Product Details


The AKW SmartCare Plus is the world’s first Bluetooth Smart electric shower. With the ability to be activated via our options of a wireless remote control or a wall-mounted on-off button, it is packed with market-leading features and technical innovations. It has unrivalled levels of control, ease-of-use and quick, easy installation, backed by a 5-year Warranty and all for an incredible price.

Intelligently designed to make showering an easier and less stressful experience for people living with visual impairment or dementia, the AKW SmartCare Plus Electric Shower benefits from a number of innovative care features and comes with a care accessory kit which addresses a range of clinical needs.

The AKW SmartCare Plus is equipped with easy-to-use push-button controls, featuring contrasting, raised tactile symbols to assist those with visual challenges. LED-illuminated indicators and audible beeps confirm adjustments in temperature and flow settings, ensuring a stress-free showering experience. The shower also memorises the last user setting, adding to its convenience.

For added safety, the shower includes a matt, anti-glare finish central control panel and rounded surfaces to reduce the risk of injury. It is BEAB Care certified, RNIB tried and tested, and DSDC dementia-friendly product accredited, ensuring reliability and peace of mind. The thermostatically stabilised temperature and maximum water temperature protection with a thermal cut-out device safeguard against overheating.

The eco setting limits the flow rate to 6 litres per minute, supporting water and energy conservation. An automatic shutdown feature prevents flooding and minimises wastage, while the phased shutdown ensures a safe and reliable start-up. Patented safety features further enhance the shower's dependability.

Included with the AKW SmartCare Plus is a comprehensive care accessory kit, featuring a 2m anti-kink hose, a 1m 150kg load-bearing riser rail, and a shelf with non-handed integral hose retainers. The lever-operated sliding handset holder and additional wall-mounted handset holder offer flexibility, while the 3-mode shower head caters to diverse preferences. The care shower kit is available in various colour choices, with options like dark blue and mid-grey rails for enhanced contrast.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, the AKW SmartCare Plus offers a blend of innovation, safety, and ease-of-use, and value for money.

For added convenience, an optional wall-mounted remote on/off button or a wireless remote control are available separately, allowing users or carers to operate the shower from up to 10m away.
