Sustainability

Hotbath products are produced and transported in a sustainable manner and come with a variety of innovative technologies Hotbath has developed several unique systems, ensuring that the products are more sustainable, affordable, and energy-efficient in daily use For example, some technologies have been specifically designed for energy and water conservation These include the Flower Power System and the Shower Power System Thanks to the Flower Power system, almost all Hotbath taps are economical with hot water When in the neutral position, the taps provide cold water, unlike other single-lever taps that provide mixed water These are the simplest and most effective energy savings, naturally provided without compromising comfort and enjoyment In addition, all products have a long lifespan thanks to the high-quality materials used

Technology

Almost all Hotbath taps come with high-quality, patented Flühs inner workings from Flühs Drehtechnik (Turning Technology) in Germany This is the world’s largest and most innovative company in the field of inner workings and turning in the tap industry Thanks to the excellent quality of the inner workings of the Hotbath taps, the levers open and close smoothly, the water flow can be easily controlled, and the taps last for a lifetime Flühs inner workings comes with a guarantee of as much as 10 years

Our brands

Sustainability, high quality, innovative techniques and an attractive Italian design. Features of Hotbath that are reflected in all products. Each feature has its own label, making it immediately visible per product in the catalogue.

Stainless Steel 316

The Hotbath Archie series is made using Stainless Steel 316 This is the very best quality stainless steel and therefore has a lifespan of, well, forever The material is perfectly designed to withstand moisture, dirt and high temperatures and is thus practically indestructible Stainless steel is one of the most hygienic materials and is easy to keep clean You’ll get years of service from the Archie series because of its durability, and it’s also a stylish and attractive addition to your home

No waste with the Flower Power System

Products within the Flower Power System can provide significant savings on your energy bill This system ensures that all single-lever taps provide cold water from the ‘neutral lever position’ In many cases, the tap is only turned to cold when the water starts to get lukewarm In the meantime, the water pipe is warming up, consuming unnecessary energy and wasting warm water

The Flower Power system ensures that the lever provides cold water right away and warm water only after it’s turned on The simplest and most effective energy saving conceivable

Hot water is not wasted

Heat from the pipes is not wasted

Money is not wasted

Maximum showering comfort, minimum use of water

The Shower Power System (SPS) ensures equal water distribution within the overhead shower, enabling a pleasant showering experience with a minimum amount of water Thanks to a patented cartridge membrane system located in the overhead shower, you can save on your water bill while still enjoying wonderful showers

Considerable water savings with the Eco-air system

The Eco-air system ensures significant savings in water usage by naturally adding some air to the water without compromising on comfort There is a narrowing in the ball joint, which increases the speed of the water flow This reduces pressure so that air is sucked in and mixed with the water This is also known as the venturi effect Every overhead shower features the Eco-air system

The revolutionary 3+3 systeem

Thanks to the revolutionary 3+3 system, the tap can be set up and installed in three different ways Choose left, right or top controls In this way, the design works out beautifully for everyone

Smooth Control

Turning the tap on and off is an unconscious action The new Gal series makes this action even smoother and more supple Thanks to the innovative technology named Smooth Control, the tap comes on, mixes and goes off so smoothly, making this unconscious action feel surprisingly different

Vinyl Touch

The finish on the lever of our Archie series produces the same light reflection as a vinyl record and gives it that little bit more pizzazz In the right light, the tap shines like a jewel Combined with the other high-quality brushed finish, this is truly eye-catching in any room

For use with High Flow thermostats

Combine a shower set with the High Flow thermostats from the Mate series for a wonderful shower experience The stop valves from this series all work together but also separately from each other This makes it possible to personalise each shower These taps are not just beautiful on the outside but equally wonderful on the inside Thanks to the technology in the installation box, the concealed thermostats can be mounted both horizontally and vertically

As a result, the taps fit in seamlessly with the overall bathroom design In addition, a High Flow thermostat is always immediately at the correct temperature so you can start using it directly

Certain overhead showers can only be combined with a High Flow thermostat These overhead showers are indicated in the catalogue with a High Flow icon

The high-quality, patented inner workings of Flühs

Almost all Hotbath taps are fitted with high-quality, patented Flühs inner workings Taps with the Flühs inner workings are indicated by the Flühs icon

Flühs safeguards and continues the quality of the inner workings and diverters of almost every Hotbath product The other Flühs components, such as 2 and 3-way diverters and the kitchen tap cartridges, are also fully integrated into all new products, where technically possible

Flühs Drehtechnik was established in 1926 in Lüdenscheid, Germany With 400 employees, it is now the world’s largest and most innovative market leader in all types of inner workings and turning work for the global tap industry

With 120 ‘state-of-the-art’ turning machines, every year 140,000 tons of brass are processed into millions of inner workings and diverters and exported to 5 continents The specialised, patented production of Flühs inner workings, cartridges and diverters consists of a full brass cartridge with ceramic discs (white and brown) manufactured from aluminium oxide The combination ensures excellent action for shutting down, regulating and adjusting the flow of water The big difference in the Flühs products compared with similar products from the ‘normal market’ is mainly the thickness of the ceramic disks and the very special patented system, which does not use grease between the discs In addition, Flühs uses brass cartridges which, unlike plastic cartridges, cannot be easily crushed All of these together ensure many years of smoothly flowing water

Aside from the unique ceramic discs, the ‘Motion’ diverters have another patented special advantage Namely, these diverters are specially designed for use with thermostatic taps In order to guarantee years of smooth flowing operation, the water enters at the side of the diverter The water then exits the tap through the outlet on the underside The unique benefit of this is that there is no constant pressure on the discs, which results in several years of smooth operation

Hotbath offers a 10 YEAR GUARANTEE on Flühs ceramic inner workings and diverters.
