Grohe Smart thermostat shower valve temperature adjustment

[@orokhan]

Man I thought my plumbers installed the thing incorrectly. For 5 years I thought I couldn't run cold water with this damned thing at all until I finally came across this clip. A great big thank you sir from me and my whole family!

[@Dougie0049]

I am glad this video was helpful 👍

[@dorsay703]

Thank you for the information. I had to turn towards right to finally get cool water

[@MusicianGreg]

Thanks for this. You solved my problem!

[@annagp8878]

Thank you for this video. I had to high temperature all year (no possibility to take cold shower during summer, always quite hot water). Five minutes and now my shower is perfect. Thank you.

Thank you sir for the video.

It worked. Now I have cold water

Awesome, easy fix to an always too hot shower.

[@Dougie0049]

Glad this video helped you

[@ronnie3048]

Thanks for making the video. May I ask how did you get the cap off as the first step? The gaps are so small. Thanks

[@Dougie0049]

I used a very small flat head screwdriver the ones that are to repair glasses but you could also probably use a tip of a very pointy knife

[@mavm267]

Really appreciate this. How do you remove the trim plate without causing any damage? I would like to know for future reference. Thank you.

[@Dougie0049]

I used a small flat head screwdriver to insert in the seam of the trim to pry it up. Another thing that might work well will be a very pointy knife and just pride on its side of the seam. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.

@@Dougie0049 Thanks for the video. I'm really struggling with this cover plate as well. Seems to me it's impossible to remove without damage...

[@Dougie0049]

@@bertusavius1 Find some thing really thin that won’t break to pry it off.

Just watched this, my problem is that the button to move beyond 38c is not working at 12 o'clock, it's more that 7 o'clock. I can't move the dial housing around as it seems to be glued. Can anyone help fix this?

[@alextan001]

Does this have volume control? can you control the amount of water from a trickle up to full flow? Or is the volume on/off only?

[@Dougie0049]

Yes it does, all three valve could be adjusted, if you want a little bit of water or a lot of water, you can even turn all three on at the same time

[@seadawg4740]

The volume control is on the outsde of the individual on/off buttons.

[@jonjonguy]

Sometimes I just need a trickle of water but the lowest setting (turned all the way counter clockwise) is too much still. Can I adjust the water volume knobs in the same manner?

[@Dougie0049]

I am not sure but that is something that I need to look into my self and I will make a video about it thank you for watching

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

@@Dougie0049 Did you get to figure this out?

[@Hendrik-YT]

I installed the same smartcontrol box from Grohe. I am facing an issue when closing the valves. When switching the water off with the push buttons, I hear a hammering sound. The sound is similar as what I hear in this video but I don’t hear it on other test video’s. This does not sound right to me. Do other users experience similar behaviors? Thanks for sharing your experience. Appreciate!

[@Dougie0049]

Thank you for sharing your concerns I also do wonder about that sound if anybody out there knows please let us know.

[@tompecoraro7382]

You need to measure your water pressure. If its too high over 80 psi you should install a pressure reducer valve or additionally could install some hammer arrestors on your water lines close to shower as possible

[@seadawg4740]

My problem is the cap does not stay on when turning the knob-without me placing my finger on it. Any advice?

[@Dougie0049]

@@seadawg4740 make sure that the cap has no broken clips in the back, if it does, you may need to replace it. Another thing you may want to try is turn the cap some to ensure it clicks on

[@multimacher]

Thanks a lot

[@SaurabhAgrawal-yp3be]

My diverted is not slowing the water pressure, how can I correct that

[@safwanpatel2907]

Hi Doug.. I can't seem to get the grey plastic tube that goes in the temperature control to stay in? It keeps popping out...any ideas? The one that goes under the silver cap

[@Dougie0049]

It’s been a while since I’ve taken it apart but just make sure that it’s not upside down, they might be a spring on the outside portion see if that’s in the way hope that helps thank you for watching

[@safwanpatel2907]

@@Dougie0049 there is a spring but that's for the button thermostat to put towards hot water.

[@safwanpatel2907]

@@Dougie0049 Thanks for the reply...everything was smooth in fitting and now this small thing is annoying

[@Dougie0049]

Are you sure none of the four legs of the plastic thing, either one of them broke and left a piece inside

[@safwanpatel2907]

@@Dougie0049 Grohe sent an extension...seems sorted. 🙂

[@kotinnn]

Thank You

[@cassidyrandall1834]

Can anyone else not get the cap back on? Mine refuses to stay on ever since I popped it off.

[@josephjohnson8502]

Thank you!!

[@Irvcan]

did you have to turn off the water in your home before you adjusted that valve?

[@Dougie0049]

No you do not need to turn off the water

[@garyjohnparryjones5530]
