WHY SHOULD I SWITCH FROM A CONVENTIONAL WC TO A SHOWER TOILET?

There is no comparison between a Geberit AquaClean shower toilet and a conventional toilet. If your cleanliness and well-being are important to you, it is worth investing in a Geberit AquaClean shower toilet.

IS INSTALLING A GEBERIT AQUACLEAN SHOWER TOILET A BIG INVESTMENT?

No. The installation itself is only slightly more expensive than for a conventional WC. Depending on the building, however, minor structural modifications may also be required for the water and power supplies. The bathroom retail partner in question will know what is required when it comes to the bathroom design.

ARE THERE STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS THAT I NEED TO CONSIDER?

All you need is a mains connection. In the case of new buildings and bathroom renovations, the electrical connection should be positioned according to the chosen Geberit AquaClean shower toilet model. For retrofit solutions, the power supply can also be installed on the wall.
Ask your plumber or an electrician for professional advice if necessary.

CAN A GEBERIT AQUACLEAN SHOWER TOILET ALSO BE INSTALLED AS A RETROFIT SOLUTION?

Yes, thanks to our sophisticated technology, Geberit AquaClean shower toilets can also be installed as retrofit solutions. In conjunction with the Geberit AquaClean design panel, all Geberit AquaClean shower toilet models can be installed quickly and elegantly in your bathroom/WC. The necessary connections are hidden by a discreet glass panel. If you are renovating your bathroom and want to replace a WC that has a visible cistern, the combination of Geberit AquaClean and Geberit Monolith is an elegant alternative.

CAN I INSTALL A GEBERIT AQUACLEAN SHOWER TOILET IN A RENTED APARTMENT?

Of course. Geberit’s WC enhancement solutions are specifically designed for use in rented apartments. You can retrofit one of these solutions in your apartment and, when you move out, you can simply take it with you.

DO I HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM MY LANDLORD FIRST?

That will depend on your tenancy agreement. Generally speaking, you should not need permission as a Geberit AquaClean WC enhancement solution can simply be uninstalled at any time without any trouble. If you are unsure, however, you can of course check with your landlord.

HOW DO YOU INSTALL A WC ENHANCEMENT SOLUTION?

Your Geberit AquaClean WC enhancement solution can be installed by a plumber or other skilled person in around an hour without any conversion work and without making a mess. When you move out, the enhancement solution can be uninstalled just as easily.

HOW MUCH DO THE VARIOUS GEBERIT AQUACLEAN SHOWER TOILET MODELS COST?

The Geberit AquaClean range features a variety of products to suit any type of bathroom design. The most important basic functions can be provided by a WC enhancement solution. The top model – a complete solution with integrated WC ceramic appliance – provides numerous comfort features and additional functions, including the option to save personal profiles/settings.
Please contact your local showroom who will be able to provide detailed information about prices for your particular bathroom situation.

HOW HIGH ARE THE CONSUMPTION COSTS?

The consumption costs will vary depending on the number of people in the household, their usage habits, the particular model and functions in question and the applicable electricity mix. As costs also vary considerably for conventional WCs depending on usage and paper consumption, it is unfortunately not possible to give a concrete figure for comparison.

WILL I BE CREATING EXTRA WORK FOR MYSELF?

A Geberit AquaClean shower toilet is very low-maintenance. Thanks to its intelligent technology, the shower toilet is quick and easy to clean. On some models, you can remove the WC seat and lid in a single motion to enable more effective cleaning.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BEAR IN MIND IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE?

As the Geberit AquaClean shower toilet models feature a high-performance continuous flow heater, all appliances must be descaled at least once a year to ensure that they keep working properly.
Regular descaling will guarantee that you are able to benefit from maximum performance and, hence, maximum comfort at all times. The descaling cycle will depend on the water hardness and the number of shower cycles. The descaling process is completely harmless from an environmental perspective and is carried out in the same way as for other household appliances.
In the case of appliances with odour extraction, the catalytic odour filter should also be replaced on an annual basis in order to maintain full functionality.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION?

Things don’t often go wrong with our appliances, but if a malfunction does occur, you should be able to find help quickly in the customer service area of this website. If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, please contact the customer service team.

WHERE CAN I ORDER CONSUMABLES AND CARE PRODUCTS?

Contact your bathroom retail partner or our customer service team.

I HAVE A BALENA SHOWER TOILET. CAN I STILL GET TECHNICAL SUPPORT?

Of course. Spare parts and services are still available for older Geberit models. User manuals and other technical information for current or earlier models can be found in our customer service area.

HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE LIFE OF A GEBERIT AQUACLEAN SHOWER TOILET?

As is the case with a conventional WC, the service life of a Geberit AquaClean shower toilet will primarily depend on how carefully it is cleaned and maintained.

HOW SAFE ARE THE GEBERIT AQUACLEAN SHOWER TOILET MODELS?

The quality and safety of our Geberit AquaClean shower toilet models are our top priority. Our CE-compliant products adhere to the relevant European regulations. All Geberit AquaClean shower toilets have been tested and certified by ElectroSuisse (SEV marking) and by the SVGW/DVGW.
