The Hansgrohe Activera S 240 EcoSmart+ Bar Mixer Shower Bath Filler is designed for homeowners seeking a luxurious yet water-efficient showering and bathing experience. Its key benefit is the combination of a generous 240mm overhead shower with advanced water-saving technology and precise thermostatic control. A minor caveat is that the water flow limitation, while beneficial for efficiency, may require adjustment for those accustomed to higher flow rates.

EcoSmart+ technology is Hansgrohe's system for reducing water consumption. For this shower, it limits the flow rate to a maximum of 8 liters per minute, saving water and energy without significantly impacting user comfort.
The SafetyStop is pre-set to a maximum of 40°C on the Ecostat Fine thermostat. This prevents scalding by limiting the maximum hot water temperature, making it a crucial safety feature, especially for children and the elderly. You can override this limit for warmer water if needed, but the default is safe.
This shower and bath filler is generally compatible with combi boilers, provided the boiler can supply sufficient hot water and maintain the required water pressure. It's advisable to consult your boiler's specifications and a qualified plumber to confirm compatibility.
The Rain spray provides a soft, enveloping shower experience similar to rainfall. The ImpactRain spray offers a more concentrated and invigorating stream, suitable for rinsing off or for a more intense sensation.
The showerhead features QuickClean+ technology. After showering, simply wipe the flexible silicone nubs with your finger or a cloth to remove any limescale residue. For stubborn buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used.
Hansgrohe offers a 5-year guarantee on this shower and bath filler set, covering manufacturing defects.
This is an exposed installation system, meaning the water pipes and mixer are visible on the wall surface. All necessary mounting hardware is included.
Ensure the Ecostat Fine thermostat is set correctly and check for any blockages in the showerhead or hand shower. Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and providing adequate flow. The SafetyStop at 40°C is a maximum limit; the actual temperature will be lower if the incoming water is cooler.
Check for limescale buildup on the QuickClean+ nozzles and clean them as per the care instructions. Ensure the EcoSmart+ flow regulator is functioning correctly and that there are no blockages in the shower hose or within the mixer itself. Verify your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements.
Ensure the handle is properly engaged and try adjusting with steady pressure. If the issue persists, there might be internal sediment. A professional service may be required to check and clean the thermostat mechanism.
Confirm that the incoming hot and cold water temperatures are adequate and that the thermostatic mixer is functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions in the bath filler outlet.
