FAQs

What is PowderRain technology?

PowderRain is a spray technology by Hansgrohe that uses thousands of micro-droplets to create a gentle, enveloping, and quiet shower experience, similar to a light rain.

How does EcoSmart technology save water?

EcoSmart limits the flow rate to approximately 8 liters per minute by incorporating flow limiters and air injection, reducing water consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional showers while maintaining shower performance.

Can I replace just the overhead shower or the handset?

Yes, the system allows for individual replacement of parts. Spare parts are available for 15 years after the product's discontinuation.

What is the main benefit of a thermostatic mixer?

A thermostatic mixer ensures a constant water temperature throughout your shower, protecting you from sudden temperature fluctuations caused by other water usage in the home.

Is this shower suitable for a power shower or combi boiler system?

Yes, the thermostatic mixer is designed to work with various water systems, including combi boilers and power showers, provided your system meets the minimum water pressure requirements.

How do I clean the shower to prevent limescale?

Wipe the shower surfaces with a damp cloth. For the showerheads, gently rub the silicone nozzles to remove any limescale buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

What is included in the box?

The package includes the hansgrohe Ecostat Fine Thermostatic Dual Exposed Mixer Shower, the Pulsify S Puro 260 overhead shower, a Pencil handset, and S-connections for installation.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature is inconsistent.

Ensure the thermostatic mixer is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the showerheads or hoses that might affect flow. Verify that hot and cold water supplies are adequately balanced.

Low water pressure or flow rate.

Clean the QuickClean nozzles on both the overhead shower and handset. Check for any kinks or blockages in the shower hose. Ensure that the main water supply to the shower is fully open and not restricted. Confirm your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements for the system.

Showerhead drips after use.

This is normal to some extent. The FastDrain system on the overhead shower helps minimize this. Ensure the shower is turned off completely. If dripping is excessive, check for internal valve issues or debris.

Handset height adjustment is stiff.

Gently operate the PushSlider mechanism. If it remains stiff, check for any debris that might be obstructing the slider's path. Ensure the handset is properly seated on the holder.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is an exposed mixer shower, meaning the valve and pipework are visible. It requires existing hot and cold water supplies to be accessible at the wall. The included S-connections adapt to standard pipe spacing.

Compatibility: Designed for standard UK/European plumbing systems. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance (check manufacturer specifications for minimum pressure requirements).

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the showerheads and controls with a soft, damp cloth. For limescale buildup on QuickClean nozzles, gently rub the silicone nubs to dislodge deposits. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the finish.
  2. Maintenance: Periodically check the S-connections for any signs of leaks. The 5-year manufacturer's guarantee covers manufacturing defects. Spare parts are available for 15 years after the product is discontinued, ensuring long-term usability.
