FAQs
What is EcoSmart technology?
EcoSmart technology is a Hansgrohe feature that limits water consumption to 8 liters per minute, significantly reducing water and energy usage without compromising the showering experience.
How do I clean the showerheads to prevent limescale?
The showerheads feature QuickClean+ technology. After showering, simply wipe the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to remove any limescale residue. For tougher build-up, a mild descaler can be used, followed by a rinse.
Can I adjust the temperature limit on the mixer?
Yes, the single-lever mixer features an adjustable temperature limitation for safety. Consult the installation manual for instructions on how to set or adjust this feature.
What is the spray pattern of the hand shower?
The hand shower offers two spray patterns: Rain and ImpactRain. You can switch between these settings using the Select button on the hand shower itself.
Is this shower system suitable for low water pressure?
The Activera S 240 is designed to work with standard domestic water pressure. The FlexPower nozzles help to adapt to varying pressures, but performance is optimized at recommended levels. Very low pressure might affect the intensity of the sprays.
What is included in the package?
The package includes the 240mm overhead shower (Activera S 240 1jet), hand shower, single-lever manual mixer, shower bar with slider, shower hose, and all necessary mounting fittings.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Hansgrohe Activera S 240 Bar Mixer Shower comes with a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow from showerheads
Check for blockages in the showerhead nozzles (use QuickClean+ function). Ensure the main water supply is fully open. Verify that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements. Check if the EcoSmart flow rate is set correctly and is suitable for your needs.
Temperature control is inaccurate or unstable
Ensure the hot and cold water connections are correctly installed. Check for any kinks or blockages in the supply hoses. If the issue persists, the temperature limitation setting may need adjustment by a qualified professional.
Water dripping from showerhead when off
This can sometimes occur due to residual water in the system. If it is a continuous drip, ensure the mixer is fully in the off position. A persistent drip may indicate a faulty internal cartridge, which may require professional service.
Slider for hand shower holder is stiff
Ensure no debris is obstructing the slider mechanism. Gently try to move the slider; avoid excessive force. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may help, applied carefully to the track.
