FAQs
What is the main benefit of a thermostatic bath mixer?
The primary benefit is precise temperature control, ensuring a stable and safe water temperature. It prevents sudden scalding or cold shocks, making it ideal for families.
Can I install this mixer on any wall?
This mixer is designed for exposed installation, meaning it mounts directly onto the wall surface. Ensure your wall can support the fixture and that your plumbing is accessible for connection.
How do I clean the polished bronze finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For limescale, gently rub the silicone nubs on the spout.
What is the purpose of the 40°C safety stop?
The 40°C safety stop is a feature designed to prevent scalding by limiting the maximum water temperature to 40°C. The maximum temperature can be adjusted during installation if needed.
What water pressure is required for this mixer to function correctly?
The mixer requires a minimum operating pressure of 1 bar to function optimally. Ensure your home's water system meets this pressure requirement.
How many water outlets can this mixer control?
The Hansgrohe Ecostat thermostatic bath mixer is designed to run two outlets, such as a bath spout and a hand shower.
What is included with the mixer?
The mixer includes a thermostat cartridge, a shut-off/diverter valve, a 194mm long spout, a non-return valve, a dirt filter, and s-shaped connections. WRAS approval is also standard.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Hansgrohe provides a five-year manufacturer's guarantee for this thermostatic bath mixer, offering assurance of its quality and durability.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature is not consistent.
Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 1 bar is met. Check that the thermostat cartridge is functioning correctly and that the temperature limitation has not been set too low. Clean any filters that may be clogged.
Low water flow from the spout or shower.
Clean the dirt filter located at the inlet. Check for blockages in the spout or showerhead, and use the QuickClean silicone nubs to remove limescale. Ensure water pressure is adequate.
The diverter between bath and shower is stiff or not working.
Check for any debris or limescale buildup around the diverter mechanism. Ensure the connections are secure and that the valve is not damaged. Professional servicing may be required if the issue persists.
Water leaks from the unit.
Check all connections for tightness. Inspect any seals or O-rings for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the non-return valve is correctly installed.
Safety lock at 40°C is not effective.
Verify that the temperature limitation has been correctly adjusted during installation according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the issue persists, the thermostat cartridge may need adjustment or replacement.
