Product Information
Full details
The Hansgrohe Vernis Blend 2-Hole Bath Mixer in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a timeless and elegant bath tap solution, especially in properties with low water pressure. Its key benefit is efficient filling of the bathtub even under low pressure, combined with durable, easy-to-use controls. A potential consideration is that it is a two-handle mixer, requiring separate control for water temperature and flow, which some may find less convenient than a single-lever system.

FAQs
Is this mixer suitable for very high water pressure systems?
While designed for low pressure, it can function in higher pressure systems. However, if you have consistently very high pressure, it's always advisable to use a pressure-reducing valve to protect your plumbing and the mixer.
What type of cartridge does this mixer use?
This mixer uses high-quality ceramic valves, known for their durability and smooth operation.
How do I clean the chrome finish without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with another soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I use this mixer if my bathtub only has one hole?
No, this is a 2-hole mixer and requires two separate openings on the bathtub rim for installation.
How long can I expect spare parts to be available?
Hansgrohe guarantees the availability of spare parts for up to 15 years after the product range is discontinued.
Does the mixer come with flexible hoses for connection?
The product description does not specify inclusion of hoses. Typically, supply hoses are sold separately or are part of the plumbing installation kit. Please check product packaging or consult with your supplier.
What are the dimensions of the mixer?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information. For detailed measurements, please refer to the official Hansgrohe technical specifications or product diagrams.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow from spout
Check if the flow is restricted due to low incoming water pressure. Ensure the mixer is properly installed and there are no kinks in the supply lines. Clean any aerator if present on the spout (refer to installation manual).
Dripping from spout when handles are off
This may indicate worn ceramic valves. Contact customer support for replacement parts or consider professional servicing.
Handles feel loose
The ceramic valves are designed to prevent loosening. If a handle feels excessively loose, inspect it for damage or contact Hansgrohe support for guidance.
Inconsistent water temperature
Ensure both hot and cold water supply lines are functioning correctly and providing adequate flow. Adjust handles slowly for precise temperature control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a two-hole, rim-mounted bath mixer, meaning it requires installation directly onto the edge of the bathtub, with two distinct openings for the spout and the handles. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and connection to water supply lines. Ensure your bathtub or mounting surface has the correct two-hole configuration.
Compatibility: Specifically designed to function optimally with low water pressure systems. It connects to standard UK water supply fittings.
Care: To maintain the brilliant shine of the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
