[SOLVED] Hansgrohe Shower Head Disassembly

John Keiser · 2017-08-09T21:08:07+00:00

I inherited an expensive handheld Hansgrohe Raindance shower head with my condo. It functions fine but excessive water flows around the rim of the head rather than through the jets. [This is not a connector issue.] Soaking in CLR did not help. I would like to disassemble and renew any O rings or whatever but there is no obvious non-destructive means. Hansgrohe is no help [and the warranty so limited as to be useless]. Has anyone ever done this? Hints? Thank you.

Removed the Torx screw and discovered the inside reinforced ribbed case has a crack in it which allowed the outer O-Ring gasket to pooch out. I removed the four t-8 screws but was not able to get the white plastic portion out of the chrome plastic case. I did manage to stuff the gasket back into its channel, but when turning on the water it swirls a lot around the edge of the case and the shower nozzles. Off to Home Depot to but something less expensive that may last longer or at lease have replaceable parts.

Have you found if HG has the part for the O-ring?

remove the cap in the center, remove torx20 screw and you are in, maybe try a bit of silicone grease around the silicone gasket....I have the same issue.
