This document summarizes the U.K. shower market in the 1990s and introduces the Aqualisa Quartz, a new shower technology. The market was previously dominated by electric showers, mixer showers, and power showers, which all had issues like low pressure, temperature fluctuations, and bulkiness. The Aqualisa Quartz aimed to provide an easy to use, accurate temperature and pressure control shower that was compact and could be remotely controlled, without wall excavation. However, it initially struggled with skepticism from plumbers and customers, and higher prices compared to existing products meant it had trouble gaining traction, selling primarily through existing customer relationships rather than expanding into new markets and channels.
