Save water with no loss of indulgence
EcoSmart/EcoSmart+
This hansgrohe technology not only reduces the amount of water you need but also your energy bills – for sustainably enjoyable experiences in the shower and at the wash basin.
CoolStart: the ingenious technology for the wash basin
This hansgrohe technology can save energy at the wash basin as the tap always starts by running cold water when in the basic position, unlike a standard tap, which instantly uses mixed water.
Conserve resources at the push of a button: EcoStop/EcoStop+
This ingenious function on hansgrohe thermostatic mixers helps to reduce the shower water consumption to as little as 6 l/min. The water only turns up to full volume if you consciously press the button.
This premium-quality ceramic cartridge reduces the amount of water used at the kitchen sink by up to 50%. If you need full power, the flow can be effortlessly increased.
Sense AND save: hansgrohe showers and taps treat you to wonderful water experiences while also helping you save resources and money. How? The EcoSmart and EcoSmart+ technology invisibly integrated into the product designs limits the flow.
Wellness and sustainability are of equal importance. We therefore combine the water and energy-saving EcoSmart technology with outstanding feel-good features.
EcoSmart and EcoSmart+ in the shower
Shower heads and rain showers with EcoSmart use up to 40%* less water than conventional hansgrohe showers. Those with EcoSmart+ even use up to 60%* less. This means that many EcoSmart showers only use up to 8 l/min* and EcoSmart+ ones as little as 6 l/min* or less – all without you having to compromise on enjoyment when showering.
EcoSmart and EcoSmart+ at the wash basin
Wash basin taps with EcoSmart reduce the water consumption to up to 5 l/min*. Those with EcoSmart+ conjure up blissful enjoyment with as little as up to 4 l/min*, equating to up to 20% less water consumption than hansgrohe EcoSmart taps. And as an added bonus, you won’t experience any loss of indulgence.
EcoSmart in the toilet
EcoSmart toilets achieve outstanding flushing results of as little as 4.5 l* water per flush or even 3 l/flush when pressing the small button for a short flush. (Please note that a suitable flush tank is required for this saving).
CoolStart: save energy at the wash basin every day
Whether you live alone, as a family or in a house share, are you looking for a wash basin tap that reduces those expensive heating energy bills without anyone having to think about it? Then the hansgrohe CoolStart tap is the perfect product for you. This saves energy at the wash basin every single day and without any effort thanks to its ingenious operating principal.
The perfect way to save energy every day when washing your hands, shaving or brushing your teeth. A CoolStart tap will significantly reduce your hot water bills.
Start cool at the wash basin
CoolStart taps support a sustainable lifestyle as only cold water flows in the central tap position – unlike with standard taps where the basic position instantly uses mixed water and therefore energy. The benefit: starting cool reduces your CO2e emissions and protects your bank balance.
A cool calculation
By switching to a hansgrohe CoolStart tap instead of a conventional one, a four-person household that uses gas to heat its water can improve its environmental performance as follows:
508 kWh less consumption/year
23 kg less CO2e/year
Savings of up to 64.51 euros/year
This sample calculation is based on the following principles: 4-person household, shower time of 6 minutes per day/person, 365 days/year; the costs are calculated at 12 ct/kWh (gas) and 5.37 €/m³ (water).
These taps reduce your energy bills and CO2e emissions:
EcoStop: sustainable water management in the shower
Many hansgrohe shower thermostats feature a small button that helps you save water and energy.
With the EcoStop button, you and your loved ones can enjoy your shower routine to the full – and in line with your personal preferences. It not only saves you a lot of water but also the energy you’d have used to heat it.
EcoStop and EcoStop+ on shower thermostats
EcoStop reduces the water flow in the shower to as low as 10 l/min*. EcoStop+ goes even further and takes it down to a maximum of 6 l/min*. Want a more powerful shower sometimes? Your wish is our command. Simply push the button on the back of the thermostatic mixer’s handle to activate a stronger flow of water and set it to the desired power. * at 3 bar
Water at the push of a button – a sustainable hansgrohe topic
Many hansgrohe thermostatic mixers enable you to precisely control your showering enjoyment at the push of a button thanks to Select technology. The ingenious button makes it possible to quickly stop the flow of water, switch between shower heads or change the spray type. This is both user and environmentally friendly. After all, constant adjustments every time you shower waste valuable water.
These thermostatic mixers save water, energy and money:
EcoSelection: an ingenious cartridge in the kitchen tap
hansgrohe taps can save a great deal of valuable drinking water in the sink area too. The same simple but effective equation once again applies: less water = less energy = lower costs and fewer CO2e emissions. Wondering how to reduce your environmental footprint when cooking and washing up? Then you’ll be delighted to hear that you can do so effortlessly as our product developers have done all the work for you.
Sometimes, you need a lot of water quickly at the sink. Pass by the point of very slight resistance when lifting the kitchen tap’s operating lever and voilà: rapid-flowing water!
EcoSelection cartridge in the kitchen tap
This innovative hansgrohe click cartridge reduces the water consumption at your kitchen sinkby about half. Want a slightly higher flow rate sometimes, for example to quickly fill large pots or containers? No problem! Simply lift the tap handle past the point of slight resistance. The cartridge will ‘click’ and you can access the maximum water volume. To ensure the tap handle moves smoothly, the click cartridge is made from premium-quality ceramics.
