Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is EcoSmart technology?

EcoSmart technology is a hansgrohe innovation that reduces water consumption by up to 40% without compromising on performance or user experience. It achieves this through flow limitation and special aerator designs.

How do I switch between the different spray modes?

You can switch between the PowderRain, IntenseRain, and massage spray modes using the intuitive 'Select' button located on the shower head or mixer control.

Is this system suitable for a power shower?

The system is compatible with standard water pressures (1.0 - 6.0 bar). While it works with most systems, extremely high or low pressures might affect performance. It is recommended to check your specific water pressure.

Can I replace the shower hose with a longer one?

Yes, the shower hose can typically be replaced with any standard compatible shower hose. Ensure the thread size matches your existing connections.

How do I clean the shower head nozzles?

The Pulsify shower head features hansgrohe's QuickClean technology. Simply rub the silicone nozzles with your finger to remove limescale deposits. For tougher buildup, use a soft cloth with a mild detergent or a vinegar solution.

What is the benefit of an exposed mixer?

An exposed mixer is installed on the surface of the wall, making installation generally quicker and easier as it does not require cutting into the wall. This is ideal for renovations or situations where concealed piping is not feasible.

Does the thermostatic mixer have a safety temperature stop?

Yes, the Ecostat thermostatic mixer includes a safety stop function, typically set at 38°C, to prevent accidental scalding. This can be overridden if a higher temperature is desired.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is not consistent.

Ensure the thermostatic mixer is functioning correctly. Check if the hot and cold water supply is adequate and properly connected. If problems persist, the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Check for blockages in the shower head nozzles (limescale buildup) and clean them using the QuickClean function or a vinegar solution. Inspect the shower hose for kinks or internal obstructions. Verify your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirement.

Select button is difficult to operate.

Ensure the button is free from debris. Sometimes, mineral deposits can hinder smooth operation; try cleaning around the button mechanism gently. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Leaking from connections.

Ensure all connections are tightened correctly according to the installation manual. Check that any seals or washers are properly seated and undamaged. If leaks continue, professional inspection may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and safe water temperature control thanks to the thermostatic mixer.
  • Versatile shower experience with multiple spray modes on the Pulsify shower head.
  • Water and energy savings with EcoSmart technology.
  • Easy installation with exposed fittings, suitable for various bathroom setups.
  • User-friendly controls, accessible even with wet or soapy hands.

Cons

  • Exposed installation may not appeal to users seeking a completely concealed look.
  • Requires specific water pressure to function optimally.
  • Initial setup may still require professional plumbing knowledge.
  • The included hose length (1.60 m) might be limiting for very large shower spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This system is designed for exposed installation, meaning all connections are visible on the wall surface. Ensure you have appropriate hot and cold water supply lines readily available at the desired height. The system typically connects directly to existing ½-inch supply points.

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: Requires a minimum water pressure, typically around 1.0 - 6.0 bar, for optimal performance. Check your home's water pressure before installation.
  • Connections: Standard ½-inch connections for water supply.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild household cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the chrome finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any visible leaks at the connections. The thermostatic cartridge may require professional servicing or replacement over time, depending on water quality and usage. Ensure the shower head nozzles are free from limescale; most hansgrohe shower heads have QuickClean technology for easy descaling by rubbing the nozzles.
