Operation
The Hansgrohe 15310180 RainSelect Basic Set serves as the core component for a RainSelect thermostatic mixer. Once the trim set (sold separately) is installed, the operation will involve:
- Temperature Control: The thermostatic mixer (not included in this basic set) will allow precise control over water temperature.
- Outlet Selection: The RainSelect system enables easy switching between the two connected water outlets (e.g., overhead shower, hand shower, bath filler) via intuitive buttons or selectors on the trim set.
- Flow Control: Adjust water flow as desired through the corresponding controls on the trim set.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Hansgrohe product:
- Cleaning: Clean the visible parts of the installed system regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, or phosphoric acid.
- Descaling: If hard water is an issue, use a descaling agent specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any leaks or unusual operation. Address any issues promptly.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter issues, consider the following common solutions:
- Reduced Water Flow: Check for blockages in the water supply lines or aerators (if applicable to the trim set). Ensure stopcocks are fully open.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Verify that hot and cold water supplies are stable. If using a thermostatic mixer, ensure it is correctly calibrated.
- Leaks: Turn off the main water supply immediately. Check all connections for proper sealing. If a sealing gaiter is damaged, replace it.
- No Water from an Outlet: Ensure the outlet selection mechanism on the trim set is functioning correctly and not stuck.
For persistent problems, contact a qualified plumber or Hansgrohe customer support.
