Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the EcoSmart feature?

The EcoSmart feature significantly reduces water consumption by up to 60% without compromising shower performance, leading to lower water and energy bills and a reduced environmental impact.

How does QuickClean technology work?

QuickClean uses flexible silicone nubs on the shower spray discs. A simple wipe over these nubs easily removes limescale and dirt, ensuring the shower head remains clean and performs optimally.

Is this shower system suitable for low-pressure water systems?

The Crometta S Showerpipe 240 is primarily designed for and performs best with high-pressure systems. Performance in low-pressure environments may be reduced.

What is the purpose of the 40°C safety lock?

The 40°C safety lock is a feature of the thermostatic mixer that prevents the water temperature from exceeding 40°C, providing an important safety measure against scalding, especially for children and the elderly.

What is included in the complete package?

The complete package includes the overhead shower (Crometta S 240), hand shower (Vario), thermostatic mixer (Ecostat 1001 CL), a 1.6m Isiflex shower hose, a slider for the hand shower, and a shower bar.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.

What is the installation type of this shower system?

This is an exposed installation system, meaning the thermostatic mixer is visible on the wall and connects directly to the hot and cold water feeds.

Troubleshooting

Thermostat not maintaining temperature

Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and that the water pressure is adequate. Check if the adjustable hot water limitation or the 40°C safety lock has been inadvertently engaged.

Low water flow or weak spray

Verify that the water pressure in your home meets the system's requirements for high-pressure systems. Check for blockages in the showerhead nozzles (use QuickClean) or the hose. Ensure the EcoSmart flow rate has not been further restricted by external valves.

Leaking from the mixer or connections

Check that all connections are tightened correctly. Ensure the seals and O-rings are intact. If leaks persist, the internal components of the thermostat may require servicing or replacement.

Hand shower spray modes not changing

Ensure the control mechanism on the hand shower is functioning correctly. Rotate the spray disc firmly to switch between modes. If the mechanism is stiff, limescale may be the cause; attempt to clean with a vinegar solution.

Pros and Cons

  • Comprehensive package including all essential shower components.
  • Water and energy savings through EcoSmart technology.
  • Easy maintenance with QuickClean feature.
  • Enhanced safety with a 40°C temperature lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shower system is designed for exposed installation, meaning the thermostatic mixer is visible on the wall, directly connecting to the hot and cold water supply. This method is often simpler and less costly than concealed installations, especially suitable for brick walls. Ensure your existing plumbing provides standard 1/2″ connections and a 150mm (± 12mm tolerance) centre distance for the mixer.

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: Compatible with high-pressure systems. Performance in low-pressure systems may be reduced.
  • Water Heaters: Compatible with combi boilers and other high-pressure hot water systems.
  • Connections: Utilizes standard 1/2″ connection threads.

Care:

To maintain the shower system's appearance and function:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe the chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  2. Limescale Removal: For the spray discs, gently rub the flexible silicone nubs after each use to dislodge any mineral buildup. For more stubborn deposits, use a mild vinegar-based cleaner and a soft cloth. The QuickClean feature facilitates this process.
  3. Hose Maintenance: Periodically check the Isiflex hose for any kinks or damage. Ensure connections are secure.

Guarantee: The product comes with a 5-year guarantee, with spare parts available for 15 years.
