FAQs

Is a valve included with this shower riser rail?

No, a valve is not included with the Hansgrohe Activera S 240 Reno Varia EcoSmart Shower Riser Rail. You will need to provide or purchase a compatible valve separately.

How does EcoSmart technology work?

EcoSmart technology limits the water flow rate to 8 liters per minute, significantly reducing water consumption while maintaining a comfortable and effective shower spray.

Can I install this system myself?

The system is designed for relatively easy installation, especially in renovation projects, due to features like VarioFix mounting for existing drill holes. However, connecting to your water supply may require plumbing knowledge, and consulting a professional is recommended if you are not experienced.

What types of spray does the hand shower offer?

The hand shower offers two spray types: Rain and ImpactRain, which can be selected with the touch of a button.

How do I clean the limescale off the nozzles?

Gently rub the QuickClean+ nozzles to dislodge limescale. For more stubborn buildup, you can use a mild vinegar solution and a soft cloth, followed by a thorough rinse.

What is the purpose of the FlexPower system?

The FlexPower system automatically adjusts water pressure to ensure consistent spray quality and performance, regardless of variations in your home's water pressure.

What are the dimensions of the overhead shower?

The overhead shower head measures 240 mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure from showerhead

Check for kinks in the hoses. Ensure the main water supply is fully open. Clean the QuickClean+ nozzles for any limescale buildup. Verify that the water pressure from your home's supply meets the system's minimum requirements.

Hand shower holder is difficult to adjust

Ensure the PushSlider mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the riser rail is securely mounted to the wall.

Water leaks from connections

Ensure all hose connections are securely tightened. Check that any washers or seals are properly seated and not damaged. If leaks persist, consider replacing the faulty hose or seal.

Overhead shower spray pattern is uneven

Clean the QuickClean+ nozzles thoroughly. Ensure the hose is not restricted and water is flowing freely to the overhead shower.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant water savings without sacrificing shower experience.
  • Easy installation, especially for renovations, due to VarioFix mounting.
  • Consistent and powerful spray performance thanks to the FlexPower system.
  • User-friendly controls for selecting spray types and adjusting the hand shower.
  • Enhanced shower comfort with a large overhead shower head.
  • Limescale resistant nozzles simplify maintenance.

Cons

  • A separate valve is required for operation, adding to the total cost and installation complexity.
  • The primary connection is via a second hose, which might not be compatible with all existing tap or water connection setups.
  • Requires a minimum water pressure to function optimally.
  • The black finish might require specific cleaning agents to maintain its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Water Connection: Locate an existing water connection or tap that can supply water to the shower system.
  2. Mount Riser Rail: Use the VarioFix system to attach the riser rail to the wall. This system is designed to align with existing drill holes where possible, reducing the need for new ones.
  3. Connect Hoses: Connect the primary hose from the integrated valve (if applicable) or tap to the overhead shower. Connect the second hose from your water source to the diverter.
  4. Attach Showers: Connect the overhead shower and the hand shower to their respective outlets.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a water source with sufficient pressure to operate effectively.
  • A compatible valve is necessary for water control (not included).
  • Designed for exposed installation, ideal for retrofitting into existing bathrooms.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down all surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent water spots.
  • Limescale Removal: Gently rub the QuickClean+ nozzles to dislodge any limescale. For stubborn buildup, use a mild vinegar solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish and surfaces.
