How do you want to manage your enjoyment of water? With everything from shower thermostats with a dial to a control centre with Select push buttons and an integrated shelf, hansgrohe offers you multiple control options. A modern thermostatic mixer enables you to enjoy a constant temperature and the complete peace of mind that this brings. A hot water lock also protects you against scalding.
Our tip for harmonious design: use products in matching colours – such as Brushed Bronze, Matt Black or Matt White – throughout the shower area. The range of available finishes for showers, accessories and shower hoses can be found under FinishPlus.
But before you choose your favourite colours, please make an important decision about the type of installation: do you want an exposed thermostat or a concealed one?
Exposed thermostats protrude from the wall and are ideal for those looking to modernise their shower with little effort as the old connections can often be used when renovating. These kinds of convenient solutions increase your showering enjoyment in an instant. With their modern and understated design, hansgrohe exposed thermostats fit perfectly into any bathroom. Even thermostatic mixers like the ShowerTablet Select can be attached to existing water connections in a few simple steps. Thanks to its integrated shelf, this beautifully designed, multifunctional thermostat offers plenty of space for your toiletries. Our style tip: create harmonious combinations such as a shower thermostat in metallic gold combined with a gold-coloured rain shower.
Incidentally, all hansgrohe shower thermostats feature standardised connection dimensions so as to fit in any bathroom. They even make a great choice when giving rental properties a refresh as they are quick to install and uninstall.
Fans of minimalist design love the ability to hide everything that they don’t want on view within the shower wall. In this case, the technology. Our pre-fab sets comprise flat shower thermostats that are impressively compact, wonderfully easy to clean and remarkably quiet. There’s no risk of users knocking into anything or scalding themselves in these kinds of ‘neat’ showers – making them ideal for accessible bathrooms!
Important: the wall has to be opened when installing concealed thermostats, making them particularly suitable for new builds and renovations. The work must be performed by a qualified plumber as knowledge is required of how to install the iBox universal 2 base set and connect it with an appropriate pre-fab set.
Before choosing your thermostatic shower mixer, please answer the following questions: do you want your bathroom to feature a hand shower, an overhead shower or both? What’s more, do you want to control the spray types of your shower(s) using the thermostatic mixer? The number of consumers (= water sources) is a decisive factor when determining the type of your new shower thermostat.

A shower thermostat keeps the water temperature constant while you’re showering. This enables you to enjoy your shower to the full, without any fluctuations in temperature. A shower thermostat, or shower mixer with thermostat, features a chamber in which hot and cold water are mixed to achieve the desired temperature. The shower thermostat then regulates the water flow automatically to keep the temperature stable, even if water is being used in other areas of the home.
A shower thermostat enables you to set how warm the water should be for your shower – as well as to activate a temperature lock at 40°C, for example. This hot water lock reliably protects you against unpleasantly hot water or even scalding. The shower thermostat features a chamber in which hot and cold water are mixed before being released from the shower so that the water temperature when showering remains stable. A shower mixer does not have this kind of mixing chamber. Instead, you have to manually control the water temperature and volume while showering and constantly adapt them to your current needs.
One possible cause could be that the connections for the hot and cold water have been mixed up during the thermostatic mixer’s installation. If this has occurred, hansgrohe offers a solution for almost all products. You can find the spare parts number in your shower thermostat’s installation manual or look it up in our online spare parts catalogue.
There are several potential reasons why the thermostat in your shower could be difficult to operate. For example, deposits on the sealing surfaces could prevent the controls from working smoothly. Please replace the component in accordance with the installation manual provided. Further information can be obtained from the hansgrohe online spare parts catalogue.
hansgrohe (exposed insulation) thermostatic mixers can be quickly connected to your shower, and switching from an old one to a new one doesn’t require any great technical skill. Please follow the installation manual. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, please consult a plumber, who will install the product safely and professionally for you.
