FAQs

What is ComfortZone 180?

ComfortZone 180 refers to the height and projection of the tap's spout, providing 180mm of clearance between the tap and the sink, allowing for more comfortable use with larger items.

How does the QuickClean technology work?

QuickClean features flexible silicone nubs on the aerator and spray head. These allow you to easily wipe away limescale and dirt buildup, maintaining optimal water flow and appearance.

What water pressure is required for this tap?

This tap is designed for high-pressure systems, requiring over 1.0 bar of water pressure to function optimally.

Can this tap be used with a boiler or instantaneous water heater?

Yes, the Hansgrohe Focus M42 is suitable for use with continuous flow water heaters.

What is the swivel range of the spout?

The spout has a 360° swivel range, offering complete flexibility for single or double sink configurations.

How do I activate and lock the shower spray?

The shower spray is activated by pressing the spray diverter. It can be locked by keeping the diverter pressed. The spray will revert to laminar flow automatically when the tap handle is closed, or can be manually switched back by pressing the diverter again.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

> Info needed: Warranty period information.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking

Check all connections, especially the water supply lines and the base of the spout. Ensure the ceramic cartridge is properly seated. If the leak persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Pull-out spray not retracting smoothly

Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed underneath the sink. Check the MagFit magnetic support for any debris. Clean the spray head nozzle.

Low water flow

Verify that your system pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1.0 bar. Clean the aerator and spray head using QuickClean technology. Check for any blockages in the supply lines.

Handle is stiff or loose

The ceramic cartridge may require adjustment or replacement. Consult the installation manual or a professional plumber.
