Hansgrohe Debuts Economical Water-Saving Showerhead and Handshower
Source: BuildingOnline's eUpdate
Wed, 28 Feb 2007

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Hansgrohe has introduced the Croma 1-Jet EcoAIR handshower and showerhead, which it says provides the "full, drenching coverage of a conventional high-end handshower or showerhead, but at a water-saving flow rate of only 1.6 gallons per minute - nearly a full gallon less than the current standard maximum."

Best of all, these environmentally friendly showers feature Hansgrohe's award-winning and innovative AIR technology, yet are available at a price that meets any budget.

The Croma EcoAIR incorporates the same AIR injection technology found in Hansgrohe's popular Raindance AIR line of handshowers and showerheads. This unique system, available only from Hansgrohe, draws the surrounding air into the center of the showerhead or handshower, infusing the water with air in a three-to-one, air-to-water ratio.

The result is an air-enriched shower with the sound and feel of an enchanting summer rain. Expanding the water with air softens the droplets that stream through Croma's 50 spray channels. These voluminous drops of air-infused water actually coat the bather's skin in warmth, instead of bouncing off, as with the stinging needle-like spray of other low-flow showers. This coating stream reduces the amount of water splashing around and outside the shower, so there is less mess, and the bather gets to enjoy more water on her skin.

The Croma EcoAIR line also features the Rubit cleaning system, another hallmark of Hansgrohe quality and innovation. As with most Hansgrohe showerheads and handshowers, the Croma spray channels are made of durable silicone, a nonporous and elastic material that actually repels the buildup of limescale and other substances in the water stream. If these materials do appear on the spray channels, they can be simply wiped away with a fingertip or a washcloth. As a result, limescale deposits are easily eliminated.

The Croma EcoAIR line is available in two highly durable finishes: chrome and brushed nickel. Ten inches in length with a three-inch-diameter head, the handshower lists for $34 in chrome and $44 in brushed nickel. The showerhead, whose head is 3-3/4 inches wide, lists for $26 and $36, respectively.
