Full details
The Hansgrohe Ecostat Comfort Q Thermostatic mixer in Matte Black is an ideal solution for homeowners and installers seeking a sleek, space-saving shower control system that prioritizes safety and temperature stability. It is designed for concealed installation, providing a minimalist aesthetic while managing two separate water outlets, such as an overhead shower and a hand shower. The primary benefit is consistent, reliable temperature control with built-in scalding protection; however, users should note that the necessary iBox universal base set (model #01500180) must be purchased and installed separately.

FAQs
Is the base set included with the thermostat?
No, the iBox Universal Base Set (#01500180) is required for installation and must be purchased separately.
Does this thermostat control two showers at once?
The unit is a two-function mixer, which allows you to switch between two water outlets, but it is not typically designed to run both simultaneously at full pressure.
Can I install this myself?
Due to the complexity of in-wall plumbing and the requirement for precise installation of the base set, professional installation is strongly recommended.
What should I use to clean the matte black finish?
Use only mild soap and a soft cloth. Never use abrasive sponges or cleaning agents containing vinegar, alcohol, or chlorine, as these can damage the finish.
How do I override the SafetyStop feature?
Simply press the release button located on the temperature handle while rotating it past the 38-degree Celsius set point.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature is not reaching desired heat
Ensure the water supply valves are fully open or perform a calibration of the thermostatic cartridge if the unit has been recently installed.
Water pressure is weak or fluctuating
Check the flow adjustment settings on the unit or contact a plumber to inspect for debris in the line or issues with the main water pressure regulator.
The handle is stiff to turn
Over time, calcium deposits can build up; flush the unit or apply food-grade silicone grease to the cartridge assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this product must be performed by a qualified professional due to the requirements of the concealed, behind-the-wall plumbing. You must install the Hansgrohe iBox Universal Base Set (#01500180) first, which serves as the connection point for all water lines.
Regarding care, the black finish should be cleaned using mild, non-abrasive soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can strip the coating or create micro-scratches on the surface. Wipe down with a soft microfiber cloth after use to prevent lime scale buildup.
