Water systems
The Axor Starck V from Hansgrohe India is an example of stylish utility. The easy-click-in design and safety-stop functions make it easy to remove the glass body from its base to clean it, even without having to close the valve. Its material—dirt-resistant crystal glass in high-quality—makes it dishwasher friendly.
