Showersafe has been designed as a cost effective and easy to implement way of reducing the risks of legionnaire?s disease. It can be installed in your existing shower roses and hoses. The unique system consists of small silver and copper filter mesh balls Dropped loosely into the rose and the hose. Filter washers retain the balls in their respective places.

Showersafe works by using silver and copper ions to kill off bacteria in the stagnant water remaining in the shower. This occurs after the shower is used, with the mesh balls falling to the lowest point in the shower hose and shower rose along with the retained water. As the water begins to stagnate, the biocidal effect of the silver and algaecidal effect of the copper combine to take effect. Showersafe gives you, peace of mind with the additional protection from Legionnaires Disease.


The "showersafe" kit contains

  • 10 silver mesh balls
  • 10 copper mesh balls
  • 2 filter washers
  • 1 waterproof label
To fit "showersafe" to a standard shower assembly

5 silver and 5 copper balls are dropped loosely into the shower rose. One of the two filter washers is fitted in the connection between the shower rose and the hose.
The stagnant water between the mixer valve and the rose is treated by putting the other 5 silver and 5 copper balls into the hose. The second filter washer is fitted at the connection between the hose and the mixer valve.
A water proof label is provided to attach to the shower to indicate it has "Showersafe" fitted.

To fit "showersafe" to rigid pipework shower assembly

If the pipe work between the mixer valve and the shower rose is rigid, the filter washer needs to be fitted into a "filter support insert" and the unit fitted into the pipe work near to the mixer valve. The "filter support insert" is easily fitted with simple compression fittings.
If the rigid pipe work is copper it is not necessary to use the copper mesh balls.

Miscellaneous Installations

The "Showersafe" kit and accessories can be used in many locations to reduce the risks with legionella bacteria, particularly little used outlets, temporary dead legs, spa pipe work, eye wash units, emergency showers etc.
Instructions are included in each kit for fitting to a shower rose and hose assembly.
