Modern hansgrohe water-saving technology in bathroom and kitchen mixers helps to reduce consumption and save money at the same time. The video shows how easy it is to do this with a virtual look inside a hansgrohe mixer and at the EcoCartridge technology. The animation illustrates how water can be saved at the basin mixer and the kitchen mixer, using everyday hand movements when operating the water-saving hansgrohe mixer. Not to forget: Of course, this works without any loss of comfort. The innovative EcoCartridge is responsible for the water-saving and eco-effect. It's not for nothing that the hansgrohe motto is: Save water. Reduce bills. With the EcoCartridge, a slight resistance can be felt when the lever is opened halfway. If only a little water is needed, this is often enough. Gentle pressure beyond this position allows the full water jet to flow. Conscious use of water saves valuable resources and money More and more people are focusing on a sustainable lifestyle with less resource consumption and a smaller CO2 footprint. Whether they are end users and consumers who are concerned about protecting vital resources and are looking for water-saving mixers, or builders and investors who want to contribute to the sustainability of their project with water-saving and energy-efficient products. hansgrohe EcoCartridge technology saves water and money. The video shows what is not normally visible, but is crucial for the water-saving hansgrohe mixers in their everyday use in the kitchen and bathroom: Inside is the specially developed EcoCartridge, which cleverly regulates the water flow so that no water is wasted and therefore less energy (for providing hot water) is used. This protects the environment and the budget in equal measure; water-saving mixers are careful with natural resources and only use the treated drinking water to the extent that it is actually needed. hansgrohe makes saving water very easy The water-saving effect of the hansgrohe EcoCartridge starts with the operation of the single-lever mixer: When water is turned on with the usual upward lever movement, the technology inside limits the water jet to EcoFlow 50%, i.e. half the maximum water flow. Only when more water volume is required does the full volume flow after a further, targeted upward movement of the operating lever. The water-saving tap technology has proven its worth for many requirements, e.g. for normal hand washing or filling a glass of water. The EcoCartridge works very intuitively, making it possible to differentiate between uses and save water when operating the tap on a daily basis. The video shows how the EcoFlow differs from the full jet when operating the water-saving tap by looking at the water outlet.

For more information about our water and energy-saving mixers and showers, visit the hansgrohe brand website. → hansgrohe CoolStart technology briefly explained hansgrohe CoolStart faucets are climate-friendly, and that has something to do with their control lever. Like any other single-lever basin mixer, the handle is in the center position when you're not using it. BUT: as soon as you want to wash your hands or face and lift the handle vertically to do so, only cold water comes. And that's the difference to the standard faucet: Normal faucets consume energy already in the basic position, because the water heater, circulation pump or other water heaters start immediately. But we don't always need hot water, right? Then we shouldn't fill our piping system with it unnecessarily either. When you want hot water, you actively move the mixer lever on your hansgrohe CoolStart faucet to the left, and it flows. A simply ingenious trick for saving energy in the bathroom. → With hansgrohe CoolStart mixers, hot water only flows when you want it to. There are countless occasions in everyday life when cold water is perfectly adequate for us. When drinking water, washing hands, watering flowers or cleaning, for example. We all do it x times a day, a month, a year. Can you imagine how it adds up if we unintentionally turn on our water heater every time we do this? Do we really want to afford to waste that much energy and money? → Save now! Calculation example with a hansgrohe CoolStart fitting. If the products and appliances in the household that we use multiple times every day - like our basin mixers - consume less electricity, gas & co. then a nice chunk of change adds up. For example, a household of four that uses a hansgrohe CoolStart faucet for 20 minutes a day for a year can consume 508 kilowatt hours less energy than with a conventional faucet. In short: With 500 kWh, you can toast 67,564 slices of toast, watch TV 24/7 for over a year, or blow-dry your hair for 500 hours. The bottom line: starting cool saves valuable energy in the bathroom and cash. → Save energy costs in the bathroom every day and protect the climate.

With CoolStart taps, only cold water will flow when the handle is in the middle position. This also saves energy as hot water will only flow when the lever is turned to the left. The calculations for the use of a basin tap are based on average consumption (5 litres/minute at 3 bar). This value must be adapted to the individual to get the most accurate result possible. Energy needed to heat 1 litre of water by 1°C: 1 kcal or 0.00116 kWh. Energy needed to heat 1 litre of water from 10°C to 35°C (the temperature of hot water from a basin tap): 0.026 kWh/litre of water [Calculated using an energy formula based on the general calculation principles according to the International System of Units (SI). Conversion of kWh to oil: 10 kWh = 1 litre of oil.] The energy costs suggested here are the average for Germany and must be adapted to the individual to get the most accurate result possible. Energy costs vary greatly and need to be individually adjusted according to region and consumption in order to get the most accurate result possible. Assumed 12.2 ct/kWh (https://www.bdew.de/media/documents/220124_BDEW-Gaspreisanalyse_Januar_2022_24.01.2022_final_YTK8Nlb.pdf).
