push the data cable plug into the back
of the controller. Ensure both rubber skirts are
recessed into the connection (see diagram). To make
a watertight fitting, ensure the rubber seal is no longer visible. If required, utilise
a blunt flat bladed screwdriver or similar tool to push the connection fully home.
4
Ensure the data cable is correctly positioned as shown.
Feed the controller connection end of the data cable
through the hole in the mounting plate, ensuring
enough length to correctly connect into the back of
the controller.
Run a bead of silicone sealant in the mastic groove on
the back of the mounting plate. Ensuring the surface
area is clear of debris press into position on the finished
wall surface. N.B. For mounting plate C remove the paper
liner on the foam gasket. To prevent the data cable from
receding into the hole, secure the cable into the narrow
middle slot of the mounting plate. Fix the mounting plate
to the wall. The supplied screws MUST be used. If the
supplied screws are not suitable for the mounting surface,
use a screw of the same size and head design, the screws
used must be non corrosive.
For mounting plate C: Use the spirit level to align.
3

For mounting plate A, B and D: To ensure a watertight seal, we recommend
running a thin bead of silicone around the top half of the concealed controllers
once it has been secured to the mounting plate.
Proceed overleaf to sections Aqualisa SmartValveTM Setup followed by
Controller Comissioning Instructions.
Lock the controller onto the mounting plate with the fixing screw located at the
base of the controller using a small Pozidrive screwdriver.
6
For mounting plate A, B and D: After correctly inserting the data cable, oer the
controller
onto the mounting plate whilst feeding the cable back through the slot. Gently but
firmly, push the controller down to secure and locate onto the mounting plate.
For mounting plate C: After correctly inserting the data cable, oer the controller
up to the mounting plate whilst feeding the cable back through the slot. Position
the controller into the mounting plate with the power symbol at the 7 o’clock
position. Using the palm of your hand, gently apply pressure to the screen to locate
the controller evenly into the mounting plate.
With the other hand use the lever to rotate the controller counter clockwise until it
stops and is seated in the mounting plate, and the power symbol is at the 6 o’clock
position.
Visually check all the way around the two mating components to ensure there are
no gaps and the controller is correctly fitted.

Positioning the controller
Think about the location of the controller.
Choose a suitable height so all users can easily see and use the controller.
Some controllers are activated by a proximity sensor. Refer to the user guide
for details and further information. If the ceiling height is over 2.4m (8ft), a
550mm riser rail extension kit will be required. Contact our Customer Service
Department to purchase a riser rail extension kit (part no: 910920).

CONTROLLERS  EXPOSED SHOWER
The centre of the riser rail stands 45mm from the wall. If this is not suitable, the
spacers provided with the fixing brackets will increase the depth to 70mm from
the wall.
Locate a suitable entry point into the ceiling for the riser rail, avoiding joists and
services.
2
Drill a hole through the ceiling, a minimum of Ø30mm, maximum Ø40mm.
The ceiling plate cannot be sited against an uneven surface. If there is coving or
an alternative obstruction, please ensure the entry hole is neat and unobtrusive;
otherwise the inner tube could be visible within the showering area. Remove
ceiling plate if required.
3
Feed the data cable through
the hole in the ceiling followed
by the riser rail assembly
containing the supply pipe.
Ensuring the controller is at
the desired height, the rail
is vertical, and that there is
adequate working clearance
above the top of the rail in the
roof space.

DO NOT use a compression fitting or soldered joint to connect the outlet pipe
to the top of the exposed product. The black push fit elbow provided MUST be
used. This connection MUST be sited in a position that is safely accessible for
commissioning, servicing and maintenance purposes.
Failure to meet these requirements will invalidate the warranty.
