FAQs

What is EcoSmart+ technology?

EcoSmart+ is Hansgrohe's technology designed to significantly reduce water consumption. For this shower, it limits the flow rate to 6 liters per minute, conserving water and energy without sacrificing shower comfort.

How do I activate the different spray settings on the hand shower?

The hand shower typically has a button or a rotating element that allows you to switch between the Rain and ImpactRain spray patterns.

What is the SafetyStop function on the thermostat?

The SafetyStop is a pre-set safety feature on the Ecostat Fine thermostat that limits the maximum hot water temperature to 40°C, preventing scalding. It can be overridden if a higher temperature is temporarily needed.

Can the shower bar be shortened if it's too long for my space?

Yes, the pipe of the shower bar can typically be shortened during installation to perfectly fit your bathroom dimensions.

Is this shower system suitable for low water pressure systems?

While the FlexPower system adapts to some pressure fluctuations, adequate minimum water pressure is recommended for optimal performance. It is best to check the specific minimum pressure requirements from Hansgrohe for this model.

What is included in the "What's Included" list?

The package includes the 240mm overhead shower, the hand shower with two spray settings, the shower bar with an adjustable slider, the Ecostat Fine thermostat, a shower hose, and all necessary mounting brackets and fittings for exposed installation.

How often should I clean the shower nozzles?

It is recommended to wipe down the QuickClean+ nozzles after each use or at least weekly to prevent limescale build-up and maintain optimal spray performance.

Troubleshooting

Water temperature not stable

Ensure the Ecostat Fine thermostat is correctly installed and that hot and cold water supplies are adequate. Check for any blockages in the filters or shower hoses. Resetting the thermostat might also help.

Low water flow from shower heads

Clean the QuickClean+ nozzles on both the overhead and hand shower. Check the shower hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the main water supply to the shower is fully open and that water pressure is within the recommended range.

Thermostat not reaching desired temperature

Verify that the hot water supply is sufficiently hot. Check if the maximum temperature limit on the thermostat has been inadvertently set too low. Ensure there are no blockages in the hot water line.

Hand shower spray patterns are weak or uneven

Clean the nozzles on the hand shower. Verify water pressure is sufficient. Ensure the shower hose is properly connected and not kinked.

Pros and Cons

  • Luxurious and spacious shower experience with the 240mm overhead shower.
  • Precise and safe temperature control with the Ecostat Fine thermostat.
  • Easy maintenance and cleaning with QuickClean+ features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shower system is designed for exposed installation, meaning the thermostat and pipework are visible on the wall. It includes all necessary mounting brackets and fittings for this type of setup. Ensure you have access to hot and cold water supply lines at the intended installation point.

Compatibility:

  • Water Pressure: While the FlexPower system adapts to some pressure variations, an adequate minimum water pressure is recommended for optimal performance of both spray modes and consistent temperature regulation. Consult the Hansgrohe specifications for minimum recommended pressure.
  • Plumbing Connections: Compatible with standard UK/European plumbing connections for shower valves.

Care:

  • Cleaning Nozzles: The QuickClean+ feature allows for easy removal of limescale. Gently rub the silicone nozzles on the shower heads to dislodge any mineral deposits. For deeper cleaning, the shower heads can often be removed according to installation instructions.
  • Thermostat Exterior: Clean the thermostat and shower bar with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the chrome finish.
  • Filter Check: Periodically check and clean any integrated filters in the shower connections to maintain optimal water flow.
