Is the 4000 Aqua Series Corner-Entry Shower Right for Your Bathroom?
This 4000 Series buyers guide explains how to compare the 4080, 4090 and 4100 sizes, plan the installation and choose the right square corner-entry shower.
The 4000 Aqua Series shower cubicle is a basic, fully enclosed square corner-entry shower available in three external sizes. Two internal sliding doors meet at the corner, so there is no outward-swinging door to take up bathroom floor space.
Often called a shower pod in Australia, it combines a reinforced non-slip acrylic shower tray, opaque aqua wall panels, clear safety glass, a white powder-coated aluminium frame and the essential shower fittings in one coordinated enclosure. It suits renovators, DIY-focused buyers, landlords, builders, granny-flat projects and second bathrooms.
This complete buyers guide explains the 4080, 4090 and 4100 sizes, basic-model inclusions, plumbing and installation preparation, delivery requirements and how the 4000 compares with the round corner-entry 11000. Current price, stock and ordering remain on the separate Shop product page.
What is a fully enclosed shower cubicle or shower pod?
This 4000 Series buyers guide describes a fully enclosed shower cubicle that brings the tray, wall panels, doors and shower fittings together as a model-specific package. Unlike a conventional open shower area, the enclosure does not rely on tiled bathroom walls to form its internal shower surfaces. This can reduce grout cleaning and simplify planning where a complete shower solution is preferred.
The Aeros clip-lock enclosure assembles without silicone, glue or screws. “100% silicone-free” refers to the approved enclosure assembly. Licensed plumbing connections still require compliant materials and methods. The product is described as watertight when correctly assembled and installed; it does not mean that the surrounding room or building is waterproof.

Who this 4000 Series buyers guide is for
The 4000 Aqua Series shower cubicle suits buyers who want a space-conscious corner entry and straightforward shower functions. Because both doors slide inside the enclosure, the entry does not need outward door-swing clearance.
The 4000 Series buyers guide can help renovators, landlords and builders decide whether this corner-entry layout suits an ensuite, rental upgrade, modular building, granny flat or additional shower area. The room, plumbing, drainage and delivery route must meet the requirements below. The three square sizes help buyers balance available floor space with desired internal room.
Choose between the 4080, 4090 and 4100
The model number identifies the nominal external footprint. These are the outside measurements of the complete shower, not the internal standing area.
4080 — 800 × 800 mm
The most compact option for rooms where conserving floor space is the priority.
4090 — 900 × 900 mm
A middle size that provides more showering room while retaining a compact square footprint.
4100 — 1000 × 1000 mm
The largest 4000 size for buyers who have the available footprint and prefer more internal room.
Measure the proposed position at several points and check adjacent doors, vanities, toilets, skirting, wall projections and working space for assembly. Do not select a size only from an old tray measurement or a website image.
Square corner-entry layout and internal sliding doors
The 4000 is correctly described as a square corner-entry shower. Its two sliding doors meet at the corner to create the entry opening. Both doors move within the shower footprint, helping preserve usable bathroom floor space.
The door hardware includes straight-grip handles and push-button quick-release bottom rollers. The lower roller release assists cleaning access while keeping the doors correctly located during normal operation. Confirm the planned reversible door and wall orientation against the current model-specific assembly information before plumbing and final assembly.
4000 Series buyers guide to shower functions and inclusions
This 4000 Series buyers guide separates the confirmed basic-model inclusions from deluxe features that are not fitted to the 4000.
Every basic 4000 Aqua Series model includes:
- Flick mixer.
- Adjustable rainfall shower arm with a 2-way diverter.
- Rainfall shower head.
- Three-function hand shower and hand-shower hose.
- One storage basket.
- Internal plumbing hoses connecting the supplied shower components.
The 4000 does not include back jets, a deluxe three-way mixer/diverter or a waterfall spout.
Accessories, basket and internal storage
The 4000 includes one storage basket for keeping commonly used shower items within easy reach. This is the model’s dedicated internal storage fitting. The 4000 does not include shampoo dispensers or an internal grab bar, so buyers should compare the confirmed inclusions before choosing between a basic and deluxe Aeros shower cubicle.
How the rainfall-arm two-way diverter works
The separate 2-way diverter on the adjustable rainfall shower arm switches between the rainfall shower head and the hand shower.
This is the only diverter control on the basic 4000 model. The flick mixer controls water flow and temperature. Water pressure and the property’s plumbing conditions influence outlet performance; the shower’s maximum operating pressure is 500 kPa.
Construction, safety glass and Aqua panels
The enclosure uses 5 mm AS/NZS 2208 safety glass in a white powder-coated aluminium frame. Opaque aqua-coloured wall panels form the background behind the fittings, while the front door panels are clear. The safety glass is covered by CSI Licence 7671.
The 4000 Series buyers guide highlights an important installation rule: safety glass is drilled and prepared before tempering during manufacture. Tempered glass must never be drilled, cut or modified on site. Installers must use only factory-prepared holes and model-specific components.
The Aeros clip-lock system joins the enclosure without screws, glue or silicone. This supports simpler assembly and allows the enclosure to be dismantled later if required.
Reinforced base, levelling and entry height
As explained in this 4000 Series buyers guide, the non-slip acrylic shower tray is reinforced by a steel base-support frame and adjustable levelling legs. The legs allow the tray to be levelled on a suitable load-bearing floor before the enclosure is completed.
The base entry height is 220 mm. Buyers should consider this step when planning access and suitability. Safe working clearances and compliant water and waste connections are still required.
Water-supply preparation and licensed plumbing
Two mini stops and external stainless-steel braided supply hoses are required to connect the premises’ hot and cold water supply to the shower’s water inlets. They are different from the included internal plumbing hoses.
The preferred water-supply height is approximately 2150 mm where practical. Mini-stop positions and external hose routing must remain accessible and should be planned with the installer. A licensed plumber must complete the water-supply connections and confirm compliance with local requirements. Use the 4000 Series buyers guide measurements when planning these services with your installer.
Rainfall shower, hand shower and WELS details
The overhead rainfall shower provides the main showering outlet, while the hand shower offers a more directed spray for rinsing, cleaning the enclosure and assisting different users. The two-way diverter on the adjustable rainfall arm switches between these outlets.
WaterMark identifies plumbing and drainage products certified for use under the Australian plumbing product certification scheme where applicable. The 4000 uses its confirmed WaterMark plumbing components as supplied. The confirmed WELS registration is S14515, rated at 3 stars with a flow rate of 9.0 litres per minute. Australian Government WELS information allows buyers to compare registered water-using products on a consistent basis. Maximum operating pressure is 500 kPa; arrange pressure reduction where required.
Waste position, drainage and macerator compatibility
The 4000 includes a 50 mm horizontal waste plug. The confirmed waste position is 260 × 260 mm. The waste connection can be accessed from inside the shower. Use the drainage details in this 4000 Series buyers guide when discussing the final waste route with your installer.
A compatible macerator may be considered where a normal gravity-drainage route is unavailable. Macerator selection, pipework, falls, traps, discharge requirements and compliance must be assessed for the specific property by an appropriately qualified installer.
4000 Series buyers guide to height and installation clearances
The 4000 Series buyers guide measurements below help buyers check ceiling height, access and service positions before delivery.
The adjustable rainfall shower arm gives the completed shower an approximate height range of 2150–2290 mm. The minimum installation height is 2150 mm, although extra working clearance may be needed during assembly and adjustment.
Measure at the exact shower position and check sloping ceilings, bulkheads, beams, lights, fans and other overhead obstructions. Plan the complete external footprint, corner-entry access, plumbing routes, waste route, service access and safe movement around nearby fixtures.
Follow only current 4000 Aqua Series assembly information for the selected 4080, 4090 or 4100. Never drill tempered glass and never scale an installation dimension from a product photograph.
Cleaning and ongoing maintenance
The enclosed aqua panels and clear glass avoid the grout lines found in a conventional tiled shower enclosure, reducing grout-maintenance work and helping with mould prevention by removing grout from inside the enclosure. Routine cleaning and ventilation are still required.
Use products suitable for acrylic, powder-coated aluminium, plumbing finishes and safety glass. Push-button quick-release bottom rollers assist cleaning access around the lower doors. Keep tracks, rollers, waste and outlets free of build-up, and use genuine model-specific replacement parts.
Four cartons and two-pallet freight arrangement
Each 4000 Aqua Series shower is packed into four cartons across two pallets.
- Pallet 1 — three cartons: rear wall carton, door carton and middle panel carton.
- Pallet 2 — one carton: shower tray containing all accessories.
The glass and component cartons are grouped on Pallet 1. The shower tray carton and packed accessories are on Pallet 2. Use the model-specific pallet measurements below when planning freight, unloading and storage.

Each 4000 Aqua Series shower is packed into four cartons across two pallets: three glass-component cartons on Pallet 1 and one shower-tray carton with the accessories packed inside on Pallet 2.
Delivery, unloading and storage
This 4000 Series buyers guide recommends confirming carrier access to the delivery address and prepare a safe, dry location for both pallets. Arrange enough capable assistance and suitable handling equipment for the glass and tray packages. Do not expect one person to manually handle complete pallets or large glass cartons.
Keep cartons upright where marked, protect them from impact and weather, and inspect the delivery before installation. Allow a clear route from unloading point to assembly area, including gates, paths, lifts, stairs, doorways and turning space. Report transport damage promptly under the current Aeros process.
4000 Aqua Series versus 11000 Aqua Series
Use this 4000 Series buyers guide comparison to choose between the square 4000 and round 11000 layouts before ordering.
| Feature | 4000 Aqua Series | 11000 Aqua Series |
|---|---|---|
| Entry shape | Square corner entry | Round corner entry |
| Doors | Two internal sliding doors meeting at the corner | Curved internal sliding doors |
| Equivalent footprint | Provides more internal showering room | Provides less internal room, but its curved front can preserve more usable bathroom floor space |
| Main control | Flick mixer | Flick mixer |
| Rainfall-arm diverter | 2-way: rainfall shower head or hand shower | 2-way: rainfall shower head or hand shower |
| Back jets / waterfall | Not included | Not included |
| Storage | One basket | One basket |
Choose the 4000 when maximising internal room within a square footprint is the priority. Consider the 11000 where the curved front may preserve more usable bathroom floor area around nearby fixtures. Confirm current size, price, availability and exact Shop-page inclusions before ordering.
