Hansgrohe Croma C and E 100 Showers Offer High
Performance, Diverse Stylings, Lower Flow Rates

ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA (FEBRUARY 26, 2008) — Hansgrohe recently broadened its already

expansive World of Styles bathroom faucet and shower offering with the addition

of two new showerheads and two new handshowers, all carrying the “Croma

100” name.

In addition, Hansgrohe is

offering a green version of

each of the four models.

Providing the full, drenching

coverage of a conventional

high-end handshower or

showerhead, the green

options do so at a water-

saving flow rate of only 1.8

gallons per minute – nearly

30% less than the current

standard maximum of 2.5

gpm. These environmentally friendly showers feature Hansgrohe’s innovative

AIR technology at a price that meets any budget.

The models:

> The Croma C 100 3-Jet Handshower and the Croma C 100 3-Jet

Showerhead (both Green and Standard flow-rate models) offer a more

traditional styling with their decorative, bell-shaped heads.

> Their counterparts, the Croma E 100 3-Jet Handshower and the Croma C

100 3-Jet Showerhead (again, both Green and Standard flow-rate

models), have a more streamlined, transitional look for the buyer or

designer seeking an up-to-date, but not quite contemporary décor.

All eight products feature a four-inch spray face with 75 no-clog spray channels

and three spray modes: full spray, a pulsating massage and an intense turbo jet

setting for invigorating tired muscles and aching joints at the end of a long day.

Unique to the Croma C and Croma E offerings, the turbo effect is generated, in

part, by a large center spray that propels the water through the head to the user.

“That turbo spray is

one of the most

powerful sprays we

currently offer,

regardless of styling

or price point,” says

Russ Wheeler,

president of Hansgrohe, Inc. “Our designers created that intensity, not by

shrinking the spray channels, but by delivering more volume through the center

of the showerhead” – while still maintaining a flow rate of either 1.8 or 2.5 gpm.

AIR-injection technology: The green versions of the Croma C and Croma E

products incorporate the same AIR injection technology found in Hansgrohe’s

popular Raindance AIR line of handshowers and showerheads. Available only

from Hansgrohe, this proprietary system draws the surrounding air into 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 increases the size of the droplets that
