Recycling Showers

It's about to get easier to make more sustainable choices for our bathrooms with the innovative water recycling shower solution.

What is a Recycling Shower?

A recycling shower, also known as a water recycling or closed—loop shower system, is designed to reduce water consumption by reusing and filtering water during your shower. Instead of allowing used water to go down the drain, a recycling shower system treats, filters, and purifies the water for repeated use, effectively creating a "closed—loop" water cycle.

Key Components of a Recycling Shower:

Filtration System:

Advanced filtration systems that remove impurities, soap residues, and contaminants from the water.

Treatment Mechanism:

The system typically includes a treatment process, which may involve UV light, ozone, or other methods to ensure water quality.

Storage Tank:

The treated water is stored in a tank and then reintroduced into the shower for subsequent use.

Smart Controls:

Many recycling showers come with smart controls that allow users to monitor water usage, adjust settings, and ensure optimal performance.

Pros:

Recycling showers can significantly reduce water consumption by reusing the same water during a single shower session
Less water usage means less energy required to heat water, contributing to overall energy savings

Cons:

Higher initial cost compared to traditional showers due to the advanced technology involved
Regular maintenance to ensure effective water treatment and filtration
May require additional space for installation, which could be a constraint in smaller bathrooms
Retrofitting an existing bathroom might be more challenging
