Blue Ocean SPA392M Shower Panel with Rain Shower Head, Aluminum, 132 cm, 8 Multifunctional Nozzles

I have had the panel for about three months now. I am really happy with it. There are a couple of items worth mentioning I installed the unit in a typical construction grade tub/shower arrangement with curtain. This was a bit like installing a diamond in a piece of coal but my plan was to prototype a panel in the guest bath for eventual installation of a similar or nicer unit in my master bathroom. The net result is I now take all my showers in the guest bathroom. Why? Well, the panel has a temp gauge so I can easily see where I'm at when I get the shower warming up. I know what my best temps are for post workout shower and normal evening shower. I can set the faucet up and get exactly the right temp before I step in. Very cool. The panel looks great in the shower. It really looks high quality for the price. If you have hard water, be prepared to give the fascia a wipe down after your shower in order to keep it shiny. No biggie, takes me about 30 seconds. The shower head is a fixed spray but I love the rainlike quality of the shower. Water flow is very evenly distributed across the large square shower outlet and is just feels great without splashing all over the place. You could almost shower without a curtain. For those who want a massage effect you can use the hand held shower fixture which provides different spray patterns. The small spray outlets on the fascia work OK but I find them somewhat superfluous. Some people would probably like them. The install was a bit of a pain but that had to do with ancient plumbing at my place, all of which I had to cut out and replace. Good news is I was able to find all necessary parts on Amazon. Finally the shower fascia is like a mirror so you can use it to shave in the morning. There is a small flat area on top of the panel which is perfect for shaving cream and razor storage. Overall I am really happy with this shower and consider it a great value for money as of the three month point. Edit at the one year point. Still very happy have not remodeled yet but shower still looks and operates beautifully. Update 12/02/19 - well, I now have nearly two and a half years on this panel and it is going great. Couple of tips and lessons learned. 1. As mentioned in my original review. If you have anything but the softest water, invest thirty seconds of time to wipe the unit down after use. I do this and the darn thing still looks brand new. it is used a lot too. 2. When you first get the unit, pay special attention to the nut which holds the shower head to the panel. Mine is a little looser than I would like and I keep having the readjust the shower head pipe coming out of the panel. No leaks there but just an annoying adjustment. To fix this I will have to remove the panel from its brackets to get behind the fascia and tighten the nut. That is a bit of a pain so check tightness before you install. Overall I am still extremely happy. The unit continues to function perfectly. I intend to buy a second one to install in the master shower. update 08/11/23 Time flies!! But it does not seem to be flying for the shower panel. Still looks and functions like new. Couple more observations first, the nut to tighten the shower head pipe is not accessible even with the panel off the wall. As, mentioned earlier, not an issue leak wise but annoying having to tweak the orientation of the shower head from time to time. They probably have that fixed by now. The internal plumbing of this unit is the secret sauce IMO, All you need on the wall is a cold and hot water outlet. I pity those of you who have a behind the wall multi function valve. Heads up people, sooner or later you are going to have to replace this valve and it will cost a fortune. Do yourself a favor, buy a shower panel which includes the valve and plumbing. And reconfigure your bath to simply provide hot and cold water outlets (similar to what you see with a clothes washer). This way when something goes bad you can simply replace the panel and it will take you about 30 minutes AND the install will be FREE. You can buy one of the panels for the cost of two hours of plumber's labor, not that you'll have to because this thing is holding up beautifully after almost six years. 01/25/2025 - unbelievable. This darn thing still looks and works like new. I now have one in my master bath (black glass) and it works great too since 2019. I can not say enough re this panel. It continues to perform flawlessly 7 and a half years after initial install. WOW!! But, as I have said several times before, you must take a minute to wipe it down after your shower, otherwise it will begin to cake up with mineral deposits just like any other metal thing in your shower. When we finally remodel, these are going in without a shred of doubt. When my kids visit they ask if I am running a high end hotel... this thing still gleams...

Muy buena calidad y funcionamiento.

Let's jump in the features... WOW FACTOR! The first thing I noticed once I unboxed it was the craftsmanship of the panel. It is beautiful, well-made, high-quality materials, even better looking than the pictures and a surprising (but very welcome and satisfying) weight. This shower panel is built to last (see supporting reviews). Of course there are a few shortcuts with some of the components (inevitable), but not where it really counts. Installation Alert (and not because of the panel)! Do yourself a favour and watch some of the YouTube installation videos. The installation, with proper measurement and tools, looks fairly doable, right?. So the description is accurate and I gave it 5 stars on that basis. But the one thing that made me stop doing it myself: drilling into tiles. You have to have the right drill bit, and a steady hand, and really know what you are doing. I called a plumber after that; I was not taking a chance that the tile would break or crack. Plus the added incentive from the company to maintain warranty status if installed by a professional. I was very much rewarded with this decision, because where the unit was installed, the tiles are not completely level and straight (slight curvature), so the plumber and me had to do some finessing. So remember, if this is a replacement (instead of new because you are renovating), it's never a perfect scenario afterwards (take heed condo dwellers like myself, this is a recurring theme with appliances and other installations!). Totally worth the money to have an expert install the unit. Second Impression: It looks FANTASTIC! Once we were done, it looked better than I had imagined! Friends were impressed as well... But even better, the plumber commented on it as well. The fact that he thought I had paid well over $1,000 for it just kept reinforcing I had made the right choice! And yes, it is true that other hardware stores sell this unit at 3X the price listed here. Drum Roll: FIRST USE! When you marry Design with Function, this is where your experience is basically elevated. And the first time I was finally able to use the shower, the luxury experience was achieved. There are over 2,000 plus reviews you can read through for additional details. I'm just giving the sum of the total experience. Perfect. Bonus Impression: Service Fifteen days later, the panel was at a lower price with a coupon. I contacted the seller, and no muss no fuss, they refunded me the difference. Just like that. It is such a rare thing today that the service you receive is without compromise, frustration and fast and frankly achieves both surprise and delight! Now that is how you maintain your brand, and stand behind your products. Keep doing your research because it's important, but the level of stars here is not by accident. An easy 5++ stars for me, and as you have gathered, for many others as well...

No me gusta meterme a bañar y tener que estar regulando en todo momento la temperatura Sube de 36 a 40 lo trato de regular y se vuelve o a subir o bajar a menos de 34

The product arrived on schedule and was well packaged including mounting instructions and hardware. The overall installation and plumbing connections were easy to do and the entire installation took less than one hour. A couple of AA batteries power the LED temperature readout which allows C or F selection. The control s for hot and cold and the output selection are easy to use however it would be nice to be able to select more than one output at a time. You need to continually press the button below the LED screen to see the temperature. The water pressure is not strong enough but that may be more of a problem with the house plumbing then the actual unit. Overall it looks great, operates well and is good value.
