SaniNova

Last summer a new customer phoned ShowerServe to investigate a faulty SaniNova shower/steam cabinet. It wasn't letting the water come through at a reasonable showering temperature. 99% of all thermostatic showers will require a thermostatic cartridge replacement or certainly a descale and service. This particular cartridge was damaged and so required a new cartridge, unbeknown to me at the time was that SaniNova had gone bust. I spent about 8 weeks trying to track down, source and find products & answers as to where all the spares may be but with no other answers except, "They went bust"!! In the mean time the customer was very understanding and patient while i tried to come up with a solution that wouldnt involve throwing away their steam cabinet. I finally sourced a replacement shower valve that with a bit of modification fitted into the SaniNova Cabinet. Since then i have made it a personal quest to find products that will fit SaniNova products.
SaniNova still produce acrylic baths and panels to date. They are under the control of a North American company called MAAX. They have no information on the past suppliers that SaniNova used when it was producing its products in Europe. I cannot believe that a company that produced 100s of 000s of these units just disappears without leaving some clues as to where its parts originated from!
If anyone reading this had any connection with SaniNova at all and may have info on these mysterious suppliers then ShowerServe would love for you to get in touch!
