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.

CAN I USE ANY QUARTZ BLUE, QUARTZ CLASSIC OR QUARTZ TOUCH 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. Some products 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.

Total duration – is measured by the Aqualisa SmartValve™ from the start time to finish time of your shower.
