A brief visit to the basin does not always need hot water. Yet the natural position of a handle can call for it without the user thinking about it. CoolStart addresses this action: hansgrohe associates the central position with cold water and reserves hot-water demand for a deliberate movement.
01
Understand the control
On a CoolStart mixer, hansgrohe states that cold water flows when the handle is centred. Moving the control to the left requests hot water. Confirm this operation in the selected model’s data sheet.
Handle appearance alone cannot identify the technology. Visually similar products can operate differently. Ask for the complete reference and have the function checked before fixing the project’s equipment.
02
Observe short basin tasks
Quickly rinsing an object or wetting hands may not require hot water. Assess the value of the feature by observing repeated tasks in the home. The distance between water heater and basin also affects how hot water arrives.
Do not infer a universal numerical saving. Installations, settings and family habits differ between projects. The practical aim is to avoid unnecessary demand while keeping access to the desired temperature understandable.
03
Separate energy saving from temperature regulation
CoolStart concerns how the handle behaves at its starting position. The name alone does not mean the mixer is thermostatic or provides a particular anti-scald safeguard. Check each safety function separately.
Installation must follow the instructions and specified connections. In a family home or an establishment with different users, plan a simple explanation of the operation. An understood control avoids repeated handling and unnecessary waiting.
04
Choose the product with the complete washplace
Tecturis is part of the hansgrohe offering presented by EDIFIS. Compare spout height, reach, waste fitting and handle space alongside technologies. A relevant function cannot compensate for an uncomfortable position.
Bring the furniture plan and basin references to the consultation. Confirm the CoolStart variant offered for your configuration and keep the data sheet with project documents. At handover, try the handle positions and pass on care instructions.
Before you decide
- Check CoolStart on the exact reference.
- Observe which tasks need hot water.
- Check safety features separately.
- Explain the control at handover.
The essentials
Your questions, our guidance.
Does CoolStart deliver only cold water all the time?
No. Hot water remains available through a deliberate control movement, according to the model.
Does CoolStart mean the tap is thermostatic?
No. These are different functions to verify in the product documentation.
