Aquiv8 415 Shower Handset

CHALLIS WATER CONTROLS
Water Saving anti-bacterial showerhead

The Aquiv8 415 shower handset aims to be at one with nature by reducing water and energy usage, eliminating infections and minimising carbon footprint. Using a patented air induction system, the water droplets are volumised with air to create a high powered shower with reduced water and energy usage.

Infections such as MRSA, E-Coli and Salmonella are eliminated by an antibacterial silver additive within the plastic.

Manufacturing impact was minimised by having design and production all in the UK. A modular construction allows different colour and branding options to accommodate multiple markets.

The form draws its inspiration from the eroded shape of pebbles and the contrast formed when these are turned into tools by the act of chipping away sections to form faces and edges.
