The innovation of the day, a shower head that saves up to 75% water, without compromising.

Is it really new?

Yes !

Because we are talking about saving water “without compromise” (the nuance is important).

You're right: a pommel that reduces the flow of water is nothing new.

I don't know if you've ever tried it.

In general, we find ourselves showering with some kind of mist.

It's not very pleasant: there is hardly any pressure and it takes forever to rinse off.

The new generation is as much interested in comfort as it is in savings.

These are knobs that generate drops with very large shapes, while rotating them.

This allows you to have more pressure and cover a larger body surface.

Thus, we will really have the impression of using a normal shower… While saving up to 75% of water.

How many liters of water do we use when showering or bathing?

Enormously !

This is the first item of water consumption in a household: 60 to 80 liters per shower.

150 to 200 for a bath.

This is why we recommend taking showers.

We also recommend turning off the tap when soaping up and turning it on only when rinsing.

But there again, not many of us do it… Especially with soap in our eyes.

Now there is a smart shower head.

It will reduce the water flow when there is no one directly below.

And when you come back to rinse, it puts the flow back to the maximum.

Again, this can save up to 50% of water.

Does that mean you'll have to put in batteries or recharge your shower head?

Fortunately not.

There is a battery.

But it will recharge automatically thanks to a turbine that is activated with the flow of water.

The sensor is also more subtle than that of the taps found in public toilets: it will keep the flow at maximum when you rinse your legs, but reduce it when you bend over to grab the shampoo, for example.

These are pommels offered by the companies Altered and Oasense.

Count all the same between 200 and 400 €.
