EcoSmart technology saves money

hansgrohe taps and showers equipped with EcoSmart use up to 60 percent less water than our products without this technology. The clever flow limitation allows our overhead and hand showers to use just 8 liters of water per minute, and those with EcoSmart+ as low as 6 liters. hansgrohe taps on washbasins and bath tubs use just 5 liters of water per minute (at 3 bar), and EcoSmart+ taps even use just 4 l/min. And all this without any decline in comfort.

    Great showering pleasure with low consumption

    In a study conducted by the market research company TRND*, consumers in Germany and France in 2022 did not notice any significant differences in the showering experience between EcoSmart showers and those without EcoSmart technology. Now you can feel it for yourself with the EcoCheck Test Kit. 

    EcoSmart pays off twice. Because less water consumption also means: lower energy costs for hot water. You can now easily determine the concrete savings volume with EcoSmart yourself using the Water Flow Measuring Bag plus hansgrohe Water Savings Calculator.
