Dolphin "Special Care" Bathrooms

These people target the Elderly and Infirm with offers of over-priced
bathrooms, and then seem only to give them bad advice and poor
service.
Here is an example of their behaviour:

Does anyone else have similar experience with these people?

Since this is a COMPuter vendors newsgroup, you might want to try
somewheer where this question is a little bit more on-topic.

Yep, upgrading them is a sod. They don't use standard connectors
meaning that to upgrade the bath mat it requires a new shower head,
taps and usually a plug. I know they only assembly and don't make the
units themselves but they are made by external companies to their
spec.

On top of that the design makes putting a decent fan and heat sink on
a problem as it interfeers with the bidet rim. They also swap round
the wiring to the pumps so when the power shower breaks down you have
to re-wire your entire house and change the local sub station (this
can usually be done fairly easily but may require some cutting in to
the foundation concrete to make it fit).

I'd recomend going to your local fair and buying the parts yourself.
If may cost a little more but you can tune the hot and cold mix much
better to match your needs. You also know exactly what type of water
you are getting out of the unit and if you need to upgrade later (say
to gold effect shower head (fnarr)) you know how everything is built.

They are OK for buisness use if you just want to swap them add hoc
though when they fail but not so recomended for home use.





Sub note: Oh apparently someone just told me its Dolphin not Dellfin
oh well I feel silly now :-)
