The Croma 100 Showerpipe offers style, affordability and reliable temperature control thanks to the new Ecostat S thermostatic mixer. The system consists of a showerhead with a diameter of 160 millimetres, which is fed via a water-conducting shower bar to generously wet the body with a gentle spray. The upward slant of the shower arm and the lean styling create a dynamic impression. The shower pipe is particularly easy to retrofit and is therefore the ideal product for renovation work. No recessing work is necessary. Croma 100 Showerpipe is the perfect choice for households with varying shower demands. An overhead shower is often preferred by men as a sporty, no-fuss option that is always in the same fixed position every morning, whereas women often prefer a hand shower. The latter option is perfect if you don’t want to wash your hair and also practical for cleaning the bath or shower as well as other jobs like washing the children or even the pets.
Central to the Showerpipe’s impressive technology is the new Ecostat from Hansgrohe. The key features of the new temperature controllers are concealed on the inside. An improved thermal element, which can be easily changed when required, reacts in seconds to fluctuations in temperature and pressure. Thanks to its programmable maximum temperature, an integrated hot water limiting device protects against scalding. Further protection comes from the Safety Stop function at approximately 38°C. This prevents excessively high temperatures from being selected by mistake. In addition, the Ecostop function means that the thermostats achieve up to 50 per cent savings on water volume – and hence on energy and money as well.
Through the design of the Ecostat S thermostat, Hansgrohe is proving that a modern thermostat does not need to be conspicuous as a bulky, purely functionally designed fitting. Instead the new cartridge with a diameter of just 38 millimetres has enabled a particularly slim and elegant design. The cylindrical form of the controls and the clear geometric contours testify to the minimalist design philosophy. Ecostat S forms part of the World of Styles portfolio: with complementary ‘S’ style basin, bath and bidet mixers available to match with equally geometric, straightlined designs to achieve the perfectly co-ordinated bathroom.
