ALFRESCO cold water shower / plumbed

All Hydra products and packaging are sold as fully recyclable or reusable, as such we encourage all of our customers to recycle old packaging and at the end of the products life to recycle or re purpose our products.

While Hydra don't warrant our products for cold weather climates they have had customers install them with great success in the past. They do however recommend you winterise any plumbing fittings installed in an area that may reach freezing temperatures.

If you are fitting a shower outdoors it is recommended that it can be isolated before the water reaches the outdoor environment and that you include a way to drain all water from your outdoor plumbing to ensure it cant freeze. 

While copper and brass are both strong plumbing materials they aren't indestructible and freezing water can expand and cause your pipes to split or crack, destroying fittings and causing leaks once thawed. 

If you plan to install our fittings in a cold environment please consult with your installer or plumber before hand and ensure they install appropriate winterising systems to keep your fittings safe.
