FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this mixer?

The Hansgrohe Ecostat Thermostatic Shower Mixer Comfort requires a minimum water pressure of 1 Bar, meaning it is suitable for high-pressure systems only.

How do I adjust the 40°C safety stop?

The 40°C safety stop is adjusted during the installation process. Please refer to the product's installation manual for specific instructions on how to set this feature.

Can this mixer run both a fixed shower head and a hand shower?

No, this model is designed to run one function only. For systems requiring multiple outlets, a diverter and a different mixer type would be necessary.

What is the purpose of the Ecostop button?

The Ecostop button is a water-saving feature that limits the maximum flow rate to 10 litres per minute at 3 bar, helping to reduce water consumption without a significant loss in showering comfort.

How do I clean the brushed metallic black chrome finish?

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

What is included in the package?

The package typically includes the Thermostatic Shower Mixer Bar Valve, a Dirt Filter, and essential mounting hardware. Please check the product packaging for a full list of included items.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Hansgrohe Ecostat Thermostatic Shower Mixer Comfort comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not stable

Ensure your system meets the minimum 1 Bar pressure requirement. Check that the dirt filter is clean and that there are no blockages in the shower head or hoses.

Water is too hot, even when turned to cool

The safety stop may need to be adjusted. During installation, the maximum temperature and the 40°C safety stop are set. Refer to the installation manual for adjustment instructions.

Low water flow

Clean the dirt filter located on the inlets. Check the shower head and any connecting hoses for blockages. Ensure the Ecostop button is not preventing desired flow (though it limits to 10 l/min, it should still provide adequate flow).

Mixer appears to be leaking

Check all hose connections for tightness. Ensure any seals or washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If the leak persists from the unit itself, contact the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This mixer is designed for exposed installation, connecting to existing water supply points with flexible hoses. Ensure your plumbing system meets the minimum pressure requirement of 1 Bar. The maximum temperature can be adjusted during the installation process, and the 40°C safety stop can be set at this time. The 150mm centre distance is standard for many shower connections.

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: Suitable for high-pressure systems only (minimum 1 Bar).
  • Functions: Designed to operate one function (e.g., hand shower).
  • Installation Type: Exposed, wall-mounted.

Care:

To maintain the brushed metallic black chrome finish, clean the mixer with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. Regularly check and clean the included dirt filter to ensure optimal performance. The non-return valve should also be checked periodically as part of routine maintenance.
