Innovative product for a smarter future
GROHE Sense is a smart water sensor. Easily placed on the floor it detects flooding and tracks room temperature and humidity. Multiple devices across different rooms in the house can be used to notify the home owner of any issues instantly so the home-owner has the time to react.
GROHE Sense Guard is a smart water controller, which detects frost risk, micro leakages and pipe breaks. Being installed in the central water pipe of the house by a professional installer, one can turn off the water supply with the device automatically in case of a burst pipe. Even leaving a tap open will not remain unnoticed anymore!

Kitchen cabinets with a width of 30 cm are sufficient for installing the cooler. The integrated filter for optimum water quality and the carbonator adding the fine bubbles can easily be exchanged from the front. Ordering fresh filters and refill cartridges takes just a few clicks in the GROHE Blue Online Shop – everything needed is supplied straight to the customer’s door.
Smart and intuitive
GROHE SmartControl is packed with German technology and manufactured to the very highest standards of German workmanship, as encapsulated in the label “Made in Germany”. At its heart is the combined push-and-turn technology which gives users finger-tip control of the head and hand shower’s different spray patterns, while allowing control of the water flow rate by rotating the buttons. For a truly personalised shower experience that pampers the whole body, the generously dimensioned GROHE Rainshower 360 Duo head shower combines the gentle GROHE PureRain or GROHE Rain O2 spray with the energizing TrioMassage setting.
Cosmopolitan design, now even smaller: GROHE flush plates
A particularly aesthetic solution now comes in the form of the new GROHE flush plates, with their small size and flat design. Available in all shapes, from square to round and lozenge, they ensure a coordinated style by echoing the design language of the manufacturer’s faucets and showers. GROHE developers have successfully reduced the size of the flush plates to 130mm by 172mm without compromising cistern access or complicating maintenance. This combination of stylish design and excellent functionality is a compelling proposition for interior designers, residents and installers alike.
