FAQs

What is EcoSmart technology?

EcoSmart technology is Hansgrohe's innovative system designed to reduce water consumption by up to 40% without compromising on user experience. It achieves this by limiting the flow rate and optimizing the mixing of water with air.

How do I switch between spray modes?

You can switch between the 'Rain' and 'IntenseRain' spray modes by simply rotating the spray disc on the shower head until your desired mode is selected.

What water pressure is required for this shower kit?

This shower kit is designed for high-pressure systems and performs best with a minimum operating pressure of 1.0 bar. The maximum recommended operating pressure is 10.0 bar.

How do I clean the shower head to prevent limescale?

The shower head features QuickClean nozzles. After showering, simply rub these silicone nubs gently with your finger or a dry cloth to dislodge any limescale. For stubborn buildup, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by rinsing.

Is the shower hose length adjustable?

The shower hose is a fixed 1.6 meters in length, providing ample reach. The shower head itself can be adjusted in height and angle along the shower bar.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Hansgrohe Vernis Blend EcoSmart Shower Kit is backed by Hansgrohe's five-year manufacturer's warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I use this shower kit with a low-pressure system?

This kit is optimized for high-pressure systems (above 1.0 bar). While it may function in lower pressure systems, the flow and performance of the spray modes may be significantly reduced.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from shower head

Check that the water pressure is above 1.0 bar. Ensure the QuickClean nozzles are free from limescale by rubbing them gently. Verify that the shower hose is not kinked or blocked.

Spray pattern selection is difficult

Ensure the spray disc is rotated firmly to switch between 'Rain' and 'IntenseRain' modes. If stiff, clean around the disc with a damp cloth.

Water leaks from connections

Tighten the shower hose connections at both the shower head and the valve. Check that any washers or seals are correctly seated and undamaged. If leaks persist, contact a qualified plumber.

Shower bar feels loose

Ensure the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall. Check that the wall anchors are appropriate for your wall type and are firmly embedded.

  • Consistent, satisfying water flow (XXL Performance).

Cons

  • Requires a minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar for optimal performance.
  • Limited spray pattern options compared to more advanced models.
  • The design is functional but may not be as feature-rich as premium lines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Hansgrohe Vernis Blend EcoSmart Shower Kit typically involves mounting the shower bar to the wall and connecting the shower hose to the shower valve and head. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. The slider can be easily moved up and down the bar to adjust height.

Compatibility: This shower kit is designed for use with standard UK/European high-pressure domestic water systems (minimum 1.0 bar operating pressure). It is compatible with most standard shower valves and plumbing systems. The maximum operating pressure is 10.0 bar.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your shower kit, regularly clean the QuickClean nozzles. Gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a dry cloth to remove any limescale buildup. For the chrome finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.
