A partnership agreement with the management of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium has resulted in Cheltenham based Kohler Mira being appointed as the Stadium's official supplier of shower and washroom equipment.
As a result, sports men and women competing at the stadium now have state-of-the-art showering and bathing facilities resulting from the installation of 20 Rada Sense digitally controlled showers and 12 Rada Autotherm-3 BSM bath shower mixers which, with their dual usage, have also increased the showering capacity.
Rada Autotherm 3-BSM bath shower mixers are now installed on all of the baths in the Millennium Stadium bathroom areas.
With its introduction of the Rada Sense digital water control system, Rada, the commercial shower and washroom division of Kohler Mira, has developed groundbreaking technology for the control and operation of showers, basins, baths, bidets and bath/shower mixers.
Rada Sense - which fully complies with TMV3* safe temperature criteria - brings a whole new look to washrooms with its aesthetically pleasing chrome plated no-touch control panel supported by a range of high quality fittings, ensuring it looks as much at home in a new, state-of-the-art stadium as in a sports club or leisure centre.

By equipping each of the six baths in both changing rooms with Autotherm-3 BSM's, highly advanced bath shower mixers the ability to rotate the usage of baths is increased and players have the advantage of automatic safe temperature selection when diverting hot water from bath fill to shower mode.
In an industry first, the Autotherm-3 BSM achieved TMV3 approval in both high pressure and low-pressure bath and bath/shower categories and is still the only bath shower mixer on the market with the capability to deliver one maximum temperature for bath-fill and another for showering.

Finally, for the stadium management, ease of maintenance is a major feature of both units. The Rada Sense has a range of routine maintenance and safety features that are performed electronically from the front of the installation using a hand-held computer while on the Autotherm-3 BSM, servicing can be undertaken from above the bath, saving on time, cost and disruption.
Rupert Moon, Business Development Manager at the Millennium Stadium comments; "In hosting so many top international and national sporting events it is vital that players and athletes have the very best facilities in the shower and washroom areas. Although the stadium was only opened in 1999, we have been looking to upgrade the shower and washroom facilities and now, following our agreement with Kohler Mira, we have teamed-up with the UK market leader to ensure players benefit from state-of-the-art washroom equipment," he adds.
The Rada Sense systems and Autotherm-3 BSM mixers were supplied through Faucets of Cwmbran, the UK's leading specialist distributor of commercial hand washing, showering and bathing equipment. For further information on this exciting new range of products have a look at www.radasense.com
