Showering: one of our most wasteful daily activities
Imagine, 446.828.803 European citizens who all like to shower. That’s an enormous waste of water and energy! Below here the European shower consumption per day is shown in numbers.

Big energy bill, high emission
When zooming in on a modern household, it stands out that about 51% of energy usage is used on heating shower water. Unnecessary high amounts of energy, carbon emission and a big energy bill are the outcome.
High water wastage
Also, a considerable amount of your water usage is used on showering. You might not always realise this, but your shower water is clean tap water. The purification of this water requires a lot of energy and therefore high emissions. Moreover, this purification isn’t limitless, contributing to the ever increasing water shortage.
There must be another way, right?
Lower water and energy wastage
Adjusting showering habits is one possible move, but what else? Our sustainable shower systems deal with the problem: besides providing the primary needs of hygiene and comfort, we also assure this is done in the most efficient way possible.
