In the bathroom, the Hansgrohe ShowerTablet Select 300 as well as the latest addition of the ShowerTablet Select 700 are perfect examples of how the Select technology makes showering easy and intuitive. Conveniently positioned at the front on the ShowerTablet Select, the Select buttons come with clear and easy-to-understand icons that show how simple it is to push a button to turn the shower on or off.
More importantly, there is an option to install the Select buttons in such a way that they protrude slightly when they are in the shut-off position, making it easier to locate them by touch –with a light touch of the finger tips. This is a welcome feature for home owners, especially when planning for oases of well-being that accommodate all generations, including their children and the elderly. In hotels, this will create a perfect shower experience as guests can easily and intuitively determine how to use the shower controls even when viewing them for the first time. [/span5][/row]

Home owners may be surprised to know that the Hansgrohe Select technology is purely mechanical and requires no electronics.

More importantly, no additional electricity or devices are required in the base cabinet, saving the hassle for home owners.
Individualised water pleasure
Bearing in mind that each individual is different and may have varying taste, style and preferences especially when it comes to having a shower, consumers will be pleased to know that the Hansgrohe Select technology promises individualised water pleasure in the bathroom and creates a delightful water experience in the daily lives.
The Raindance handshowers, which created a revolution in the bathroom industry in 2003 with its large handshowers and slim handles, a novelty at the point when it was introduced. The innovative AirPower offered a pampering experience with the mixing of water and air into gentle droplets of rain pearls for consumers. In 2011, Hansgrohe fitted their best-selling Raindance handshowers with the Select technology, taking individualised shower pleasure even further.
Based on customers’ feedback and test showers, Hansgrohe has observed that there are different personality types when it comes to taking showers. “We interpreted the differing requirements of these types with the creation of different types of water sprays, ensuring greater variety under the shower”. Jan Heisterhagen shares, “We weren’t satisfied with merely giving our customers more choice; however, we also wanted to make it easier to make a selection.”

Taking the Raindance Select S120 handshowers as an example, there are people who want to be refreshed and save time and thus, the powerful
“Rain” spray vitalises them and effective rinses shampoo and soap, allowing them to have an efficient and enjoyable shower. For those seeking relaxation under a gently pearling rain shower, they can easily switch to the voluminous yet soft “RainAir” spray. Lastly, those who are feeling sore and tired will enjoy the “Whirl” spray which is perfect to ease their tense and tired muscles in the shower in a targeted manner. By offering these three individualised spray modes in a single ergonomic handshower the Raindance Select S120 provides a perfect pampering experience in the bathroom space for homeowners after a long day at work or school.
Keeping your fittings clean
With soapy hands while washing or cleaning, it is often a challenge to turn the bathroom or kitchen fittings on or off; after all, trying to turn the bulky cross handle of the conventional basin mixers can be frustrating with the interference of soap suds. What about situations where your hands are dirty and you would like to turn on the mixer to rinse your hands but fear leaving dirty and unsightly marks on the mixer?
