5.1 Smart Control Operation
- Start/Stop Water Flow: Press the desired button on the control unit to start or stop water flow from the overhead shower or hand shower.
- Adjust Water Volume: Turn the button clockwise to increase water volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The system remembers your last volume setting.
- Select Spray Patterns (Hand Shower): The hand shower offers two spray patterns: GROHE Rain O2 (a soft, air-infused spray) and Rain (a classic, full spray). Switch between them using the selector on the hand shower.
5.2 Temperature Control
- Set Temperature: Use the rotary handle on the side of the control unit to adjust the water temperature.
- GROHE TurboStat: This technology ensures the water temperature remains constant throughout your shower, preventing sudden fluctuations.
- Safe Stop: For safety, the temperature is limited to 38°C (100°F) by default. To exceed this, press and hold the Safe Stop override button while turning the handle.
- GROHE Cool Touch: The outer surface of the thermostat remains cool, preventing accidental burns.
5.3 Water Saving with GROHE EcoJoy
The system is equipped with GROHE EcoJoy technology, which reduces water consumption without compromising shower performance. This feature is integrated into the system for environmental conservation.

6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your GROHE shower system, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Clean the chrome surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Regularly wipe down the shower head nozzles to prevent limescale buildup. Many GROHE shower heads feature flexible silicone nozzles that can be easily cleaned by wiping them with your finger.
- For deeper cleaning, consult the GROHE website for recommended cleaning products and methods.
