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
