FAQs

What is the main benefit of a thermostatic shower mixer?

A thermostatic shower mixer maintains a set water temperature, preventing sudden and potentially dangerous changes in temperature (like scalding hot or freezing cold water) due to fluctuations in the water supply.

How do I switch between the overhead shower and the hand shower?

This system features a diverter, typically integrated into the mixer handle or a separate control, which allows you to switch the water flow between the overhead shower and the hand shower.

What does 'exposed' mean for the shower mixer?

An 'exposed' shower mixer means the main body of the mixer is visible on the wall surface, with water pipes connecting directly to it. This is often easier to install and maintain compared to concealed mixers.

Can I adjust the angle of the overhead shower?

Yes, the large overhead shower has an adjustable angle, allowing you to direct the spray to your preferred position for optimal comfort.

What is the Hansgrohe warranty period?

Hansgrohe provides a five-year manufacturer's warranty on this product, covering defects in materials and workmanship, subject to their terms and conditions.

How do I clean the QuickClean nozzles?

The QuickClean nozzles have flexible silicone inserts. To remove limescale or dirt, simply rub the surface of the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. This loosens any buildup.

Does this system come with a bath filler?

No, this specific model (Hansgrohe Vernis Shape Thermostatic Bar Diverter Mixer Shower) is designed as a shower system and does not include a bath filler spout.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent or fluctuating.

Ensure the thermostatic mixer is correctly installed and that both hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced. Check for any kinks in the hoses that might restrict water flow. If the issue persists, consult the manual or a professional plumber.

Low water pressure from the showerheads.

Check the main water supply to your home. Ensure there are no closed valves. Inspect the shower hoses and the showerheads for any blockages, particularly limescale buildup in the QuickClean nozzles. Clean the nozzles as per the care instructions.

The safety stop at 40°C is not functioning.

Verify that the thermostatic cartridge is properly seated and the temperature control handle is correctly aligned. If the safety stop mechanism seems faulty, contact Hansgrohe customer support or a qualified service technician.

Leaking from the mixer or shower connections.

Carefully check all connections for tightness. Ensure rubber seals or washers are correctly in place and not damaged. If leaks persist, you may need to replace a seal or fitting. Refer to the installation guide or seek professional assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This system features an exposed thermostatic shower mixer, designed for straightforward installation onto existing exposed hot and cold water pipes. Ensure you have standard plumbing connections. Follow the manufacturer's installation manual carefully for correct pipe connections and mounting.

Compatibility: The thermostatic mixer requires standard hot and cold water supplies. It is compatible with most standard UK and European plumbing systems. It is designed to be wall-mounted and is suitable for systems with adequate water pressure. Check with a qualified plumber if you have low-pressure systems or non-standard pipework.

Care: To maintain the pristine look of the chrome finish, wipe the surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup on the QuickClean nozzles, simply rub them gently with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any deposits.
