GROHE’s answer to the digital revolution of the modern shower

GROHE launches Rainshower SmartConnect 310 head shower, combining tech and wellness to create its answer to meaningful bathroom design… 

Digitalisation and wellness-inspired spaces are two mega-trends that are changing the way we perceive bathroom design. The two may seemingly juxtapose one another but with the Rainshower SmartConnect 310 head shower, GROHE has found a way to merge the two to create easily accessible, personalised showering that can be tailored to each individual user.

Thanks to its flexible and accessible positioning, the wireless control enables all users to conveniently select different spray patterns, choosing the spray that will best suit their mood. Users can choose from the ActiveRain spray which is a powerful jet perfect for rinsing away shampoo, loosening tense muscles or for a much-needed wake up call on an early morning; and PureRain which delivers larger, softer droplets for a more luxurious, relaxing shower experience. Each spray can be activated by pushing the relevant pictograph on the control, with a third icon allowing you to combine both sprays at once.

What makes the system unique is its compatibility to work alongside existing shower thermostats without the need for complete refurbishment of the shower space. Installation is quick and simple as the shower head can easily be mounted on existing shower extension arms. Thanks to its wirelessconnection which doesn’t require any behind-the-wall installation, the Rainshower SmartConnect 310 is a cost-effective and simple upgrade that will bring enhanced shower enjoyment using smart, forward-thinking design.

GROHE Rainshower SmartConnect 310 has already received a number of highly coveted design accolades since it was first showcased at the ISH show earlier this year. These include Winner of the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2019, the Innovative Architecture – Best of Best award at Iconic Awards 2019 and winner at the iF Awards 2019.
