SCHELL MODUS shower thermostat for all-round protection
It is a well-known fact that people who have reduced motor function are more susceptible to scalding injuries. Kids and the elderly also face an enhanced risk because their skin is thinner in comparison. Therefore, anti-scalding protection becomes especially necessary in private and public nursing facilities. The risk of injury is not only present in washbasins but also in the shower. SCHELL has, therefore, recently launched its first shower fitting in the MODUS series which provides anti-scalding protection.
The SCHELL MODUS shower thermostat comes with ThermoProtect – Technology that prevents hot burns by limiting the water temperature at the outlet even if the cold water supply dwindles or the line fails. The thermally insulated housing of the fitting is armed with IsoBody – Technology which does not allow the fitting to get perceptibly hot. Thus, any physical contact will not cause any nuisance or injuries. This is crucial for children and others with slower reaction times, especially in settings like nursing homes, schools, and hospitals where shower facilities must be as safe as possible.
Therefore, the SCHELL MODUS shower thermostat, which ensures a steady water temperature when showering and can also be precisely regulated by the user, provides the utmost convenience and legitimate safety.
The product is priced in an affordable range which makes it accessible to those on a tight budget. Furthermore, the resilient all-metal design renders it vandal proof making it ideal for use in both residential as well as commercial settings.

MODUS shower thermostat and sustainability
Staying true to the core philosophy of sustainability, the plumbing fitting by SCHELL is BREEAM and LEED-ready. It manages to remain sustainable by reducing the litre flow volume thereby conserving water, a crucial renewable resource. Also, the MODUS shower thermostat is a well-designed fitting that comes with easy-to-use handles and control markings. All in all, the product serves a supremely functional role and is marked by the unquestionable quality of SCHELL plumbing fittings.
Unique features
1. Reliable protection with ThermoProtect technology: The shower thermostat features ThermoProtect technology for scald protection. While the water temperature can be regulated up to 38°C in normal usage, the rise to a maximum of 43°C is only achievable by pressing a button on the unlockable temperature lock. The water does not heat up over 43°C under any circumstances, including a failure of the cold water supply or changes in system pressure.
2. IsoBody technology that reduces the risk of burns: Even while taking a hot shower, the thermally isolated casing of the Modus shower thermostat does not heat up. As a result, it is a secure option for barrier-free construction, such as in healthcare facilities or hospitals.
3. Robust and easily adjustable: The shower thermostat mode particularly stands out for its simple and comfortable operation; even with wet hands, users can easily grasp the ergonomic sash handles. With a quick rotation of only 90 degrees, quantity management is already available. In addition, the shower thermostat is particularly strong and long-lasting due to its resilient all-metal design. It is vandal-proof, which is helpful in (semi-)public and commercial spaces that see a lot of foot traffic.
