An overview of our resource-conserving technologies
Are you looking for bathroom and kitchen products that support your sustainable lifestyle? We hope so, as here at Hansgrohe we’ve been designing our taps and showers to save water and energy for decades. Find out more about technologies that not only relieve the burden on our planet but are also kind on your wallet.
Sustainable hansgrohe technologies with great savings potential
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).

These products save water, energy and money:
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 £54.02 £/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 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.

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.

EcoSelection cartridge in the kitchen tap
This innovative hansgrohe click cartridge reduces the water consumption at your kitchen sink by 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.
