FAQs

What is the purpose of the SafetyStop function?

The SafetyStop is a built-in feature that limits the maximum hot water temperature to 40°C. This helps prevent scalding, making it a safer choice for bathrooms used by children or the elderly. You can override it by pressing the button if a higher temperature is desired.

How do I clean the mixer to prevent limescale buildup?

The mixer features QuickClean silicone nubs on the spout. Gently rub these nubs with your finger or a soft cloth to break up and remove limescale. For the rest of the mixer, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners.

Can I install this mixer myself?

While the mixer comes with S-connections for easier installation, it is a plumbing fixture. If you are comfortable with basic plumbing tasks, you may be able to install it yourself. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure it is fitted correctly and to avoid potential leaks or damage.

What is the warranty period for this product?

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

How long will spare parts be available?

Hansgrohe guarantees the availability of spare parts for 15 years after the discontinuation of the product model.

Does this mixer control both bath and shower flow?

Yes, this is a bath and shower mixer valve. It allows you to switch between bath filling and shower use, controlling both water flow and temperature.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly. Check that hot and cold water supplies are adequate and balanced. If issues persist, the cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Low water flow.

Check for blockages in the showerhead, hose, or within the mixer's internal components. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Clean the aerator and showerhead.

SafetyStop button is difficult to press or stuck.

Gently try to dislodge the button. Limescale build-up might be the cause. Clean the area around the button with a mild descaler. If it remains stuck, professional servicing may be required.

No hot water or only lukewarm water.

Verify that the hot water supply is functioning correctly to the mixer. Check the thermostat setting and ensure the SafetyStop hasn't been permanently engaged. The thermostatic cartridge might need attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Hansgrohe Ecostat Element is designed for wall-mounted installation. It typically connects to existing hot and cold water supplies via the included S-connections, which screw onto the water outlets on the wall.

  3. Mount the thermostatic mixer onto the S-connections.

  5. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Works with standard shower hoses.
  • Requires separate hot and cold water supply lines.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • To remove limescale, gently rub the QuickClean silicone nubs on the spout. For the mixer body, a mild detergent and a soft cloth can be used.
  • Periodically check for leaks and ensure all connections are secure.
