Possible Causes

Clogged inlet/outlet screens, Fouled resin bed with iron or sediment, Partially closed bypass or isolation valves, Undersized plumbing connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off water and relieve pressure before removing screens or opening the valve head.

  • Check valves: Ensure bypass and isolation valves are fully open and correctly positioned.
  • Clean screens: Remove and rinse inlet and outlet screens on the Hansgrohe valve head to clear sediment.
  • Backwash test: Initiate a manual regeneration and observe the backwash flow. Weak backwash may indicate severe resin fouling or plumbing restriction.
  • Resin cleaning: If iron fouling is suspected, use a resin cleaner compatible with Hansgrohe systems according to product instructions.
  • Resin replacement: If flow remains poor and resin is heavily fouled or compacted, replace the resin bed.
