    Aqualisa: a Better Shower

    • 2365 Words
    • 10 Pages

    The plumbing system in the United Kingdom is very inconsistent due to the varying age of the buildings making shower temperature and pressure challenging to control. Aqualisa designed the Quartz system to address these issues by integrating an electronic controller into the plumbing of the shower unit. After development and field testing, most believed this would take over the market and propel Aqualisa into a powerful position in the shower industry.
