EcoSmart: Save water and energy

Climate protection starts with showering and ecological hand washing. AXOR and hansgrohe taps and showers fitted with EcoSmart technology consume up to 60% less water than standard products. EcoSmart reduces water and energy costs and conserves valuable resources. No matter whether you're shopping for yourself or the hotels or sports facilities you own, that’s something we can all be happy about.

Using water-saving products to seal the deal 

  • Customers can save huge amounts of water because the flow is automatically limited in EcoSmart products. With EcoSmart+ technology, the savings increase further.
  • Lower warm water consumption = lower energy requirement, as less water needs to be heated. This means lower CO2 emissions and lower energy costs.
  • Outstanding service in sales pitches: Calculate the amount your customers will save thanks to EcoSmart with the hansgrohe savings calculator, which crunches the numbers on how quickly an investment in the bathroom will pay off.

Showers with EcoSmart technology – facts and functionality

By reducing the amount of shower water consumed on a daily basis by up to 60%, many EcoSmart overhead and hand showers consume just 8 litres of water per minute, with some managing to use as little as 6 litres. This is achieved through a clever flow limiter, special spray jets and the addition of air. The water pressure is not a concern here, as a ‘precision O-ring’ responds flexibly to the water pressure and adjusts the water volume.

EcoSmart basin taps – facts and functionality

Thanks to EcoSmart technology, the water consumption in all AXOR and hansgrohe basin taps is reduced to around 5 litres per minute, while EcoSmart+ products consume just 4 l/min at 3 bar. So you can save up to 60 percent – and sometimes more with certain products. How? The specialised flow limiter only allows a certain amount of water to flow out of the tap. The EcoSmart aerator is built into the tap’s spout and enriches the water with air. These two elements result in a full, bubbling water spray.

Private bathroom customers: the balance between sustainability and comfort

Your private customers will surely be able to appreciate a sustainable lifestyle with less resource consumption and a smaller carbon footprint. Show them how EcoSmart products help to strike a balance between ecological responsibility and comfort when enjoying water. A positive side effect for bathroom owners: Mindful consumption is also gentle on the household budget. When using an 8.5-litre hand shower, for example, a family of four can save 47,320 litres of water compared to a standard shower head consuming 15 l/min. Use the hansgrohe water savings calculator to work out the potential water and energy savings with your customers.

Project business: low operating costs – the product soon pays for itself

Water and energy savings are key criteria when it comes to furnishings, especially when working on major projects. In buildings with lots of bathrooms and toilets (hotels, public facilities, etc.), the savings potential is multiplied when EcoSmart products are installed. The great thing about it? There are no extra installation costs or effort. EcoSmart showers and taps are an option in numerous complete shower and wash basin ranges, so planners and architects can find everything they could possibly need.
