Frequently Asked Questions
bathomatic is designed to never overflow or deliver over temperature. However tempering with it or the luck of cleaning and/or maintenance may bring undesirable results. There is however a conventional overflow provision
When auto-learning is enabled, prior to each draining of the bath, bathomatic takes a “snapshot” of the depth and temperature. This is available in presets and the values are altered as per your new likings
No. bathomatic is designed to blend how and cold water supplies to perfection and not to heat up the water. The water temperature maintenance on the ECO models is intended to maintain the temperature and compensate for environment losses
bathomatic has a feature called “temperature priming”. When enabled the drain stays open until the bath water gets to temperature and then closes, ensuring shallow depths with accurate temperatures are achieved. You must ensure the water temperature accuracy prior to use as there are external factors that may alter the device performance
Yes. You need bathomatic with hand shower option and the BUI needs to be positioned in a way accessible when bathing or showering
As many as you desire. There are no limitations
bathomatic can be installed at Unique Automation’s London factory to customers’ chosen baths prior to delivery. This reduces the need for remote support during installation, packaging and provides all in one solution with few points of connection to services. Any off-the-shelf bath tub can be fully automated prior to its final destination: your bathroom
It delivers what is required and eliminates waste. During temperature maintenance no water is drained out and the temperature is kept up by a low power recirculation pump and a heater
bathomatic prices start from around £2,500
Bathomatic can be installed by any capable plumber or proficient DIY enthusiast, subject to local legislation
No. bathomatic is a system designed to fit all bathtubs on the market or be easily adapted to do so, but does not include a bath
While the hand-shower on bathomatic is capable of precise delivery of water, it is only auxiliary function, thus it is intended for rinsing and cleaning.
With typical fill of around 10 minutes there are filling solutions of up to 600 litters per minute without system modifications, but only additional water mixers. There are variables like bath size, water availability, outlets size, etc. There are few extraordinary system supplied by 50mm diameter pipework filling bathtubs in no time
bathomatic was designed with focus on wellness and from its conception provisions were made for 4, 8 or 12 different scents. These were formulated to prolong the life of the equipment, but you can use your own. Unless your desired scents are tested by us and approved, their use may void the product warranty.
Yes. You can access your bathomatic device from anywhere remotely. Device pairing is needed
bathomatic must be paired with your phone or PC on your local area network (LAN) prior to remote use. This is done only once for the reason of security. Physical access to bathomatic is needed as one needs to touch buttons on the user interface
Any modern mobile phone with a browser can access you bathomatic system remotely. The prerequisite is for it to be paired with bathomatic prior to use.
Yes. bathomatic has a web server with its own “WebApp” on board. Accessing this page one needs to initially type the IP address in the browser window. Device pairing is needed
No. The hand shower position can vary and to avoid undesirable water delivery outside the bath the hand shower can only be controlled locally from the basic user interface
Some installations call for centralised control of the whirlpool. There are versions of bathomatic with bathomatic user interface controlling pumps, blowers and other whirlpool equipment from its interface, while also enabling third party systems like Crestron to have this control and omitting the original whirlpool controllers
Yes. bathomatic has being fitted to many whirlpool systems and is fully compatible. Depending on the whirlpool some alteration may be necessary. There is also a version of bathomatic called bathomatic whirlpool, which comes with additional controller for jet pumps, air-blower, LED lights and others. Due to intricacy there is no such a bundle and each enquire needs to be addressed individually
No. The bath filling automation relies on fill control of the drain including sensors, etc.
Standard bathomatic fits bath up to 11mm. For other installations extended strainers are available. The longest strainer to date (2020) was 675mm. This was not driven by the quarts stone bath, but the request of the architects to bring all equipment and pipework to the half floor below and the presence of existing electro-mechanical structures in the level below
Most installations would not distinguish from conventional primitive drains, but for accuracy, bathomatic with an optional shallow drain requires 135mm from the bottom of the bath to the floor level
Bathomatic has a smart drain and is concerned with water in the bath, regardless of where it is coming from. If the desired fill is from a waterfall, ceiling drop, invisible and silent under water jet or other fancy form of delivery, the water from the water mixer will be directed there for that fill
Bathomatic basic includes an algorithm for draining of bath water and drawing fresh hot in order to maintain the water temperature. This is both, neither Earth ethical, nor relaxing enough, as water leaves the bath, new enters, the water makes noise, all of which goes against relaxation or eco preservation
Bathomatic is designed to fit under the “shadow” of the top edge of most baths and be hidden by its apron/panels
No taps are necessary, but there have been many installations of bathomatic with hand operated taps. For this type of installation it is recommended to use of the bathomatic TO Guard functionality. The last introduces normally-opened valves in line of the supply to the manual taps. These shut the hot or both, thus preventing flooding and over-temperature fill from the manual taps.
Overflow filler and the smart drain form part of every bathomatic kit, allowing a simple swap with the existing overflow drain. With these replaced the rest is simple and up to the skill lever of any plumber or knowledgeable DIY enthusiast
Yes. bathomatic can fit roll top baths and can fill the bath from either the overflow/filler or the drain area
Yes. For special baths modified motorised drain kits are supplied
Yes, bathomatic can be installed to any bathtub, no matter of shape, depth, material or size. bathomatic has been installed on baths made from steel, stone, acrylic, precious stone, etc. “if it can hold water, it can be bathomatic automated”
There is an iShower interface designed with mobility in mind where different finger scans run different presets. The finger print to preset association needs to be made by some using a PC
Yes! This is not only limited to marble, granite and other natural stone, but can stretch to wood and other materials. If you can think of it and money is no object, it’s worth checking to see what Unique can do
iShower interfaces are available in Corian or Hi Mac (LG) colours for embedding in any Corian or HiMac showers?
Due to the technology used, interfaces are available with metal fame only. This can be in any metal finish from Copper, Nike, Silver …. to Gold and the glass is typically chosen to form an aesthetic match. This is always discussed and agreed with the customer
If pink is your colour, Yes! The iShower user interfaces are available in White, but any colour is possible to match your bathroom décor
Yes, there are 4, 8 or 12 scents dispensers available with standard iShower
iShower has hardware and software drivers for LED lights and SAD lights. As iShower comes in a form suitable for installation with any facets consideration should be taken when selecting any such options. With SkyShower this is easy as LED lights, speakers, etc. are easily integrateable.
As well as “splitting” water mixers iShower can combine them for maximum impact. For example multiple water mixers can be teamed up to delivery to a single function like a waterfall
16 fully programmable presets are available on every iShower system. The limitation are only introduced to maintain user friendliness. In a hotel use, each guest can have a set of presets making the total number of presets on particular iShower system limitless and driven from reception
Without modifications iShower system can be configured to delivery through 24 outlets up to 600 L/min at 90 psi. If a project calls for more or variations, these most likely could be accommodated
One can set the ECO flow on their iShower to reflect the minimal acceptable flow for the particular outlet. Every outlet is factory set at 33% and can be adjusted up or down. The ECO button on the user interface allows for a quick recall of ECO for each outlet. This is both comfortable and ECO friendly
A version of iShower is available where a fixed water delivery of 53/106/159/212 L/min (14/28/42/56 gpm) at 45 psi unrestricted total flow is diverted electronically through to all outlets. Legislation in some states puts restrictions on water usage and limitation of the software along are not acceptable, hence this option is the only physical evidence of the water limiting delivery
Any modern mobile phone with a browser can access you bathomatic system remotely. The prerequisite is paring of the two devices locally. There is an Apple App bringing a level of simplicity, but any mobile or computer browser can do too
Up to 12-way iShower systems are available without modifications. iShower is based on a digital principle and limitations are introduced to deal with limiting factor of plumbing, drainage and legislation.
