Installation & Practical Tips
The Atlantic RSS 2012 towel rail requires professional hardwired installation by a qualified electrician, as it connects directly to your home electrical circuit rather than standard outlets. Mount the RSS 2012 at 60cm above floor level on bathroom walls, ensuring adequate spacing from water sources and shower areas. The IP44 rating provides robust water and splash protection suitable for bathroom environments. The heat-conducting fluid inside the RSS 2012 distributes warmth evenly across all bars, drying towels efficiently and providing supplemental bathroom heating. Available in widths from 40–55cm, the RSS 2012 fits various bathroom layouts. Narrow series variants accommodate compact spaces. Installation requires wall anchors suitable for your wall type (tile, plaster, concrete). The electronic thermostat and boost function are easily accessible via external controls. Professional installation ensures safety, proper electrical connection, and optimal positioning for both functionality and aesthetics.
Running Costs & Energy Efficiency
The Atlantic RSS 2012 towel rail operates at maximum 1000W, resulting in hourly costs of approximately €0.07–0.11, with typical monthly expenses of €20–30 for regular bathroom use. The heat-conducting fluid provides steady, consistent warmth distributed across all bars, minimizing thermal losses. The electronic thermostat automatically maintains desired temperature, preventing unnecessary heating once the fluid reaches set temperature. The boost function delivers higher output for short periods, quickly drying towels before use without maintaining continuous high power. This boost feature is energy-efficient: use it only when towels need drying rather than constant operation. The IP44 rating ensures reliable operation in bathroom moisture without energy-wasting complications from water damage. The RSS 2012's compact size heats only the bathroom area, avoiding energy waste in unused spaces. For households seeking economical towel drying and supplemental bathroom heating, the RSS 2012 delivers excellent value with straightforward, reliable operation.
