FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

We use extractor fans if there is likely to be a need but we haven’t experienced difficulties in this area.
WashPod panels and parts are extremely robust so we’re confident that their life expectancy would be 10 – 15 years if they are treated reasonably. We will deep clean and refurbish the WashPod between applications, so this should not be an issue.
This would only ever apply to the External WashPod. They have been classed as temporary structures and because of their small size (under 15 square metres), largely excluded from the need to worry about planning permissions. However, we always recommend that you have a chat with your planning department to make sure they are happy as the interpretation of the planning issues may vary from one local authority to another.
Yes, you can specify what you want internally. You might prefer not to have a toilet at all and keep it as a shower solution. The Standard and Large WashPod both have plenty of room for a hoist and the panels are sufficiently robust to carry a hoist tested to 200kg.

A wash-dry toilet is also fine on all our models, except the Micro which is shower-only. We can advise on which ones will work in best in each of our WashPods.
We can react very quickly and will pull out all the stops for urgent cases. Typically, however, we can go from enquiry to installation in 1 – 4 weeks depending on the model and whether it’s already in stock.
We use a Digipump, Macerator and Saniflow teaming that manages the waste-water and sewerage. We run two pipes from the WashPod to the most suitable place in the property to plumb directly into the property’s own domestic systems. These pipes can go quite a long way (100m) which means that the WashPod does not need to be in the same room or even in the same part of the house.
