FAQs
What is the main advantage of GROHE SmartControl technology?
The main advantage is its intuitive operation, allowing you to start, stop, and control water volume by simply pushing and turning a button, even with soapy hands.
How does GROHE TurboStat technology work?
GROHE TurboStat uses a highly responsive wax thermoelement to ensure that your desired water temperature is reached almost instantly and maintained consistently throughout your shower, regardless of water pressure fluctuations.
What is the purpose of GROHE SafeStop?
GROHE SafeStop is a safety feature that limits the maximum water temperature to 38°C by default, preventing accidental scalding. It can be overridden by pushing a button if a higher temperature is desired.
Can I set a maximum temperature higher than 38°C?
Yes, the GROHE SafeStop feature can be overridden by pressing the dedicated button. For an even higher maximum limit, the optional GROHE SafeStop Plus can be installed to restrict the temperature to 43°C.
Does the unit come with a shower hose and head?
This product is the thermostatic shower mixer unit only. It includes the mixer, an integrated EasyReach tray, and a 5-year warranty. A separate shower hose, handset, and wall outlet are required.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
A minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar is required for the Grohtherm SmartControl mixer to function optimally.
How do I clean the GROHE StarLight chrome finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
What is included in the box?
The box contains the Grohtherm SmartControl Thermostatic Shower Mixer (model 34719000) and a 5-year warranty card. Installation components like the shower valve body, shower hose, and head are typically sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Water temperature is not consistent.
Ensure the GROHE TurboStat cartridge is not obstructed and is functioning correctly. Check for fluctuations in the main hot and cold water supply. If the issue persists, professional servicing of the thermostat may be required.
SafeStop temperature limit is not working.
The SafeStop feature requires calibration during installation. Refer to the installation manual for the correct calibration procedure. Ensure the SafeStop override button is not stuck.
Low water flow from the showerhead.
Check that the minimum pressure requirement of 1.0 bar is met. Clean any dirt strainers within the mixer and ensure the showerhead itself is not clogged. Verify that the water volume control is turned up sufficiently.
Leaking from the unit.
Inspect all connections for tightness. Check seals and O-rings for wear or damage. Ensure the built-in non-return valve is properly seated. If leaking persists, contact a qualified plumber.
SmartControl buttons are difficult to push or turn.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the buttons. If the unit is new, this may resolve itself with use. If the problem persists, the internal mechanism may require cleaning or servicing.
