Electronics in the bathroom should make life easier while at the same time meeting the user’s individual needs. This is sufficient reason for Viega to extend the successful bathtub fitting series Multiplex Trio E with two new models combining intuitive operating comfort with excellent design. The model’s services are now also provided via two separate operating elements. The temperature and filling level can be individually selected, stored and recalled with the help of a memory function. The entire concept, which was created in cooperation with the Artefakt design agency from Darmstadt, once again convinced the trade and the Multiplex Trio E3 was awarded the coveted award “Design Plus powered by ISH”.
The user can choose his preferred settings in an intuitive and self-explanatory way using both operating elements. The desired temperatures as well as command “water stream” are selected on the Multiplex Trio E2. The second element controls the water volume as well as switching to the hand shower. An illuminated light indicates current values by colour or intensity. If the user has saved the preferred settings, the electronically controlled bathtub fitting controls the water level and the temperature. When the desired water level has been reached, the flow stops automatically. There is no need to watch the bathtub when filling!
The Multiplex Trio E3 version goes one step further in technical development – one of the operating elements is fitted with a display. This shows the current temperature and, at a touch, the user menu displays all other functions for filling the bathtub. The understated design language clearly focuses on the quality of the new digital technology and uses familiar style elements.
Both bathtub fittings offer protection against scalding and are equipped with a temperature shut-off. Users who wish to have the water temperature above 38 °C must consciously continue to turn the operating element clockwise. In this case, one revolution only increases the temperature by two degrees.
