“Climate change is not a remote possibility, it is a reality. The reduction of climate-harming CO2 emissions is the responsibility of every member of our society. This is not just an ecological, but also an economic imperative. The course for the future is set today.”

H 2 O. The omnipresence of this substance is what makes life on our planet possible. 71 % of the Earth surface is covered with water. The total volume of water on Earth is 1.386 billion cubic kilometres. Of that amount, 96.5 % is salt water and 3.5 % is fresh water. However, only 0.5 % of this fresh water is available as drinking water. A precious treasure, to whose preservation and purity Hansgrohe has long been committed.

The demonstration model of the Raindance Air plate overhead shower clearly shows the mixing of water with air in the shower head. Water is our element. As a manufacturer of mixers and showers, we therefore use it sensibly. This life-giving elixir has a magic that fascinates and inspires us every day anew. Whether experienced as a warm summer rain or a dense November fog, as a refreshing thirst quencher or a comforting hot drink, as a hot, relaxing bath or an invigorating shower – without water, there would cease to be life on Earth.

Thinking Ahead Mixing and controlling water Enjoying water Hansgrohe is considered one of the trend-setters in the international bathroom industry. We have earned this reputation over the course of decades through ground-breaking innovations and developments. It is in our nature to question long-established concepts and to think outside the box, so as to further improve the quality of our products and, consequently, people’s quality of life. Our contribution to the protection and preservation of precious drinking water is part of this philosophy.

Draining water Recycling water It is our passion for water that continuously drives us to seek fresh and innovative solutions. For us, water is not just an element like any other, it is the elixir of life, as precious as it is mysterious. We therefore strive to manufacture perfect mixers and showers which make people aware of the value of water and remind them to respect this primal element. The main question for us is how to improve the use of water in all our activities – from mixing and controlling to recycling water.

Lots of fun High efficiency AirPower Technology. To use water more effectively, we like mixing it up with lots of air. Air is drawn in through the entire spray disc and mixed together with the inflowing water. The result: the drops become more voluminous, lighter and softer. Water consumption remains constant while the pleasure increases – high efficiency, plenty of Shower Fun.

Showering large Less water, energy and CO2 Shower rain without Hansgrohe EcoSmart technology Shower rain with Hansgrohe EcoSmart technology EcoSmart flow control EcoSmart technology. How do you transform a little water into a whole lot of water? Simply by using Hansgrohe’s EcoSmart technology. Sophisticated flow limitation, special spray jets and the mixing of water with air reduce water consumption down to either 6 or 9 l/min – while offering lots of shower comfort. It also saves energy, since less water needs to be heated. In this way, your daily contribution to climate protection begins...

Maximum comfort Half the ow rate EcoSmart technology Less is more. This may not appear obvious when it comes to water. But when you feel the soft, voluminous water jet from a Hansgrohe mixer, you will immediately understand what we mean. Hansgrohe mixers are not only equipped with a clever flow limiter, which reduces the flow of water regardless of the pressure, but also feature a special aerator, integrated into the spout, which infuses the water with air, creating a pleasant water jet – even at a flow rate as low as 5 l/min.

Hansgrohe has developed special products for the public and semipublic sectors: mixers which save water automatically. For instance, electronic mixers with integrated sensor technology which use water more sensibly all by themselves: water flows only if someone holds their hands underneath – and even then at only 5 l/min. Self-closing mixers, which turn off the water flow automatically after a set period of time, are...
