FAQs

What is the main benefit of the EcoSmart technology?

EcoSmart technology allows the shower system to consume up to 40% less water compared to standard models, leading to cost savings on water and energy bills.

Can I use the overhead shower and hand shower at the same time?

No, this shower system is designed so that outlets may not be used simultaneously. You must select either the overhead shower or the hand shower using the diverter.

What is the safety feature on the thermostatic mixer?

The thermostatic mixer includes a safety stop at 40°C, which prevents the water from becoming excessively hot and protects against scalding.

What are the two spray types available on the hand shower?

The Vernis Vario hand shower offers two spray types: 'Rain' for a gentle showering experience and 'IntenseRain' for a more invigorating flow.

How is the installation process different for an exposed system?

An exposed installation means all working parts are mounted on the outside of the wall, making it generally easier and quicker to install compared to concealed systems, and simplifying future maintenance.

What is the manufacturer's warranty period for this product?

Hansgrohe offers a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing defects. However, certain working parts are subject to wear and tear and may have a shorter warranty period (e.g., 6 months).

What is the size of the overhead shower head?

The overhead shower head measures 230 x 170 mm, providing a generous spray pattern for a luxurious shower experience.

Troubleshooting

No water flow or very low flow

Check that the water supply is turned on and that the minimum pressure requirement of 1.0 Bar is met. Ensure no kinks in the shower hose and that the diverter is correctly set to the desired outlet.

Water temperature is not stable

Ensure the thermostatic mixer is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, check your home's hot water supply temperature and pressure. For persistent issues, consult a professional plumber.

Diverter not switching between shower heads

The diverter mechanism may require cleaning or adjustment. If the issue persists, contact Hansgrohe customer support or a qualified installer.

Spots or discoloration on the chrome finish

This is likely due to water deposits or harsh cleaning. Clean gently with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid leaving water to dry on the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This shower system features an exposed installation design, meaning all functional components are mounted on the surface of the wall, simplifying the installation process. Key connection dimensions include a 1/2" connection thread and a center distance of 150mm. The shower bar diameter is 19mm. Ensure your plumbing is compatible with these specifications.

Compatibility:

Water Pressure: Requires a minimum of 1.0 Bar and is suitable for high-pressure systems up to 10 Bar.
Outlets: The system controls multiple outlets (overhead shower and hand shower) via a volume control/diverter. Note that these outlets cannot be operated simultaneously.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the polished surface.
Maintenance: Periodically check for any visible wear on seals or washers, particularly those expected to be replaced during the item's life. While the main unit has a 5-year guarantee, individual working parts are subject to wear and may have a shorter warranty period (e.g., 6 months).
Backflow Protection: The system is intrinsically safe against backflow, ensuring water safety.
